no no no jeboa is a lot better and cheaper and you get more flow then hydor

Bit too late, already running the hydor and it seems to be doing just fine. If it starts to go downhill I'll look into the jeboa though.

Been awhile and the diatoms are finally almost gone. Now I've got this green stuff starting to come int, not sure what it is so I guess I will just wait and see.

Nice scape. . Neat looking..

Finally starting with my corals now, got a zoo from my LFS. I counted 12 heads on it so far so we will see what the actual count is once they open up. For now, heres some closed shots

Looks great! I'm just starting to set up my first tank as well and it's also a Nuvo 20. How is the noise level from the pump? Looking forward to see more!

Long time no post, I've been super swamped (great joke by me, I go to UF) at school so lost track of keeping up here. More photos to hold everyone over, I've been having a bit of a debris problem but I've got some filter floss on the way to see if that will snag some of it up. Also picked up a favia today, really love its colors.

Looking good! I like the scape.

Picked up another friend for the tank today, orange spotted goby. Hoping he will be fairly useful in stirring up the sand a bit.

Made some changes to the coral placement recently, the zoas looked to be stretching a lot for the light so I've tried putting them higher on the opposite side of the tank and putting a torch in their old place. Doing a large water change tomorrow morning that way I can take some time to clean off the rocks and some hard to reach places.

Looking good so far! I love the scape. I have a nuvo 20 too, just about done cycling

I'm looking to get started soon, so this thread has been helpful, thanks!

How did you do your scaping, as far as keeping everything together? I love the look of the arch, and I'd like to do something similar in mine, when I actually get going with it.

The tank is looking awesome! Congratulation on the new corals.

My scaping was pretty easy to set up due to the pieces of rock I received, the arch is actually two different rocks that I was able to set together perfectly to make it look like one arching rock. I know many people who will use different types of epoxy or even dowels, in the end though it definitely just depends on the rocks that you get!
