What kind of skimmer are you running in there? Maybe a little more flow in the tank might help as... Still a great work in progress!!!

Looks good so far! How do you like the Kessil light?

You got another tank lurking on the side :wink:, what's in that thing?!

Nice tank! would love to see more pics

Thanks everyone for the replies. Currently I'm not running a skimmer, thought about it, but figured I'd go with bigger weekly water changes. I'm for sure thinking of adding another power head for more flow. The tank lurking in the the pic is our 100 bow front that's fish only system. That houses 2 puffers (dog face & porcupine) 2 groupers (panther & miniatus) baby snowflake eel, Green Wolf eel, Foxface, picasso trigger and a lion. So far everyone plays well together expect when I tried adding a small clown trigger before most of these fish, but had the picasso...yeah no go picasso tore that little guy apart. By the time I got him out to late. The two were the same size both 2.0" . We are actually upgrading to a 240 or 300 within a few months. I'll post up some more pictures soon. (camera batteries charging).

Nice tank, how do you like it without the top, any issues with jumpers? I have the HQI model, debated on taking the top off but ended up leaving it as is. You might want to look at InTanks media basket. It is much better than the stock one.

Thanks. I personally love it topless, haven't had any issues with jumpers. I've thought about upgrading the media basket but haven't done it yet.
