I'm starting a 40 gallon . I'm looking to do a herbie overflow very similar to yours how big are your bulkheads and what size is your overflow box? Thanks for posting your 40b!

The bulkheads where the ones to fit 1" pvc for the two drains, and 3/4" pvc for the return side. I used an overflow box from eBay. I'll see if I can find one.

I'm pretty sure this is the same one.

Added a Potter's leopard wrasse friday. He's very active but hasnt been interest in garlic soaked prawn roe and LRS. I'm gonna get some more pods tomorrow and hopefully get him eating (or at least let me see him eat). Here are some photos of the fish and a few corals that are finally coloring up.

FTS today

Got my Potters eating cyclopeeze to start along with the pods I had. Before I tore the tank down for a move he was eating NLS pellets. The smallest they make. Waiting for my new Potters now. Good luck they can definitely be a challenge to get to eat.

A little collage of all my fish from photos I've taken and blacked out the background.

So I ended up catching the C. rubripinnis for constant harassing the C. lubbocki. Ended up trading in the red fin for a nice pink margin /C. rubrimarginatus yesterday.

Updated collage of livestock.

This is what I did. mixed some pods in with the cyclops and it looked like he was eating it. Hopefully he keeps it up! Plus its only $5 a pack s the $20 i pay for LRS. Everythig but the leopard wrasse LOVES the LRS though. Who knows maybe one day here soon the leopard with take a bite of that LRS and start eating it.

New video of all the new fish together during feeding of cyclops mixed with some pods.

Nice, I hope that works for you Paul. The leopard may eat it too. My leopard eats small miss and tiny bits of LRS. Best of Luck. I get my new potter tomorrow if all goes well.

Picked up one of these the other day with the blade attachment. I'm in love with it. Impressive once again mag-float.

tank looks great and appears the Potters and Pink Margin are doing great. My new potters just came out today after being buried for 3 days. But looks great.

Yep, cyclops was a charm. He's even eating the LRS now. New favorite for sure.

 

[Lbfnp]

thats been my combo with all my leopards and Potters. Works like a charm.

The little Lubbock's is considered a goner. It's been to long since I've seen it. All the others are doing fantastic. Here is a feeding video I took today. The potter's leopard is going to town on that cyclops!
