The topoff was not very efficient (it had to go through two valves and one of them was not working properly). I rebuilt it. |

One more rock added to the top. |

Everyone seems to like it better with more rock. |

Moved excess rock in to help feed the Mandarin Dragonets. |

The Xenia didn't like the flow in the left-center, so I moved them to the far right. |

Most of the algae is gone from the substrate, but still there is too much on the rocks. A Yellow Tang would probably help... |
|

Algae is coming under control thanks to skimming, algae growth in the refugium, and Kionon's eating habits... |

As of August 25, 2005
The topoff system (white tube rising to the left of the tank) still requires lugging a few gallons every day or two, but no manual intervention beyond that. I can't wait for the real automation... |

New live rock and a top-off system...
A guy was selling off his 70 lbs. of live rock for a dollar a pound, and the Anthelia was free. |
|
|
|
After addition of the refugium underneath...
I was trying to generate enough critters (copepods, mostly) to ensure the system could sustain the Mandarin Dragonet. |
|
|
|
110 Gallon Reef in its Temporary Home, still cloudy from the move...
I wish I had pictures from the move. It was no picnic. But my plan worked pretty well and there were no significant casualties. |
