Thanks for all your comments

just before I got this tank up and running I had a major problem with my old tank and I lost a 6" clam (I got it at 2") a cat and a couple of frogspown corals, some SPS frags and some heads of hammer corals all the soft corals where fine :( and so where the fish :)

I'm not shore what happed it may of been a temperature problem or the fact of not spending as much time on it as I was setting up the new tank but I was gutted especially with losing the clam

I had RO water in the new tank when it happened so I got it salted up and swapped everything over within 8 days and things are going OK (any wood around ?)

I going mainly with a LPS tank with a few zoo's, SPS and some soft corals



My old tank (36x15x20 seashell tank with 6 39Watt T5's)

like the dual wier design, making sure it's not just surface water going to the over flow, must keep the tank very free of detritus. also like the way it softens the corners at the back. if only i had the space to have more equipment. what t-5 lighting did you have on the old tank?
