    The switchover from 40g breeder to 65g display went well. Everyone seems happier than ever [​IMG][​IMG]

    Thanks everyone! Dimensions are 36" long x 18" deep x 24" tall. I can pretty easily reach the bottom in the front when I'm on my new step stool but will have issues if anything falls back. May need to get one of those fancy pincher things. All of the corals are still looking great. Better and happier than they ever did in the 40g. I hope it stays that way. I tweaked the plumbing and flow design of this tank a little bit for improvements so I'm crossing my fingers it stays as awesome /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif Plus a new shiny skimmer for xmas helps hehe

    Looks great Kylie. A 65 is such a great tank for a 3-foot length....and it looks great in your stand/hood - much better than the 40. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    Yes I am so happy with it. And I swear each day my corals look better and better. My baby hammer is getting bigger every day and the big hammer colony from Reefdumb is huge and happy. The sps I got last night look great with their polyps out and brightly colored. All of my acans/blasto's are looking great. I am sooo happy. Hopefully pulling around a bend where I can not worry about killing my corals! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    What size Koraias are you running? ....looks like you have 3, right? Also, how much flow on your return pump?

    I have two koralia 3's running now. The one in the picture isn't on right now but I'm going to move it around and see if I can find a better spot for it. My return pump is a Mag 7 so about 700 gph return minus the loss from the height of the plumbing

    Sounds like with the 2 K-3's and a 700gph return, your total flow is roughly 30x. Should be plenty.
