Right now the system has a Mag 18 and a Quiet One pump. I don't remember which model on the Quiet One

I had the same thing on my broodstock tank... and I did the same and had the same result.

So it probably was a bacterial bloom then. Cool, glad it is all better now.

Found a little time to get take some pictures in the broodstock setup and document my pairs that are living there

Snowflake pair

Ocellaris pair (one of these guys had Top Dressed Otohime the other didn't)

Darwin Pair

Blackline Fang blenny (This was the only one of the trio that wanted to be photographed)

Austrailan Long Nose Butterfly Pair (Destined the display tank but getting acclimated in a 40 Breeder for now). I really didn't like how this pic turned out. They really don't live in brown water.

And for kicks an old pic of my Fire Clown pair that has been with me for a couple of years now. (The only pair that survived the move)

Also, I have completed the sump move and have everything plumbed back together and running. I am really liking the ATI skimmer on the reef system. I also re-aquascaped the display yesterday. I will post some pics tomorrow once the all sand settles back down.

I decided to make some changes to the breeding setup. A lot of which was drived by changes I wanted to make on the filtration in the display. On Friday, I took a day off work and picked up a used Mars unit that was for sale. Since I bought that MARS unit I was able to eliminate the back section breeding setup (which I will later used for larval rearing and other stuff). I spent parts of this weekend plumbing the remaining breeding set up into the sump that was part of the MARS unit. I purchased a Super Reef Octopus 5000 External Skimmer that should be here this week to complete the breeding setup. I am the 180G that was the sump in the breeding system and using that as the sump for the display tank. Here is picture of the system as it stands now (I need to do some wire clean up)

I will post some more pics once I have the whole thing completed.

Here is the final display tank all trimmed out. My daughter wanted the purple wall so we did the purple trim to match.
