I actually have two on that rock but unless he takes a walk, I don't plan on trying to get it off. I have one mean clown fish! Haha.

I bought mine from Maidia and I see him put them for sale every now and again. Great guy, awesome tanks, and awesome coral!

If the orange nem walks grab em! @maidai
 
What kind of tank is this? is this the oceanic 120? I have the same one! How did you plumb it? I have one return pump that splits into two and brings water from sump back to display on right and left sides. Then in the middle I have two overflow drains that combine to make one overflow pipe that returns water from display to the first compartment of my sump. Did you leave one open as a emergency overflow? What does "bean animal style" overflow mean?
 
Correct, Oceanic 120. I do love this tank!

I plumbed one return that feeds the left side. The following three holes are for 1x full siphon, 1x trickle drain, 1x emergency. The idea is that the full siphon handles 99% of the water completely silently (no air) and the straight stack has just a miniscule amount of water tricking down the sides which should be silent also. If anything goes out of whack, you can hear the drains and can investigate accordingly.

I'll also take a pic of the plumbing when I get home.

How do u get a full siphon and what does that look like? I'm worried cuz I don't have any emergency drain. Have u had any instances where u had to use the emergency overflow?

So I had a shrimp get into my overflow and got caught in the full siphon partially clogging it. Because the full siphon handles a lot more than a standard stand pipe, the emergency is there to handle any extra. I would assume it would need to be a bad partial block or a full block to utilize the emergency but I like having the backup.

If you have good flow already, then use the other return for the emergency.

New equipment added!

2 BRS 50ml/min dosers and two 20g brute cans. One for fresh salt water water and one for waste!

Just upped it to 1g WC a day. Have had it running for the last month on 4.5gal a week and everything is doing really well. I just think I should up it since I'm not even doing 5%

Thanks man! I bought one from [MENTION=454]maidia[/MENTION] a year and a half ago. Amazing new!

I get asked all the time if I am selling one of them but their foot is so far deep in that rock I'll have to wait until another split or when one starts walking.
