Day 375



Got two fish from Amy at Petsmart, in parking lot, in a downpour! Still trying to figure out what kind they are. These fish went into tank#20 (135gal.) Very healthy fish, thank you again.
The issue of the overflow in the 388gal. was solved today. I asked a question to the forum on http://www.michiganreefers.com/ and all my questions were answered, by the saltwater guys! The drain system I had planned was a disaster waiting to happen( drawing on previous blogs). So I called the guys at http://www.greatlakesaquariums.com/ 586-978-1840, located in  Warren,MI. All these guys do in glass, they are building me a overflowbox that stands in the middle of the tank. 16"x6"x 39"tall, out of glass,$40 (this will fit over the two drains in previous picture). I may sand blast this glass so you can't see the plumbing. I will update with pictures as it happens, he said he should be able to build it in the next week.
Tank cleanings are done #11 through #20.
