130 X 36 x 36 inbound...any suggestions?

Darn You! On a side note, do you have any shots or details on your sump. I have a 75 currently on my 120 and think i'm going to re-design it for the new 240. Do you battle nitrates/are you worried about them. My current design makes it difficult to keep them up 60 - 80 parts, even with large water changes. The fish don't seem to mind, but for some reason it bugs me.

There are two...combined about 220 gallons...one has two 7 x 14, 200 mic socks and lr, this is where the Interrupta is...the 2nd has four 7 x 14, 200 mic socks...between the skimmer and wc I am able to keep them fairly low...will try and put up some pics...
 
Interesting, so you have just loaded the sumps with live rock and the tank with live rock and that handles the bio load for you. My old system had bio balls, which I think is what caused the high nitrates, I don't believe i'll be using them again.

I think you said earlier in this thread, but you change those socks pretty often correct? I'll wait for the pictures.
 
tank is marco dry...the one sump has maybe 40-50 pounds of lr but is not loaded by any means...other sump is empty except for a queen trig...I swap out the socks every 10 days or so...prior to selling off the fish last month I was swapping them out every 3-4 days...

Did I read the thread correctly that you are hoping to breed your clarions? If so, how do I get on that list?

No, I wish...the group that bred the Annularis this year has successfully bred Clarions...they are not going to do this in large numbers...they say it was a pretty easy for them...they are really focusing on breeding Conspics which has proven to be much tougher...they keeping dying on day 12...I imagine their 1st batch of Clarions will be out in another 6 weeks or so, the 2nd batch shortly after...if you are interested in Clarions- not from this tank bred batch- some will be avail very soon...
 
they keep their fish in huge outdoor pools...cool thing is that initially they had no idea who the eggs belonged to as there are a few different kinds of angels in that specific pool...simply amazing they turned out to be clarion..

That must have been a great surprise for them to find out it was clarions, hopefully next time they will be peppermints
 
okay, not sure I believe this one but I just got this pic from a solid source...
of the mythical kingi and was told it might be for sale...anybody else hearing about this fish or seen this pic?? like I said, I find it very, very hard to believe...but with the amount of crazy rare fish around- anything is possible...
lol, will keep you updated...
 
I've seen a full blown male in person at BH. To be honest, Kingis don't do it for me. Looks like a freshwater fish. But the rare factor is nice :).
