Wow! What a great thread you have going here...by far the BEST build thread I have read over the years. Thank you for all the excellent information.

Just read thru the whole thread. Nice build thread. A lot of information in there. I can't believe how far the tank has come in growth from the beginning. Looks great.

I'm in the process of building my 180 now. I hope it comes out as good as yours. Great job.

I picked this guy up last weekend. He seems to be fitting in well.

extremely kewl fish but mine was a coral muncher

 

[Capt_Cully]

Yeah, watch that guy!!! those guys will decimate some zoos!!! Keep a close eye on him!

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

mine ate Acropora. He must have thought he was a Parrotfish

 

[magdelan]

So far so good. I am offering seaweed every day and and feeding nightly now. Let's keep him fat and happy!!

Sweet progress Mike it's filling out great ... I have Powder Brown in my 90 g and he's doing pretty well. Also watch out for breakouts of ich every once in a while - they are iffy like Hippos when stressed.

I just finished re-plumbing my 2 tanks together. What a pain in the *** but I think it's well worth it since now I reduced the amount of power consumers since a lot was duplicated to support 2 separate systems. Unfortunately after all that I didn't even use my 110g trough. It may turn into a rain water holder for my yard instead.

Just took this pic tonight. I am going to try to take a better fts sunday when all the lights are on. This was taken with only actinic...some colors are more vivid than they should be and others like the purple cap aren't colorful enough. Check out the growth since my last fts!
