I know, I know... That ballast just better be here by tomorrow.

You can stock it without light on one side........

 

[calvin415]

I know, but how embarassing come party time on Saturday when half the tank won't light up!

 

[Caleb Kruse]

what do you plan on putting in there?
Mixed reef or are you gonna have it dominated by some type of coral?
What kind of fish are you gonna put in there?
Its looking great!!

 

[calvin415]

Thanks Caleb, probably just fill it with Xenia and Green Star Polyps.

J/K, it will be a SPS & Tang dominated mix.

 

[Caleb Kruse]

That will look amazing in a 225 gallon tank.

 

[Huhhhhh]

That's going to kick some serious a$$ when it's done.

...Tang dominated...

You should add 4 pearly jawfish in there to give the bottom a kick. That is a nice job on the aquascaping, Eric. Can't wait to see it stocked.

 

[PuebloReefer]

WOW! That is seriously amazing. Now I know exactly who to call to help me design and build in my tanks when the time comes!

Thanks, it's nothing crazy like Chris's 600, but I think it fits the space rather well.

Oh it will have plenty of other critters to help churn up the sand bed and keep the tank moving, they can't all be big.

Thanks bro, Welcome to ReefCentral and SCMAS! Hope to see you at the next meeting in Pueblo! There is plenty of experience here in SC to help you spend some money, I mean get your tank up and going.

Some Yellows, a Powder Blue, and maybe a Purple...

 

[LarryW]

sweet. I wish I had a big enough tank for a Sohal.... Maybe when I upgrade to a 600g+ in the basement....

 

[calvin415]

I know what you mean, I'd love to get some large tangs, but I think the 1 Naso will max the tank out. Not to mention the Naso was my Dad's reason for going with the tank.

 

[calvin415]

Dual HQI should be here today!

 

[aquaman2000]

Just in time for the party!
