250 gallon build thread

very nice, i will one day have a 200+ gallon tank once i get the wife on board :) I wanted so bad to get black sand but everybody i talked to at my 3 LFS talked me out of it. I also like the idea of a fish room. I have a closet right now wish is pretty good but i'm starting to out grow it :)
 
dude i am always around.... i am on a break from the salt for a while... I am on an aggressive cichlid tank right now... ill post you a picture of my dovii project...
 
Nice build you've got going there Michael.
Your fish look real heathy.

I'm busy setting up my system and am torn between the pros and cons of a QT.
In my opinion, the set up stresses the new fish causing desease. I just think, the sooner a fish gets into a good DT with lots of hiding space, natural food etc, the better its chances of survival. I wonder if your Regal 2 would have survived if you had put him straight into the DT?
 
He was diseased. If it were contagious it would have wiped out my dt. Qt is far less stress than the dt. Fish harrass sick fish. Qt is absolutely critical.
 
I will not be in illinois unfortunatly. I will be in missouri for trout fishing with vince. We planned this out a couple of weeks ago. I only know of a few people coming, vince, amy, sheena, sheenas man, liesli, travis. It will be me and my little brother 25-27 of june.
 
Oh and i do not have any control over who goes to this. I believe it is open to anyone who would like to go pending campsites are available. You should try to come up over or what ever it is depending on your location. Talk to vinny for details as he is going up on thursday the 24th to reserve space. It will be at montauk state park.

Too short of notice. They never tell me about anything. Someday you will come to il.
 
Well the weather is cooling off again, so I will be messing around with the tank more. Working on purchasing an adult Emperor Angel right now to add to the mix.
 
Nice. Glad to see some action on the 'ole thread again. Tell me, how are the corals doing; ie the amazing green lps from page 13 and the vibrant blue lps from page 14...?
 
Just finished reading thru the whole thread. Nice tank and great patience. HAve you done anything else to the basement (other than fish stuff). And how is the little one doing?
 
Have not had the money to make any more improvements. My son is doing great, we just had a lot of fun on halloween. He went as a tiger. I was a proud papa!
