Looks nice!

I am having Alk issue too over a CO2 bottle running dry. I just can't seem to adjust it after a change. This is only the third CO2 tank I have used and it seems to happen with each new bottle???

Does your blue stripped rabbit eat zoos and shrooms? Mine is a finned trash can!

i dont have zoos or mushrooms in the tank. i have one ricordia but he doesnt bug it.

Looks great! Thanks for the update!
What are you doing to take top down shots? I made a box out of acrylic scrapes and it seems to work well.

i shut all the pumps off and let it sit for about 2 minutes and take the shots then. i'd like a camera box so i wouldnt have to do that everytime

I'm now officially tagging along. For the 100th time, great aquaspcaping and overall great tank. I have a couple of questions, how is the Powder Blue tang doing and how long did you take to add your fish? Did you quarantine them all first? Any ich outbreaks? Thanks

 

[Tangwich]

Oh and lastly, I read that you have two mandarins. Are both male or female or one of each? Asking because I have one and want to add the other type as well. Thanks

hey tangwich. i got rid of the powder blue a few months ago. he was a bastard and will kill anything added into the tank. i'm not saying its good but i have not qt'd any fish and never had any ich issues. i have a green spotted and a psycedelic and i added a second psychedelic but the other killed it then the green spotted killed the original psychedelic. if that makes sense. i will not add another because of this.

i lucked out on getting a hold of a few new pieces. they need to color up a bit but i think they are going to rock.

Colin,

These photos simply ROCK! I love the photos, especially those showing the fish being hand-fed. It's great to see your tank is coming along. I am sooooooo slow in adding to my tank. I finally added 3 more fish and some more corals. I guess I need to post major updates to my thread. Your fish seem to be doing well. Being a Tang fan, I was a little leary as to how many tangs I can add. However, being we have the same size tank, you have defintely provided the ground work. I was really worried when you added the Powder Blue as they are notoriously mean. Glad you took him out early on. Keep up the awesome work! I will continue to follow!

WOW! I am working on a 265 set-up also...I am going more along the LPS and fish route., How many fish...and what species do you have in there at this point?

Ha..ha...(inside joke)

Beautiful corals!

And, a fantastic group of fish. A list would be great.
