I don't know. That tang looks a bit cramped.

Really looks nice!

First off... Very nice build thus far. I really like the idea of using a tank like this to seperate a living space from another space. I have toyed with this idea and may do something similar after inspirations such as this. 3 sides viewable with a width that allows for a natural reef structure build is really nice and your tank shows why.

The tang looks to be loving how much room he/she has in there. I wouldn't worry about its size. Seems to be just fine and IMO has plenty of room.

Keep us updated.

I've had a bit of a bad week both cardinals are gone. One had a fight with a CL Return and lost, the other just died. It was fine one day and gone the next. The anemone got to close to a CL return and lost. Thank god I found it before it crashed the tank. I woke up at 3am to check on everything and it was stuck to the screen. The clowns have been lost its like they are homeless.

I'm going to have to figure out a way to block off the CL returns.

I think I may have too much flow. I think I'll stick with coral's I seem to have much better luck with them.

The cabinet should be getting finished soon. He came by last week.

I still need to get my calcium reactor hooked up I haven't done that yet. I'm a little scared of messing something up.

I thought I would do an update. I had to make some changes as I'm trying to work out some of the bugs. I think I had to much light(never thought I would say that) and to much water flow.

Is this tank still up? Any updates? I'm picking up the same size (not a peninsula though).

 

[hershell]

I broke it down a little over a year ago. I will do a lot of things different the time around.

Good luck with your build.
