I had it in the shade... just moved it into moderate light today. and it has a ton of flow where it now is. I think it is going to be amazing.

I absolutely love that fish.
He just fell in with the other tangs after a week or two,
Now they just remind me of the old lady walking her 3 poodles on leashes. They just pall around and beg for food.

Thanks guys, I actually sorta just phoned these photos in. In a week or two, I'll break out the tripod, remote trigger, 24" display, shoot in mirror up, and spend some time in post cleaning some them up.
It's a lot of work though. Each shot may take 2-3 minutes of setup and you toss about 90%

Strangest thing, and I hope it doesn’t mean that he’s sick but my vlamingi now not only let’s me pet him but any time my hand is the tank, he tends to swim over and present.
It’s kinda awsome.

It's only an hour a day this time of year but you can't even tell that there is almost 1,000 watts of metal halides running.. Nature is awesome

He is cute but at 1' long, he's not very little
What's really cute is when my hand is in the tank, he begs me to pet him.

My new euroquatics E5X blue pop lamps showed up yesterday. I slapped them in and now I have MH, T5 and LED.
They really do pop the corals, I still like the natural look of radiums much better but it’s nice to see why the silly teniusiouse get so much money.
Trying to figure out which lamps to run with the E5X’s. I have 4 60” slots and available lamps are ATI blue plus and ATI actenic.

Air Gyre
Air Gyre
Summer is coming and I don't want a chiller. My first attempt at fan cooling on this tank was over the sock section in the sump, it didn't cool enough so I set off to build an Air Gyre. It doesn't gyre bit it does blow a lot of air acros the water surface
First I marked up my 1/2" plexiglass
After the rough cut, I drilled and tapped mounting holes for the fans
After spending some time with sand paper, files and a belt sander getting the straight parts straight and the round parts round I start finishing the edges with a router
Best helper in the worls woke up at the crack of noon to help out.
Next we used nylon machine screws to mount the Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-2000 5" industrial fans, IP52 certified water and dust protection to the Plexiglas
And here it is on the tank
Before building this setup, I used these fans with the bracket at the top of this post for proof-of-concept and it was remarkably effective. no need for a chiller and if left on, even with the halides I can cool the tank enough to turn the heaters on.
