500 Gallon Build

I may be crazy but I had to have it! Figured there was no better time then to add it now rather then later when it's too late when achilles is already in. Now I can QT both of them and introduce into the DT at the same time. Wish me luck getting him eating, healthy, and together with the achilles I have had for a little bit now! I suppose I coud QT them seperately if I sense it wont work.

... and I just mentioned it as a joke!

Wall Hammer, pretty good size, photos just don't do anything justice for size.

The smaller head is nearly the same size as the bigger head now

The Duncan coral was one of the couple original corals placed in the tank. Was closed up until recently, and coming back after a few months. Weird stuff.

Blue Linckia is still kickn'! I was a little worried as I havent seen him in a while. Appeared tonight and looking good. He was a freeby for being pail in coloring to begin with.

Wow. What a cool Achilles! Is that the divers den one from the other day?

The blue outline all over the hybrid looks incredible, but cant really see much of it in the pic!

Looking great Scott

How are the Achilles and Hybrid getting along in QT?

Just had a day of war between our Yellow and Black Tangs... looks like the Yellow is backing off now.

I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOU TANGS NOW!

I really need to get my personal QT tanks up and running again. Passed on Two Achilles Hybrids and Two Zebra tangs so far in the last few months

I tried it like that at first but ended up moving the big guy (hybrid) down to the bottom tank. Once I turned the white lights on after a while they were starting to get a little intolerant of each other. With the blue they were just fine. Didn't want to leave for the shop and have them kill each other in a small space. The hybrid is bigger then we were expecting, he is a really nice size!

Yeah thought they might not like each other in a small space.

We either get them pretty small or around that size, no where in the middle for some reason.

Working my way up there, it's an awful lot of weight!

One of these crabs hangs out on an overflow, this one on the capret.

Then I used a reference image with custom white balance to remove all of the blue coloring, not sure if I really like it.

Trachy is doing great again, angel doesn't bother it anymore!
