Any updates? Looks great your choice of fish are very close to the 500 gallon reef I am setting up.

terrible....I haven't had time to build a canopy with all the changes at work and both crosshatches jumped out, a pyramid jumped out through the egg crate and the other one got stuck to the stupid vortecs....

 

[jgs107]

did the crosshatches die.from looking at the height of your tank im guessing they did.that sucks.

 

[Tangwich]

damn, sorry to hear about the crosshatches Turbo. Are you planning on replacing them? I take it that if you do, you'll get the canopy built first huh? Good luck and keep us updated with pics please. lol

 

[Bax]

Sorry, that sucks!

 

[edandsandy]

Sorry to hear about your loss! I know how frustrating this hobby can be.

How do you like the quality of your tank?

 

[edandsandy]

Any updates?

 

[ffrancica]

Hi, Thats a beautiful tank. I set it as my desktop. Hope to see some updates as it progresses. So I can update my desk top:fun4:

I want to put a Sohal in my 250 which is being built.

How does yours get along with all the tangs?

Other tangs would be Unicorn, Vlamingi, and yellow + the sohal. (and other fish)

I hear they are VERY aggressive towards other tangs

this may take a while...

Dumb question - what kind of powerhead is that?

 

[tangers]

looks like a vortech to me.

sorry guys I had some family stuff come up and the tank got terribly neglected, had a few jumpers I am hoping I can get back to it soon.

Right now the Sohal is king but he doesnt really pester anyone much but I also have plenty of room and hiding spaces for anyone that is on the run. I think being almost 11' long helps keep aggression to a minimum.

Yes it is a vortec, there are 3 on each side.

 

[20vturbo]

some quick snapshots I just took...please excuse the dirty glass and only having 2 of the 5 MH's on

 

[FerrariStradale]

He would be the last one in the tank. My LFS got one in today, 3 1/2 inches... I can't take him now though since my tank is no where near being done.

How big is yours?

 

[20vturbo]

hes around 7in

 

[FerrariStradale]

Very nice. Love your tank!
Good luck with it!

 

[FerrariStradale]

What kind of chiller is that?

 

[20vturbo]

its an aquanetics chiller.

 

[Robb in Austin]

You know what would look really nice in there? A yellow tang!

Seriously, great tank and build. Been lurking since you started.

 

[StripestheEel]

Yellow tang much?

LOL!

Looks great!
