gorgeous fish. Upgrading? To what?

 

[SDguy]

240g... arrives tomorrow...

 

[snorvich]

That is going to be a great tank. FOWLR or reef?

 

[SDguy]

FOWLR... basically, butterfly heaven

I feel funny calling a glass box beautiful, but that is a good looking tank haha. Can't wait to see those stunning fish in there!

 

[SDguy]

Thanks Alexa...I think the flavirostris is the last on my wanted list once this tank is up and running!

 

[Winwood]

Love the rainfordi and all of them for that matter! Can't wait to see the new setup!

Here they are with a treat of venus clams...

240g... arrives tomorrow...

Really looking forward to watching this one develop!
So what's the expected time line for the change over?
Do I sense a build thread coming along?

 

[snorvich]

Ironically, that is almost the exact tank I have in the kitchen. I am sure you will love it!!

Very nice tank Peter,I am sure all the fishes will be happy in their new home.
I see you have two personifiers.How are they doing ,are they a pair.What size are they.

 

[HiImSean]

very nice! i cant wait to see the upgrade!

 

[Dr Colliebreath]

Should be nice. What are the dimensions on the tank, what water flow are you planning, and what lighting? Will it be bare bottom and why not a thin layer of sand?

And now many more butterflies will you add?

 

[Kahuna Tuna]

Is that a 8'x2'x2' 240? Nice looking tank, looks like a big single overflow?

 

[rpjaws74]

very nice selection of fish you have!! And I agree with the upgrade it looks like your angels really needed it. good luck with the moorish idol!

 

[darthparj]

sick videos!

is that tank made by LeeMar?

Not sure. Since the new tank is going into a different location, the old one will remain running. I have some new rock that has already cured for a couple months now, so hopefully just a few weeks after setting it up I'll be able to transfer the fish.

Those are actually meredithis. You can read about them here: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1732583&highlight=meredithi

Yup, standard 240, one overflow (two 1.5" drains). Leemar tank, stand and canopy. Same as my reef, except I got this one done in red mahogany.

Thanks, the MI has doubled in size since I bought it last year, so I'm hopeful I have a winner there!

You have a great collection of fish there....A "Butterfly Tank" is definitely on the list of tanks I would love someday.

SD, being honest man.. I think if this was my tank and butterflies i would never stop watching this tank O_O.. I'm afraid to even try one, much less have a gorgeous set up with a lot of them. vert well done man, can't wait till the tank is in
