Nadia loves to get into everything. She has herself convinced that she going to swim in the new tank .

The BK is a 250 internal DeLuxe.

Lookin' good, Brian, and your little mermaid is a sweetie...

I have most of everything I can do with out the tank done. I'm more nervous about moving it in.

I know everyone waiting for water..... one more week!

During my wait I was able to finally put the router away by finishing my matching "RO water box". Just a box to hind the rubbermade that will hold my top off water. Sadly I can't hold enough water under the tank so this was my only option.

I also put together my GEO Ca reactor. I have had this for almost 2 yrs and never touched it. I have to say they are built like a tank!

The box came out real nice for your top off. Should really compliment the setup well and the best part it will not look like a storage container!

Thanks Scott,

I'm pretty happy with it.

Today I got a new pair of Centropyge multicolor. Still rebuilding my fish collection after losing most in the move. Any more fish suggestion?

 

[DanW]

Sweet fish Brian, I was actually considering them also congrats. I'd be very interested on how they do with your corals. I am a wrasse guy, so I'm partial to them.

Kool fish Brian .. I am also checking those angels out.. Let me know how they behave ..

 

[tanglovers]

Ah...I remember when our multicolor angel pair was that size and that white in color. Ours do ok in our SPS reef. My female (the smaller of the two) is a nipper for sure but the larger male is fine.

I would imagine they will darken up like mine did once they are in our main reef (look better that way IMO anyhow since the C. nahacki is unobtainable).

Thanks Dan and Steve, This will be my 4th and 5th angels that I have kept in a reef. Before the move I had a pair of flames and an Imperator. The only one that picked was the female flame. Keep in mind I keep 99% SPS.

IMO angels are king of the reef and worth keeping. I can live with a little less PE. If feed well they are great addition. I plan to have 8-12 angels, large and small. Plus a few butterfly's.

Thanks Scott, My guess is that they will darken. I know you like the darker look, but I hope they will stay lighter. With all the angels you have one nipper out of the bunch isn't bad. Concerning your Moorish Idol doesn't pick, I'd say your doing pretty well.

I completely agree. The female multicolor is by far the worst fish in the tank for nipping but it is fine, the sacrafices we make for our angels

Any word on the delivery date for the beast?

The tank has been delayed a week . There were some issues with it and lets hope that there are no more. Other than that it will be shipped oh Tues.

Mark, wait to you see what I'm getting next week. Besides the tank :bum: .

 

[tanglovers]

Next weeks addition should be very nice (not talking about the tank - we know that will be sweet!).

Well, I would bet good money it's an angel of some type if you are teasing Mark about it.

I'm sure you'll enjoy yours too. And the tank better be nice after this last stunt.
