Your tank is definitely one I look forward to updates with.

Glad to see it's doing as well as you planned.

How is the Siporax doing for you?

 

[mark54321]

Thanks, so far so good, corals are doing good, now I am ready to stock with fish
Siporax is doing its job I guess, no problems with nitrates and phosphates, and last time I did WC was couple of months ago. Planning to change 40 gal. next weekend.
Here is today's picture from the top

What fish is this hanging out under the gorgonian?

 

[mark54321]

It is Sunset anthia, I have beautiful male, now looking to add about 7 females.

They are a gorgeous fish and not easy to keep from what I've been told.

Good job!

Truly beautiful.

Aside from the sunset anthias, are you still planning on a group of ventralis, or have your plans changed?

:wave:

I've had them before, they do very well in dim lit , cooler reef.

No, Ventralis are still in plans, now I just have to wait to find healthy group of them. Plan is to have about 20 Anthias together, and one or two bigger fish like Bandit angel or Tinkeri butterfly.

I think I could drool over this tank all day long. It look amazing.

 

[Bent]

Nice.

Every time I watch other people's vids, I think I have too much flow.

 

[mark54321]

Finally got around to make my screen top, I have some new fish coming soon, I don't want to find any carpet surfers. So far no fish jumped but it is just a matter of time before they do.

Very nice. thanks for the update

 

[Darth_Tater]

How difficult was it to get the screen tight with the hole in the middle?

 

[maxxII]

You have what I aspire to have....


A tank that you can sit in front of and lose track of time because it's so beautiful.
