Nice tank! I see some anthias in there, what other fish do you have?

 

[ucsb_irishman]

Thank you for all your comments. I will work on a full aquarium equipment and spec. list...probably have it one here by Friday. The fish that I currently have in this aquarium are a captive bred Flame Angel, two female Square Anthias, a pair of Percula Clowns w/ one additional Percula Clown "friend", a Algae Blenny, a Flasher Wrasse, a Royal Gramma, and a Green Clown Goby; as well as three Dispar Anthias, a male Square Anthias, and two Purple Queen Anthias that were added yesterday. Then in a quarantine tank I have three Yellow Tangs, two additional female Square Anthias, and a Purple Firefish that will be added in about a week. There will be more pictures to come...Keep on posting your comments. Thanks

Oh, about the clean sand...I suspect that the sand stays so clean because of the three sand shifter stars that I have in the aquarium. Also, two large 1500gph powerheads located on both sides of the tank, along with the 1200gph of water I have returning from the sump, produce an extreme current that keeps debris from settling on the sand or rock work. Thanks

nice tank, whats the lighting combination on it?

 

[ucsb_irishman]

I run two 250w MH w/ 14k lamps along with four 110w VHO Actinic bulbs. Full tank specs to be posted soon. Thanks

 

[damienkee]

very clean & tidy....

Lovely lovely tank!!! Nice work! What makes are those Power Head "beasts"!!!???

 

[ucsb_irishman]

These powerheads are Seio M1500's. They are very powerful and instead of producing a narrow jet of water like most powerheads, they produce a very broad stream of water.
