It's all about the T-bone/Porterhouse. :thumbsup:

 

[tbone28]

Mike, you should go for that tank. It's almost the same dimensions you're looking for!

 

[BreadmanMike]

If the tank wasn't 3k miles away I'd be beggin the wife.

 

[tbone28]

It might be worth freight?

 

[BreadmanMike]

It would definitely be worth the freight. I just don't think I'm up for a project like that right now. It would be awesome though.

 

[Jim_S]

Mike, yeah, I guess that guy's system was sick! Lots of LE corals.

WAY too much for me to take on :lol:

Yeah, I love the porterhouse as well. We have a Morton's downtown that has a killer porterhouse! But being from Illi, I'm sure there are plenty of great steaks available. How far are you from Chicago?

Alright, I got the PT acclimated and put in the tank. Now I'm doing a cleaner shrimp. I'll my wrasses and anthias tomorrow, and my sohal is gonna find a new home in the sump for a week or two.

I want to put the canopy on, but I don't want to have to take it down again when I add more fish.

 

[jtarmitage]

Hey Jim, what pump were you running the old 125 with?

 

[tbone28]

Jim, what's the PT fish? How big is your sohal?

 

[jtarmitage]

The PT=Purple Tang, and his Sohal is about 6", and so far anyhow, a panzy!

 

[tbone28]

gotcha. My current sohal is The BOSS. that's for sure. The Sohal in my last tank was mellow yellow. Lucky you have a cool cat for a Sohal!

 

[BreadmanMike]

There is one town between me and the south side of Chicago. I stay away from the city though. Too many people for my liking.

 

[Jim_S]

JT,

I was running the same panworld 100px-x. What are you thinking of using?

Terry,

No, this fish is not mellow at all. It was acting like a baby in the stock tank for the first time that I have seen. But my PT is no push over and if given time, will be able to hold its own, as it did in the past. I just don't want to give the sohal the upper hand.

I have decided that they will be only two large fish in the tank. The rest will be small

 

[tbone28]

Gotcha. That's a good move. Small fish? Have you come up with a stocking list? wrasses, anthias?

 

[BreadmanMike]

lyretail anthias are really nice and really cheap.

 

[tbone28]

I've been eyeing Ventralis Anthias. Wavering on if I want to spend that much money on a fish that is hard to get eating.

 

[BreadmanMike]

LA had female lyretails on sale for $12.99 about a month ago so I grabbed five on a group buy. It ended up costing me $81.00 which is a steal.

I've never messed with the ventralis but they are beautiful.
