Jim's 180 build

[Jim_S]

Hahaha!!

Yeah, its gonna be rippin the poop right out of the fish :lol:

 

[Jim_S]

Wow!! Today was crazy!!! I got my new tangs this morning, then had to drive down to the city to drop off my fiance!! I got stuck in traffic and it took 4 hours to get back from SFO

Anyways, the tangs are both doing extremely well. I grabbed the same two as Mark. Australian Dussumier and a Maculiceps Tang. Both are eating already, so I'm stoked. I have them housed in my sump until I pull the sohal and purple tomorrow.

Pics later when I bring them up

I also have some new Helio's on the way. They should be in next week. I hope I like them!!!

BTW, Blue Zoo hooked it up on the packing. Both fish were in immaculate condition when I picked them up, and the care package they provide goes above and beyond customer service!!!

Cheers,

Jim

Are they in yet?

 

[Jim_S]

No, I'm gonna pull the two fish from the display tomorrow when I do a W/C

 

[Jim_S]

I tried to take a TON of pictures. I only got one "semi good" pic of the maculiceps.

The black blotches are actually saltwater on the sump

He's so tiny you need a macro lens to get a decent pic.:lol: Looks good, but the Sohal would eat him for breakfast.

 

[Jim_S]

:lol:

Not even breakfast!!! Like a small snack!!

Yeah, both tangs are very small. 2.5-3.5 inches.

The sohals coming out tomorrow. jthao is coming by to pick it up. I'm gonna pull the purple too for good measure. Just for a week though. Then I'll add it back in

 

[jtarmitage]

So, where the pick of the Duss.?

 

[Jim_S]

Can't get a good one

I'll see what I can do in the morning. I just got frustrated after like 50 pics :lol:

 

[jtarmitage]

I know the feeling.

I just realized, you're still up and posting after working on the tank. Sure can tell the GF is gone!:lol:

Its a smart one!!!

If I was a fish in here in Sacramento, thats where I would be :lol:

This place is like a freakin desert!!!

 

[Jim_S]

Alright, both fish are in from this morning. I sumped the shoal, but the PT stayed in the display. All is well, no aggression and everyone is out swimming.

 

[Jim_S]

Oh yeah, I got bored and decided to move the ballast to the garage as well, taking advantage of the 4" hole in my wall :lol:

I've also decided to place my top-off out there and run a line the wall as well.

I am very pleased that I no longer have to see the eyesore cabinet next to my tank

hey jim, just read through your build thread. wow, you did a great job... and a lot of work to get to where you are now. NICE tank though, I'm jocking. Your tank looks 10 times better in person. Thanks for all the help/ info. I'm sure I'll be asking you for help later down the line.
