Still trying to fatten Brodie up. He came to me very skinny and is just finally eating Nori. Should be able to get him plump soon enough :D
 
Love the integration of this aquarium with the room - its all very well thought out and executed. Tank looks beautiful, and I love the bare scape. Are all the fish able to find places to sleep? (my only concern about going with even less rock)

Yeah they all disappear so I guess so :)

I think there is more rock than it appears. Its deceptive. With the tank being 2.5' wide. There is more rock in the back of the tank than it looks I think.

If they disappear, they are happily asleep :)

The rock on the back wall brought up one other thought, and I'm guessing with your attention to detail you've already thought this through, but did you leave enough room between the rock and wall to scrape the visible areas of the back wall?

Yeah there is actually only one place the rock actually touches the back wall. Its kind of to the right of the overflow.

There are a few spots that would be tough to scrap though.

Actually I need to scrap the overflow today :)

I want to make sure the back glass/overflow stays nice and clean/black.

Actually I have also noticed that with ZEO, I have been getting much less coraline growth.
 
Your tank is fantastic Justin....I love your Tusk, I so wish I had gotten the Aussie. Had an Indo on sale and I jumped at it last May, nice fish, but Aussies are so much prettier.

Thanks!

Yeah he really is a nice lookin' fish.

Unfortunately the ich in my tank is getting real bad. I have had ich in my tanks going on three years now, usually just comes and goes a little but right now its BAD.

I stopped with QTing fish with ich about 1.5 years ago after realizing the only time I had ever had a fish die with ich was in QT. Every other fish I had ever owned who got ich would fight it off and then rarely ever get it again.

I had QT'd all my fish in hypo for 6 weeks, fallow tank and all but they still got ich a few weeks after being introduced to the display. Nothing new was added. So I tried again for 8 weeks at 1.008. My two favorite fish did not make it and once again, they all got ich again anyways. I refuse to use copper on tangs as it can really harm their digestive fauna.

So...until adding the Powder Brown, I hadn't seen ich for a while. Things were going well. He got the usual "new to the tank outbreak" which came and went. Things seemed great. But now a few days ago there was a huge outbreak. Most all the fish are infected. So far none are flashing or breathing heavily. They are all still eating and acting normal so for now I will leave them as is.

I am feeding even more than usual...lots of prawns, clams, mussels, ect. soaked in garlic and Tropic Marin vitamins.

Hopefully they will pull through. If all goes well, then no more fish in this tank. Can't take a risk of having this happen again :(

wonderful tank! Love the tangs and others. What type of foxface is that?

Coral Rabbitfish or I have heard them called Blue Spotted Rabbit.

He is a great fish.
 
Thank you! That kinda looks like the two barred foxface which i have but when you get a closer those dots come out and u can tell the difference i have never seen one of them before though

Yes does kind of look similar. This guy changes color all day long and sometimes he gets 3-4 different patterns within a minute as he swims in and out of the rocks. I kind of like his "camo" coloration :)

I will have to try to get a good pic of that one day.

I snapped that last picture of him when he was bright yellow and his blue spots really show up well. He tends to do this a few times a day. Most of the time he is a little less bright but still quite yellow.
 
Wow thats really cool! Mine tends to do that when he gets ****ed off and scared but not at random! Yea if you can get a picture that would be awesome!

Yeah I am going to try. He doesn't do it all the time but I do see it now and then.

He does get really dark when he gets ****ed off or stressed too.

At night he gets his camo colors and actually looks really possessed. He kind of floats around the tank and is completely unresponsive. LOL. The wavebox just kind of cradles him back and forth.

Im going to try for some pics of him but when I go near the tank he just starts begging for food :rolleyes:
 
Anyone able to recommend some good powerful fans for cooling? Looking for small, quiet and powerful...not too much to ask for huh?

:D
 
WOW, I love it! The 2 lumenbrights work really well with your aquascape. Now if your tank is 200g are you using less than the recommended amount of zeo rocks? What about the other zeo supps?
