Hello everyone.
The setup of this tank has begun at the end of 2014/beginning of 2015 to replace my old 200 gallons tank.
The previous tank was set in 2010 and after 4 years it became too small for the tangs and the coral colonies.
The two ways to follow were: to frag the colonies and to sell some fishes OR…..to start a bigger tank!
So, I got the second way.
The stand:
The glass:
The rock layout:
Almost ready to go:
And the new tank cycling side by side with the older one:
Some info:
And....that's it for now.
Later I'll post some habitants pictures.
