My 150 Gallon Mixed Reef

[akopley]

The tank was built to fit between the columns that separate my living room and my kitchen. It has taken awhile to get both sides to my satisfaction. It's almost like having two tanks, which makes the price of stocking it that much more invasive on my bank account. Anyway onto the details.

Very nice. Lots of movement. Does the parrotfish ever damage any coral?

Actually, three tangs in a.........

Kidding - what an amazing tank! What's the secret on the Achilles? Haven't heard many success stories with those. How long have you had it?

That Parrotfish rules. Thanks for sharing!

Just curious, what is that long, tall black box up against the column?
