My new 400 G tank

[Crusty Old Shellback]

Thanks. I finally got some pic's of the Majestic and other fish this weekend. I'll post them when I get a chance. I started on the wooden framework this weekend so I can get a pic of that as well.

I'm working on the cabintry now and also rethinking of how I want to do my skimmer. The skimmer pumps are a bit nosiey as they sit on the bottom of a 30G sump and vibrate. That sump sits in it's own cabinet and so the noise is amplified. Looking for something that I can sit the skimmer and pumps on inside the sump to adsorb the vibration but yet won't break down in the SW.

Chevy, that thing is really beautiful

 

[Crusty Old Shellback]

Thanks Paul. That means a lot coming from you. I did notice last night that the Idols streamer is smaller. Guess he got it caught on something and tore off. It still there but just shorter. In the short time it took him to grow it, I'm sure it wil be back in no time. Take care.

Very nice tank / system. I love your fish. can I ask, do you have any form of clean up crew?

 

[Crusty Old Shellback]

Thanks everyone.

My clean up crew consist of 3 extra large brittle stars, like 12" + from end to end on the legs, a bunch of different types of sea urchins that work wonders on the rocks, a bunch of different varaites of snails that both do the sand bed, rocks and acrylic, and a sand dollar that takes care of deep in the sand. There are also a ton of brisstle worms and spaggetti worms along with several different varaites of pods. They seem to do a good job on everything except teh acrylic as I have to clean that about every 3 days.

wow that picture of the naso is awesome!

 

[Crusty Old Shellback]

Thanks .

The Naso is about 12" long plus his streamers. I've had him for 2 years now and Jeff who I got him from had him for about 4, so he's been around about 6 years now.

Thanks for the pic's Dave. Your camera takes better pic's than mine. You'll have to come back over and take some when I get the doors finished and the tank is complete.
