My new 600 gallon reef

[invincible569]

On your video, it looks so beautiful with all of those fish. It makes it look natural. I used to be about as little fish as possible to make my corals super colorful, but im also taking a new approach and getting as many fish as I can to make it look "ALIVE".

When will you install the stop lights and cross-walks for all that fish traffic?

Beautiful tank.... do you have any "build journals" for your other tanks?

yeah I remember that octo tank...totally cool!

Is that orange sponge in the 210 still alive? I see those at the LFS all the time. It's always nice to see someone who is more of an equipment junkie than myself. :lol:

LOL I can't top your equipment & won't even try..you are amazing.

The sponge is still in the tank and to my amazement, doing well. (or at least it hasn't died) I've added a few to the 470 which I should get some pictures taken that have also been doing well. They add a different look to the tank and some much needed color in the case of my tanks. Thank you for your comments!

Yeah I don't know about that...I only have 3 tanks and most of my stuff is ghetto DIY.

These sponges drop dead regularly at the LFS, but that could just be a husbandry issue. Any special care you give it?

Only thing I do is to make sure that they have a good flow passing by them. LFS may be exposing them to air when transfering them.

That video is too freaking cool.

 

[kcw1099]

looks like it is going to be a really nice tank

 

[H2OBUM]

So do you think my 29 gal. could handle that flow lol

 

[drummereef]

Your sailfins are beautiful. Very nice.

Got a few more fish in yesterday. I was finally able to find a nice size Dussimer Tang. This one immediately found the cave which seems to be the place to hang out in the tank.

 

[UnderwaterExotic]

Where did you find your dussumier tang?

 

[Volkman]

Ok, new to the hobbie, and all I can say is WOW!!!!! Holy !@#$#%^%^#&$#@!$%$% WOW!! That set-up is just amazing....... Why don't you get a submarine for better viewing??!! Beautiful tank...

 

[jnarowe]

The Dussimer is sweet. Very nice specimen.

They are a great tang. I have had one in my 470 for about a year now. Probably the friendliest fish in the tank....The new one arrived in his own box weighing in at 32lbs.

Here's a picture of my other one..

Had to get a sand sifter so I went with a Gold Head Gobie. This one is about 4" in length.
