My new 600 gallon reef

[jnarowe]

nice. a little stressed...behind the eye doesn't look good. Give it some serious vitamin soaked nori stat!

DID YOU BUY THOSE OFF OF NYAQUATICS??

I was trying to take a picture with a ruler in front of it, but seems one of the Sailfins jumped in front instead. The fish is a real ham.

 

[Goodwin9]

Nice color

 

[jnarowe]

wild dude.

The second fish is a nice looking Achilles. This is my second attempt in placing one in the tank. First one got chased around so much I had to pull it and put it in another tank. This one will now be one of the larger fish in the tank and I hope that it will be able to hold it's own.

 

[jnarowe]

that is an incredible specimen Chuck. really nice.

Well Jonathan, you'll be happy to know that I have all of the "super poopers" that tank will hold. NO MORE TANGS for this tank! I think that these two tangs just increased the bio load in the tank by 20%, if not more......

 

[jnarowe]

hey, at least they're not a ultra pooping vlamingi! those things have a freakin' contrail behind them. :lol:

 

[stdreb27]

gorgeous.

Not only am I a sucker for tangs, but I have taken a fondness to Anthias and purchsed 3 Sunburst, (Fatheads), (left one) & 3 Anthis Flavoguttatus. (right side). Not sure if I am going to put these in the big tank or the 470?????

I noticed that fish is so big it burst the styrofoam box at all four corners.

They look great. I love the Achilles, which is one tang I've alway wanted.

 

[melev]

The Anthias could go in any of your tanks that don't have predators to eat them (lionfish, octopus...)

I see the Powder Blue tang seem to be chasing after the tail of the Achilles, wonder how long it will take for the Achilles to start chasing after him? After all, the Achilles is twice the size of the Powder Blue. I bought the large Black Tang they were offering and stayed away from the show size one they had for sale. The Achilles was sold to me as a "show size" fish, and I stayed away from the "jumbo" they had available. I wonder what size of boxes those two fish would have come in? I can hardly wait to see the bill for freight......

 

[jnarowe]

the markings on that one are very nice.

 

[Jim_S]

Very nice fish goodwin!!!

The Black Tang is very nice....

But the Achilles is by far the most beautiful of all the Tangs IMO. Yours is no exception!!! Truely a stunning fish.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Jim
