New Video of the reef under 20K XMx and Phoenix 14Ks

[sonofgaladriel]

I've added a few new corals, moved some around and changed bulbs. Here's a video since I can't get good 'full tank' pics. Not the best video quality.

Very nice!

 

[sonofgaladriel]

Thanks! I wish the video was clearer.

Gosh how many coral/ frags do you have in that tank... awesome...

 

[sonofgaladriel]

Not sure, but I am sure I can find room for at least a few more
Its all in the orientation of the frag/coral and of course the 3 dimentional rockscaping

Awesome setup!:eek2:

If you don't mind me asking, about how much do you have in that tank?

 

[Genin]

that black ocellaris and your rbtas are beautiful.

 

[dougie]

awesome tank, looks beautiful!
How dose the emporer+ majestic angels go with all that coral?

Cheers.

I may be wrong, but it looks like your front glass is bowing. You have a beautiful tank and I would hate to see something bad happen.

Thanks guys. The angels are all doing well. So far, I have not seen then nip at any stonie or LPS. They have nipped at some of my zoanthids, but I wanted those gone anyway.
The Imperator has been moved out for a nicer Asfur angel. I have since moved out all the tangs and replaced them with a Red Sea Regal and small yellow hybrid angel. My tank is about 80% angels now!
143gadgets- Yep, 3 sides of the tank are bowing. Even at 1" thick, the top 5" bows about 1/4". It is a little more deflection than I calculated, but I'd rather have this deflection than a top brace. The corners are all intact and appear very strong, so I'm not worried.
Thanks again for all the compliments.

I'm curious to know how you catch fish in this system when removing them.

Awesome tank!

I have an acrylic fish trap that works like a charm every time. I feed the fish from the same corner of the tank every time so they are conditioned to that spot for food.
I simply add some flake or mysis to the inside of the trap, lower it into the water and the fish swim right in to feed. I turn a knob on the top that closes a swivel door and badabing, I've caught the fish.
