You beat me to it jwed.
NICE TANK!!!!
That clown trigger doesn't bother any corals or inverts? It looks cool in a reef.

Hi,

Thanks for the nice comments. Its setup as a semi room divider with 3 sides viewable. So far the angels and trigger are model citizens.

You have a really great looking tank. I love the aquascaping. Oh yeah your pics are awesome! How long have you had the trigger and how big is he?

 

[rsteagall]

I'm in awe. Not fair! Not fair at all!!!!! Did it go to obedience school?

simply gorgeous!!!
For how long do you run this tank?
Please can you specify if you're using artifical traitment for the colors and growth, like Zeolite or Hormons?

beautiful beautiful! The triggerfish if one of my fav as well, it's magnificent to see him surrounded with acros!

The tank has been up and running since september 2006. Its an upgrade from a 80 gallon. I use no zeovit or hormones. The clown trigger is 3 inches long. Im aware of that its a ticking bomb ready to explode without a warning, so it will be moved to a more suitable tank once it gets bigger. This fish is amazing

This is the most amazing tank I have ever seen but what impresses me the most is how well the plumping and current pumps are hidden.

Can you provied some pics of that side of the tank?

Can we see underneath?

What is the name of the Purple coral that is tightly bunched?

Thanks,
Goose

Hi!

I got 2 Tunze Stream pumps on each side of the overflow. The aquarium has been covered so they cant be seen when viewing from the side. You can see them on the second picture.

This coral ? It is an acropora echinata
