Dude, your tank is looking awesome!!! And the Anthias are looking like survivors.

 

[poknsnok]

Thanks Mike.. Im very very happy with the colors... That was one lucky fish

 

[poknsnok]

I put together a fish list for the 240.. at the monent I have
4-chromis
2- perc clowns
6- fasciatus anthias
1 kole tang. .. none of the fish more than 5". I want ...

3-ignitus anthias
6 additional chromis
3 yellow coris wrasse
1 or 2 fairy wrasses
2 gobies of some sort
and the kicker, a naso tang. adds up to 29 fish in my 240 only the naso being a large fish. Now this is primarily an sps tank with berlin type filtration. no fuge, lots of flow, a ssb and a deltec 701 skimmer.. I really want the naso for nuisance algae control. what does everyone think?

the tank is looking great Joe,do you have any topdown shots yet?how is the efflo doing?

 

[poknsnok]

Efflo looks great.. under the 400 watt its a turquoise and purple rim with green polyps. I havent taken any top downs yet but I will and stick them up..

good luck with the new build. Your builds are always cool to follow

The ignitus anthias look cool. Have you seen any local?

 

[poknsnok]

I havent... LA always has them. that would be the way I go I guess..

 

[poknsnok]

a few really bad top down shots.. 400 watt lights are hot!!

 

[daywn]

[poknsnok]

[paulthomas]

Tank is looking good Joe...glad to see the tank is coming along! May i ask where u picked up an Efflo...been looking for a long time!

Have u thought about replacing your white pvc dursos with clear pvc?

 

[poknsnok]

thanks Ben.. got the efflo from a fellow reefer getting out of the hobby. I hadnt even thought of clear pvc. id be concerned of buildup inside it

 

[tgcreef]

omg.... that efflo is absolutley amazing great score

 

[poknsnok]

Thanks on the efflo. it was one of 2 we got.. ill try to score a pic of the other one... I may move it down a bit. right now its about 8" below the surface under 400 watt aquaconnects

 

[mflamb]

Hmmmm...he's moving the efflo...don't drop it...don't break it...hmmmm....

 

[CMcNeil]
