Scotty & Tammy's 4x4x2 SPS tank

[Scotty freddy]

Scotty try with apogon leptachantus

I was looking at cardinals bibarassa. Yellowstriped Cardinalfish (Ostorhinchus cyanosoma) as a friend had some but I've decided just to stick with what I have at the moment mate

Thanks Scotty

Scott have you tried some chromis? They should shoal in a tank this big and they are quite pretty.

No I haven't buddy, a lot of my mates have them here and wanted to try something different that's why I went down that Anthias path

Yeah chromis are rather common. You could get a large shoal of those tiny little cardinals.

Best keep it as it is and see it grow. How fast do your SPS grow?

Personally,i don't care how fast they grow...all i want to know is what in god's name,scott is doing and they grow so fast
Just kidding!

Tbh buddy i wouldn't replace them soon,either.
You are right,waiting for some time so you can monitor other fish,is a much better plan.
I hope that the problem will be only with the ones you lost.
And i wouldn't be sad to stay with the ones you have now,they are awesome.
Especially the gold rim

That's the plan Fishy growth in this tank has been pretty fast mate, I'm running out of room rather quickly!

I don't do anything out of the ordinary Mike as you know so I really can't explain why things are going so well, my biggest factor if anything would probably be stability TBH

Yea I'm liking the idea of letting the fish I have now grow, it's only been the anthias that I've had no luck with as all the others are extremely healthy. They are probably a little to healthy as they get spoilt too :lol spin:

 

[glaukos]

I know buddy and i hope things will continue going so well for many many more years
One of the best reefs for sure!
Hey,do you ever think of upgrading?Corals are getting big in there scott

Lol about the spoilt fish!
Now that you mentioned it,my anthias has started epic battles too
But i have no males so they are probably,trying to find who will be the "playboy"(or maybe i'm wrong and they are just killing time )

Thanks buddy so do I one day yes we will upgrade mate we've already talked about size which would be a 7x4x2 peninsula. That's a long way off yet so for now I'm happy just to let it grow into an SPS jungle :lol:

I had a lot of bickering with the anthias mate even though they weren't all the same species but I also had males as well and they were the worst bullies. Sounds like to me that one your anthias is trying to assert it's dominance and then turn male

Scott a 7x4x2 is a beast of a tank and would make this one look small!!

Yes it would Fishy :lolspin: we could go bigger but decided this would be a good size without being too imposing on the part of the house it's in. That won't be for a while yet anyways

No I don't think a tank that size would be imposing Scott. You might have to don the bathers and jump in to do maintainence:lolspin:
