Summer cleaning in wrasse land.

[bradleyj]

I would post this in another forum, but this is where I usually hang out.
I've had a few days off and decided to tear into my tank and do some much need pruning and cleaning. I opened back up the middle area for more room for my guys and gals to swim about. I must of taken out a 5 g bucket of old dead acros and snail shells and such. I like the more open look now.
Just if you are going to ask, 20-25 wrasses, 7 angels, and others.

I think it looks great? Can you do a before and after from the same camera angle?

 

[huskerreef]

looks great, as you know I am as big as of a wrasse fan as you so I always enjoy seeing your tank and pics. Just a teaser but be on the look out for a thread from me next week that will amaze my fellow wrasse freaks. I can hardly contain myself but can't let the cat out if the bag quite yet.

Thank you Jim.
I'm a big fan of yours also, and now you have got my imagination going into overdrive.
So I'm going to take a guess.
You built a new tank that is made up of nothing but australian corals. Then you flew over to Australia and picked up a mated pair of anampses femininus wrasses and a harem of Chaoti leopards. :fish1::celeb3:

That is what I would do ..:dance:

Thanks Ryan. I've been watching your thread and your tank is beyond incredible.
If you ever have to come back to SLC for more training. Make sure you get ahold of me.

Great looking tank. I've been contemplating on rescaping my tank. I think u just help me make up my mind

 

[SDguy]

Ah, OK, tanks Brad. I do like the open area in the front now. Great job (not easy with such large corals!).

 

[snorvich]

Well the bad news is I like BOTH before and after. I cannot really say I prefer one over the other. The good news is that BOTH before and after are awesome.

[roktsintst]

[bradleyj]

That is a beautiful tank. I love the mix of corals. Much more interesting than all one type I think. Would love to see a video so I can see the fish move. Thanks for sharing.
