Many times have I looked at this tank and thought. It should be in my home
It is fabulous because of the kind of fish he has. Anthias.
They are glorious in there colors and his mixture of color combinations in his tank are superb.
Fantastic Tank and my very favorite of all of the tanks I have seen on RC,
congrats Tom, well earned.
You should have a blue ribbon from RC stuck to the front!

Congrats on TOTM!! What a beautiful tank. I too love the softies and LPS. I think the way they sway in the flow is beautiful. Great job - an inspiration to all of us softie/LPS lovers.
One question: Is that green star polyp growing up the glass on the right side? I love it whatever it is. Looks like long lush grass.

Great to see a large softie tank! And a great one at that.
Tom, you said most people would be surprised by how much you feed. Any chance of posting a pic that would show about how much that is? Obviously, each tank is unique, but I'm planning a large softie tank as well, and being new to the hobby I would like to see what you do, just to add it into my "experience register".

Re: Pseudanthias bimaculatus
I've never had any problems by adding more anthias. I think the trick is to have a large enough space and to add enough fish to displace aggression. Bimacs are larger and the only problem I had was with the male Bimac going after a male squareblock.

Congratulations on tank of the Month Tom I really enjoyed reading about you assortment Of Anthias I am a big fan of them I have a small school of Disbar Anthias. Is it posible to add some Pseudanthias bimaculatus to a Tank with the Disbar's in there or would the bimaculatus be to aggresive?
Thanks for any advice and great Tank Tom....

I don't use strainers on the overflows and occassionally I do find a fish in the sump. I've used this type of overflow for years without too much trouble. The bulkheads are right in the back of the tank and I just use a 90 degree elbow. Only downfall is since the water flows to the basement (about 10 feet) I do get a bit of noise from that...but very minimal. I did alot of planning for this tank and it has been very problem free since the beginning.
