[gunnwong]

where do you get the snowflake clown? I love to have one of those fish. Is it rare or some thing like onyx clown? and how much you pay for those fish?
thank you

They are about the most expensive clowns you can get. Liveaquaria.com has a pair for $499.

FYI, you have to go to a meeting to actually join.

I dont know what else to say except........ WOW

What an amazing tank and a very informative thread!! I have just finished reading it over a few days while being at work and have learnt a lot.

Down here in Australia we do not have any BIG tanks like this. My partner and I would like to have a BIG tank one day. We are currently setting up a 500g system and would like to base it on this tank. We currently came across some stingrays at the LFS, that would be great to have but from what I have learnt, is they need a lot of space.

Anyways, great tank and I look forward to updates!

We have plenty of BIG tanks here mate, you just haven't seen them.

There's a guy in Cottesloe, who dives in his tank.
Its in the centre of his house, he has viewing panels from most rooms.
Granted its not a reef, but it's BIG.

There are also plenty 2-5000l tanks around.

 

[kahurunitahi]

Yeh? Wow that must be huge... well apologies for my mistake! I guess there would be many of them around but they are just not known about.

 

[reefez]

Many around. But not all as nice as this one. Very well planned and cared for.

reefez, I was referring to the issue of the presence of large tanks in Australia.

 

[massman]

Double post sorry.

I read it somewhere, that Energy had some time to get adjusted to this new system and he had some ideas for things he would do differently. I would love to hear the words of wisdom.

I'm starting to build my 4th tank and with each you learn so much!

 

[Laverna]

After viewing the pics of this tank and much consideration...... I have decided to trade my husband in for one that will build me a replica of this one!!!

So, up for grabs/WTT..... one 40 year old plumber for one reef crazy gentleman (no age limit as long as I get that tank!) LOL

Joking aside ~ great system and hats off to the owners!

Energy, truly amazing setup. Are there any updated pics of your beautiful tank (or better yet a hi-res video)?

Hi!
Energy, very beautifull tank.
Please, I've probably missed the point, but - water changes how often you do them weekly, byweekly or monthly?
And another one - You love wrasses, why you does not have harlequin tuskfish? I have it, and it is a very lovely and colourfull fish.
Kind Regards,

i think he does monthly 10% water changes. i thought the harlequin tuskfish is agressive? wont they go after the fish and inverts? they are a beautiful fish. what do they eat?
