Thors 450 Build Thread!!!!!!!

you got an emporer angel now! NIce! I am moving into my girl friends place for a couple months and I am setting up a 40 gallon breeder there. I am bored with the 46 gallon bow front. I only have one fish right now too its just a six line wrasse. Next year when I move to a place more permanent with my girl friend I am building a custom rimless 36"x24"x18" tank and going full blown SPS! Man do I miss Florida. They charge $13 for emerald crabs around here! And I saw a royal gramma for $26 the other day. I remember them for $6 sometimes in orlando.
 
Yeah remember our day trips to keys!!!! "Man I got the wrong size wetsuit!!!!!!!!!" That was halarious! Still can't believe the news I heard from you the other day!
 
ivgonmad- the measurements are 96x36x30

WD- congrats on that!!!! Yes the Emp devours zoo's and I have even witnessed her eat some of my mushrooms. For some reason she doesent touch mushroom that have texture to them. Like for example hairy mushrooms.
 
Great looking tank Thor - and good to put a face to the name :)
Have you still got the Genicanthus in there. I can't see them.
 
Hey thanks Bangkok. Yeah still there. I will have post some more pics. Are fish pretty crazy over there as far as availability?
tangers working on getting some penductors of some kind and then will rework the rocks and plumbing. Cant wait taking vacation time to get my tangs some more current!!!
 
Your water level in the sump looks like it's pretty close to the top. I'm assuming you tested that it doesn't overflow in the event of a power outage.

Just an observation.

Availability has improved a great deal over the past couple of years. We now get pretty much anything that is being collected at the time - conspics, clarions, gem tangs, koi tangs - you name it. Prices are generally 30% cheaper than the US.
 
like those fish a lot too....i know i love my tangs...in my 75...just wish i had room for a tank like that and the money lol...being a student sucks.
 
bangkokmatt-So whens the gem tang coming to your tank!!!
Jd0gg2432- Here in florida we get tested pretty often with power outages. Done many a test to see. It also helps that my sump below is 230 gallons.
Erics3000- thanks the width of the tank helps. The orange shoulder is my baby. The whole reason for this tank!!!
Pauliewalnuts- Yeah I started with a 90 and that didnt last very long with my love of tangs. Then 220 was enough to hold them. So this went up. Maybe something bigger down the road. Once you go tang you never go back!
 
You know whats funny they most passive fish in my tank is my purple and hes a big boy. One of the biggest purples I have every seen. In my 3 yrs + of having him I dont think I have ever even seen him chase a fish. I guess it helps with the big boys in the tank.
 
my purple isn't that aggressive either. My red sea sailfin would be the first to rip anyone a new one.. and they are supposed to be peaceful.... lol...

BangkokMatt-So when are you going to send us 2 koi tangs? Do you take paypal? lol...
 
HA funny I had a sailfin for about 3 years and when I moved him to my new tank he was in Heaven. He would pick on anything that was in the tank. I bought some cleaner shrimp put them in the tank and he ate them both. He would fly from one side of the tank to the other he loved the 8 feet compared to the 4 I had.It kinda sucked he jumped out of my tank and my dog got him...Reminds me I need to finish the screen covers.

Damm that is a sweet Orange SHoulder..great colors really bright...
 
wow erics thats crazy. A sailfin jumping out pretty crazy stuff! Eating cleaner shrimp that guy was out of control. I checked out your build thread looks great can't wait to see the new fish you orderd in your tank!
