Awesome shots as usual, glad to see you finally cleaned the tank on the ends. I see you got the convict to sit still long enough to get a clear picture, i think i might steal him...

I need a new camera your pics come out so awesome.
 
Looks good, it's amazing where a lot of cheap labor will get you!

Copperband and Convict look happy, though. Still probably lost in all that water!
 
yeah they have adapted well. The coppeband is so funny he stands up to everyone and gets right and middle of everyone eating. Already loves to be hand feed. He has the same personality as my old one. I am so happy you moved now!!!
The convict is just ridiculous I can't believe these fish arent more popular. His cleaning ablilites beat any fish I have been around and has amazing colors to fit that awesome personality of his.
 
Tank looks great. I am sure there is loads of activity in your tank with all those tangs. Nice convict, any reason why you didn't get more than one?
 
i would love to have more. Tangers from this board moved back to Iowa, so he came from his tank. That was the only reason I got him. I havent been to a fish store in I dont know how long. If I move here soon I will be upgrading tanks and want a trio of them thats for sure.
 
Hey Thor, I started a 450g exactly like yours in October, and just came acrossed your thread....sweet stuff. I also have the Reeflo 250...didn't mod it with the longer neck and collection cup yet though. Did you add the upgraded needle wheel also? It looks like you used a different pipe (or cut the stock pipe) from your skimmer return just below the neck...or did you use the super short pipe for the first riser? I am still trying to dial in my skimmer, but with only 5 tangs in my tank I think I am getting just about everything out I can. Thanks for the info!
 
Great shots and beautiful fish. My convict tang is about the same size as yours. Does your convict also grows less fast then other Acanthurus?

Hey Pike no not running the needle wheel just yet. I will be upgrading at some point. The drain is cut shorter for better performance, per Mike from reefspecialty. Mine works awesome and never has to be adjusted.
Thanks leonardo for the comments. No thats what is great about the convicts they dont explode with growth. Dont they have awesome personailites though?

thanks again
