Tigahboy,

I bet that island costs almost as much as my trip to Hawaii...:eek2: Looks great though

 

[MinibowMatt]

Lookin good!

Tigahboy, your tank is completely awesome! I LOVE your acan collection!

 

[mmd]

[Jovreefer]

The inhabitants of acan isle look pretty hungry... any canibals on that isle?

Looks awsome too!!!!!

 

[blacksh33p]

where'd you get all those acan lords

 

[NeilsReef]

Very nice LPS tank!

You have a very clean looking set up, I especially like your "blasto cove".

Thanks, guys! I've been collecting the LPS for awhile now, so they come from all over the place. I even put my very very first acan lord frag into this tank (it's not much of a looker, but it has sentimental value. haha).

I'll post some more pics later today after I transfer more of my LPS over.

Still debating whether to add more LR as well. Looks quasi-empty. But I kind of like the open look as well.

 

[Tigahboy]

And I haven't thought about what type of fish or shrimp to add. Any suggestions?

tigahboy, when you upgrade to MH will you have an open top? That would definitely affect my choice of fish. I'm thinking with that amazing collection of corals, a helfrichi (Sp?) firefish would complement very nicely. I wouldn't do a firefish with an open top, though. Also, I can't tell you how much enjoyment I received from my sexy anemone shrimp. I only had one in my 55, but I had plans of a group and they are such cool little guys. Ever had one? VERY cool tank.

Sweet.

Probably going to do open top...but otherwise the helfrichi would be a nice addition. =)

I had a couple sexy shrimp in my nc6 before. You can see pics of them here: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=563410&perpage=&pagenumber=1

I liked them, but one of them started to pick away at one of my acan polyps....it only happened once, but that still makes me a little sexy shrimp-adverse. hehe.

Thanks for the suggestions. keep em comin!
