Troy's 270 Gallon plus Fishroom

[troyholl]

+1 on the lineatus. Another georgeous wrasse is a Labout's (expensive but then again so was the lineatus) - just got one from Diver's Den. Also love the Blond Naso.

Isn't 7 tangs alot for this tank though?

I've seen far more tangs in smaller tanks, but I'm done adding regardless. Great question though. I'd like input on if seven is too many or not from those reading is post!!!

Funny thing about the wrasse. The store I got the Lineatus from had a Labouts at the same time and I almost got both!!

Re: having 7 tangs; What's the dimensions on the tank?

I have a 215 gal tank.....with a Regal, 2 yellow tangs, sailfin tang, a powder brown and an achilles tang... 6 tangs in total. I had the powder brown for about 5 years and then added the achilles last year, (had him about 13 months)......the powder had always been a little aggressive but only recently decided he didn't like sharing the tank with the achilles. The powder brown harassed the achilles to death. I removed the powder....a day later (a day too late) and now have just the 4 tangs.

How's that Hydnophora doing for you? Brightest green in your whole tank? :thumbsup:

That and the nuclear green candy canes are the brightest green corals I have ... oh and maybe the Bali green slimer... :rollface:

Hope all is well for you buddy!

So far so good!! I think I found a great spot for it!! The other frags are also doing great.

My Anemone dropped another baby yesterday keeping up the streak of one every other week!

Have a small ich outbreak that I'm fighting....

Otherwise all is great!

Fish Room Improvements

Fish Room Improvements

Well... I've been making updates to the occupants of the DT recently, but I got some motivation to make some fish room improvements the past few days!

I had planned on putting up some pegboard to hang tools and such on, but I decided to go a bit higher-end and I install some Sears Gladiator wallboards. An area over the sink, an area in my 'frag' work area, and some over the water tanks. Here are the results! Really cleans the room up. I also spent a day last week rewiring to clean up all my Apex area...

Some pics...

That looks awesome! Nice clean productive fish room! :wave:

 

[bpcardona]

The room looks very nice

The room looks very nice

Thanks!! I have it setup pretty nice now. Not sure what else I would change at this point although I don't much care for my QT tank.
