CCR Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 So just how big was it? I would have to built a house around it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Wow... just wow. It is really cool to see schools of fish in a home reef - I love all the anthias. He had some interesting tang hybrids in there as well. Simply amazing variety of coral too. Makes me feel a little (or rather a lot) inadaquate though!

SULLY Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 After watching his goldflake angel rip up some of the softies, I was waiting for the pretty little booger to go eat his coco worms. What the heck kinda tangs were the funky colored ones? Beautiful set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess there is so much for him to chose from in that tank he doesn't do in any one piece... just keeps things pruned (scary) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Can you imagine the maintenance schedule this tank must have had. Not to mention the moneys just to keep it happy let alone buy more tang mutations. They were pretty baddass though. I would not enjoy that much maintenance. I get lazy with my tank sometimes and its a mere 120. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
