My original tank was a 60 gallon with a fluval & eheim filter.


This tank is 135 Gallon Reef Ready, with 35 Gallon Sump
Snapper Pump (2700 GPH)

Lighting is

8 x 54w T5
4x blue, and 4x white.

New Tank is much better. Everyone survived the move too :)

here are a few pics.

For corals, were not too sure yet. i like softes so probably them. Id like a fox coral soon, and maybe a brain.

Next on order is a Male Blonde Naso, and a couple Cleaner shrimps, on order from Hidden Reef.

I still need a protein skimmer as the one i had **** the bed.

Other than that, i'm just gonna play it by ear, and if i see something i like, then i will get it.

The males have streamers off their tales. They also have a longer face than the females, aswell, slightly darker in color

Nice tank!
Thanx

What are all the spots all over that Naso? Is he ok?
Scratch marks. He was in a pretty small tank and stressed out.
My Cleaner shrimp took to hiim instantly. he is doing great now. swimmin and gettin cleaned constantly. eating too. i think he will be just fine.

Bad News. Spotty didnt make it.

I came home last night and looked in my tank and he was Upside down. in some rocks. i moved the rock and grabbed him and he was still alive.

when i let him swim, he could not swim straight, he kept going in circles, and upside down, and eventually would fall to the sand and stay on his side. I feel so bad for the little guy.


now to see if i can get him replaced from the LFS, which shouldnt be a problem.

Ah gee...I was hoping mine would develop those streamers as "He" got older. Maybe not. Might need a new name too.

not too sure.. he wasnt in great condition when we picked him up. we figured he might take well to our tank, and he did at first, there were no problems or hassels from any of the other fish. but i guess he was too far gone and went belly up. litteraly.

it sucks because he was a gorgeous fish, minus the scratches.
