Some of the stock is from my 90g. Still have a 3+year old mandarin, 3,one

Yr. old PJ cardinals, 3, Ora Percs,which have now formed a female, male and it group. And of course my adult copperband.

I sold the Kole tang so I could make new additions at the same time.

Added a baby sailfin tang, baby scopas tang and a juvie Foxface. All have been fine

together. The Foxface has already cleaned up most of the bubble algae.


Eat like a bunch of pigs already but thats fine with me and I have planned my filtration to handle it.

Here they seen me working near the tank and are having a general "where the food" meeting.

I will add some pics soon now that the other lighting is in place. Besides supplement actinics and normal outputs, I,m experimenting with a single 400w Iwasaki. The pendant is fairly high to give it spread and the Iwasaki still has the punch to cover it or at least thats the idea.

Doug! I found it! The tank looks great. I like the PVC tube idea. Just wondering, are clowns more likely to lay eggs on a smoother surface (ie. PVC) than bare rock??


Also how is the aragonite coated bottom faring?

PVC home from my 225g and its Cinnamon clown residents.

It seems fine. Had some red turf algae on the front portions in the 90g, hoping that does not happen here. A little current cleans the detritus fine.

i may have mis read, but you said your tanks was 4' high. I thought u had to have min 3/4" glass for a tank that high??? arent you worried about the glass breaking???

i dont know alot about engineering and glass but i have been contemplating making a tank that high. just curious.

Nice tank!! I bet those PVC tunnels really open it up for swimming room vs. a big pile o' rocks!
Cheers,
Aaron
