great tank, any pics of the refugium?

 

[koon7]

i will post a pic of the refugium this weekend. ordered some mangrove's to complete it, finally. The sailfin in the pic turned black when the cleaner wrasse was working.

Very nice, I love the sailfin tang by the way. They have always been one of my favorites.

Nice pics...The fish almost look like they are on the outside of the tank

 

[koon7]

yes i have the amphibious fish, just kidding. that would be a cool thing if they were.

Wow that's huge. How does water changes go for u?

 

[jackri]

I soooo want a big tank

 

[xeniaman]

nice natural looking tank, keep up the good work

 

[koon7]

Well water changes are rather fun, i couldnt tell you how many instant ocean buckets ive been through. Usually 90 gallons a month. And the one bad thing about the size is evaporation. it seems like my smaller tanks never lost water, but this one is a different story.

 

[teresaq]

Very nice. Your pictures are great.

heres a refugium pic, the tank is divided in half, its a 150gallon tank with mangroves, live rock, and sand.

Amazing tank!!

just took a night pic and thought this one was really cool looking, this sponge grows right in the center of my tank.
