Mata Tang Copperband Butterfly Diamond Sleeper Goby Yellow Tang

I got some new fish over the break. Manadarin Dragonet (can't get a picture yet since he won't come out of the caves), Copperband Butterfly, Diamond Sleeper Goby, Chromis, and my new prize, a Mata Tang! Pictures coming soon.

I never see the Thompson Tang in a store and rarely online. A local store had him and I had to get him.

Here's some of my little friends... Thompson's Tang, Black & White Clown Desjardini Sailfin Tang Vlamingi Tang with his buddies the Yellow Tang and Hippo Tang

Here's some pictures from behind the scenes.

The 220 is 6 inches deeper and about 3-4 inches taller. Trying to stay away from crazy, but the upgrade was interesting. Had to empty the entire tank out, get it out from the back, and then squeeze the new one in there. It barely fit past the shelves and water heater.

Here's some pics with the full Metal Halides on (2 -150 watt 20K, 3 - 250 watt 10K).

Here are some of the latest pictures. I need to take some pictures tomorrow of the back area with the new sump setup. These pictures are with just the 2 - 150 watt 20K metal halides on.

Hey all, long time no post. A couple of years ago I moved from Phoenix to Michigan and moved my 150 gallon reef tank and then built it in the wall in the new house. Last year, due to damage to the tank, I was "forced" to upgrade to a 220. I also added a sump/refugium/frag tank instead of the...

Here are some updated pics. I added a Rose Bubble tip anemone, a Blue Spotted Jawfish, Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse and a Dragon Goby. I couldn't get good pictures of the fish, but I took a close up of the anemone. I also just ordered (from another site) a Dussimer Tang, Blue Eyed Kole Tang...

One of the best aspects of this setup is that I can work on the tank and make a mess with the water and don't have to worry about getting the carpet wet. There is even a drain in the floor about 6 feet from the back of the tank and the floor slopes toward the drain so no spill needs to be...

Here are some views from the back. Still a little work to do back there like run a set of dedicated electrical outlets and put in a sink, but at least it is now organized.
