A few pics of my newest buddy.We call him MR. PIG! He is a freakin eating machine.


That's AWESOME! We just added a Naso (I am pretty sure that's what Tang you have) a couple of weeks back, and in addition to flake, shrimp etc., he helps the lawnmower blenny in munching algae! It's GREAT!

The Hawkins is coloring up very nicely,I like it a lot.The tang is like a fat kid going after a chocolate bar when i drop some food in there lol.

Yes sir it is a Naso and hes coloring up nicely,it weird how he changes colors like a mood ring.He will go from black to gray in seconds.Part of the reason i got him was because my over fed lazy lawnmower blenny stopped doing his job along time ago and the second reason is because its a beautiful fish.
I fear my 125 isnt going to be big enough for him in a year or to so im all raeady making plans for next tank.Im thinking a inwall 210 or bigger for next year,I found it very relaxing for me to build setups,and ive learned a lot over the last 2 builds.

I totally understand. I had to get a bigger tank just so we could get one! It will be a little while before I upgrade again! LOL Our Naso doesn't change a whole lot, but he does change, and he is super social. Every time we go up to the tank he will hover in front of your face like "Look at me, look at me" By far the coolest fish we own! We also have a lawnmower blenny and his belly is getting FAT. He & the Tang do nothing but eat algae and my tang actually eats the flake food as well, but the blenny usually stays with the algae, not a big fan of the flake!

hey bud, can you get some shots of the 8 switched board you used? how does that hook up, do you wire it right in or is it just plugged into an outlet?

how do you like them so far? any complaints?
I have no complaints at all.I would recommend that you use them,if for no other reason than they look cool.Its so nice not to have to trace cords back to find out what im trying to shut off,it makes it so much easier to just open stand door and just flip a switch.They are surprisingly cheap too.I think they where $29 minus shipping but you could probably get them at most music shops like Guitar Center or somewhere like that.

If you notice in the pic i have a green power strip plugged into one of the out lets.I have 3 - 250w MH ballast plugged ito one socket,i did this because of the space my timers take up.I think this shows that they can handle the wattage.

i was either going to do those or just get some gfi outlets and hook them to switches...i'd rather have all my switches in the same place...and being a 12 foot tank i think i'll have cords on both sides, which means these switch centers wouldnt have a long enough plugs to have them in the same spot.

I have both power centers running off a commercial construction grade gfi whip running off one wall outlet and the power strips are fused and have a built in gfi.

They are pretty handy and required in my trade.My superintendent was kind enough to leave a extra one laying around for me.
