I know, I know, the Naso is going to get to big for the tank! I bought him small for a reason and am going to say what everyone always says... I am planning on putting him in a bigger tank. I am in the process of piecing together stuff for a 125 that will be ready in a couple months. After it is setup he is moving there.

Very nice tank, look at getting a background scenery against the wall. Just a thought. I love the tank, it's very nice.

Looking good BlondeNaso1 !!
Love that clownfish
Canopy looks great
Nice work
( I agree with adding a background - would really set off the tank and add contrast IMO - although it's your tank, and still looks very nice the way it is )

Looks nice. How long have you had your pulsing xenia? Is it doing well? It looks good in the picture, I would love to add one.

I like the canopy. I am getting ready to make one myself. Nice tank also.

look heathy

Thanks everyone. It really means a lot to me to have you guys compliment it like that. The only people who really appreciate the time that goes into a tank are on this board! I had never thought of a background before, but I sounds like a great idea. Thanks for the advice.
Crazy, building the canopy really wasn't that hard. Just go to your LFS and sneak a peak on how they are put together.
Efrank, I have that the xenia for about 3 weeks now. When I first got them they were not doing to good. After a week a moved them and started adding iodine and they started to come around. Now they are happily pulsing their polyps off
Thanks again everyone

Very nice, and I like the canopy....I'm needing hubby to build us one. Where did you get that gulf rock? Great looking rock.

 

[blondenaso1]

I got that LR from Tampa Bay Saltwater. It has more like on it then any other pieve in my tank. Feather dusters, rock anemones, clams, macroalgae, sponges, sea urchin, you name it and it was on the piece of rock!

 

[salty james]

Hey Blonde,
Great looking tank!
I bought my LR from TB SW too... I had a hell of a time with catching that damn mantis shrimp though!
Did you have any in your rock ???

[blondenaso1]

I only got about 15# from them. When I went they hadn't gone out and collected that week so they didn't have that much to choose from. I got lucky though, no mantis shrimp.

 

[salty james]

What LFS do you go to ?
I usually go to Marine Whse over in T & C. I do not like the staff or owner @ exotic aquatics. They are money hungry, and do not take care of their fishies!
Good to meet someone in the same area.
Also do you know anyone selling a 125 or 180 ?
Take Care,
SJ

I've been thinking of ordering from Tampa Bay or Gulf-view but it seems like just about everyone gets a bonus mantis shrimp problem along with their great rock. Glad you didn't get one Blonde

SJ, I go to the University of Florida so I am usually in Gainesville most of the time, but when I am home I go to Exotic Aquatics to looks at their corals. I like the stuff that they have, but have never really bought anything from them nor talked to any of the staff. I have also gone to the place on Tarpon Ave and US 19. It is a pet shop with a SW section. The guy there is pretty nice and they have a decent selection for the size of the place. Other then that I have been looking for other places to go. I heard there are some good ones on Tampa?? Where is the one you go to?
DAB, a mantis shrimp is a small price for the quality of their rock. If I ever ordered online, they would be one of the only places I trusted.
