Upgraded my tank and new Anthias

I've been keeping reef tanks for over 3 years and have always wanted Anthias but my tanks were no bigger than 55 gal. I got an Oceanic 105 cheap from a friend so now I have enough room for them. I got the tank, sump, and protein skimmer for $250! He really hooked me up!

Lookin good. Anthias are a beautiful fish and very graceful to watch.


Thanks! We are enjoying them a lot. All are eating well and adding them to the tank has brought out the other fish.

Thanks! I'm using a Koriala 4 and the sump has a Magdrive 7. Sump gph is around 500.

so you only have 1700 gph in the tank and you have those corals? i thought you needed more but that is the gph in my tank also and i only have soft corals. so im guessing now that i dont need to upgrade?

The corals I have are Kenya Tree, shrooms, zoos and star polyps. I've had them for over a year in the 55 with less gph and they all have grown and multiplied great. I started with one small rock of green mushrooms and a 1/4 inch piece of Kenya and now I have hundreds of shrooms and large groups of Kenya Trees. The zoos and stars have grown slower but have more than doubled.
The flow I have now is enough to sway the corals but not blow them around. For your 110 tank maybe get two Koriala 3 powerheads instead of one 4.
