miller September 10, 2006 Share September 10, 2006 Great looking tank! I really like the emporer and want to put one in my new 300. Do you have may acros or clams ? how is he with them if you do? My 300 will be all SPS and clams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbartco September 10, 2006 Share September 10, 2006 No I just need to catch a yellow and send your way No way. You need MORE tangs in that setup. LARGE ones. At least one more blue, and maybe a unicorn as well. At least another Pomamcanthus as well. Is that a siren I hear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatortailale December 19, 2006 Author Share December 19, 2006 I plan to take some new photos tonight of the tank.

What time do you want me to pick you up so I can have a pro take the photos so you can see contents of tank rather than a bad photo. :wink: per gadget advice - use tripod.

dzekunoi December 19, 2006 Share December 19, 2006 So beautiful! Your Emperator does not touch the elegance? Mine elegance got killed fast by an evil Empress named Target :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatortailale December 19, 2006 Author Share December 19, 2006 So beautiful! Your Emperator does not touch the elegance? Nope - most mine ever went after was open brain that I tested during tank move. Went and picked at it right in front of me as I as watching tank. Idol ate the sarco/toad and green finger leathers. So far that I notice, they don't pick on sps or clam.

davelin315 December 20, 2006 Share December 20, 2006 Forget the pictures, I had a chance to stop by Craig's last night and pictures won't do it justice. The sheer number of fish and the colors that they have are enough to obscure the corals in the background. It's a wonderful looking tank and it's amazing the diversity of fish in the tank. Even though there are certainly more colorful fish in the tank, the Atlantic Blue Tang is amazing as is the tiny little hybrid Powder Brown/Gold Rim. There are so many different corals in the tank as well that this picture thread would have to be 100s of pictures long in order to see everything and notice it all. Anyway, super tank, looks awesome!

jamesbuf December 20, 2006 Share December 20, 2006 (edited) Awesome pics. I do have to agree with Chip though, as nice as the pics are, they still don't do the tank justice after seeing it in person. Edited December 20, 2006 by jamesbuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin December 20, 2006 Share December 20, 2006 Does the banner fish bother your SPS? I would like to add some in my tank but worry about them picking apart the SPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak December 20, 2006 Share December 20, 2006 I don't think thats a banner fish but I could be wrong, isn't than a moorish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatortailale December 20, 2006 Author Share December 20, 2006 Size - atlantic tang = almost 8" from mouth to tail - Emp = little shy of 7" mouth to tail. - majestic is 5+" max at least my guess of them Idol - so far does not pick on SPS - that I witness during daily views Idol also eats anything -nori, frozen mysis & brine, pe mysis, flake, pellets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
