elbowdeep88 January 22, 2015 Share January 22, 2015 Stunning tank. Cool videos. How are you doing with the 30" height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipg January 22, 2015 Author Share January 22, 2015 Stunning tank. Cool videos. How are you doing with the 30" height? Thanks. Its challenging when I have to grab something from the back of the tank. I knew it was going to be challenging when we were planning but I needed the additional water volume and I couldn't go wide or long based on the location of the tank so tall it was . I attached all my corals (mainly LPS which I would never remove) on the back side before I had the cabinet built so I had plenty of room to move around.

dipg February 21, 2015 Author Share February 21, 2015 For the first time in 2 years I see my Bangaii Cardinal babies. In the past I have seen the male holding them in his mouth but then there would be nothing next day. Pretty excited about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dipg February 22, 2015 Author Share February 22, 2015 congrats dip - that's awesome bud! Thanks Marco! Very cool! How big are they? How many are there? Are any of your other fish bugging them? I think they are around 1/4". I have 9 of them...and no fish seem to bother them while they were in the tank. I have now moved 8 of them to a separate acclimation box and there is one still hanging out in the back of the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PK3 March 2, 2015 Share March 2, 2015 BTW, Dip, I'm fairly confident we are neighbors, I'm in "The Lofts" across from "The Lotus." I remember you being right around there. That whole area is becoming super nice. I used to live in a condo right across the street from the new Halstead buildings and moved out right before all the new restaurants and retail shops popped up. I kind of wish I still lived there. Dip, love the tank. Do you remember what kind of sand you used? It appears to be a larger grain sand or even a crushed coral? I have a very fine sand and wished I went with something a little bigger like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dipg January 16, 2016 Author Share January 16, 2016 Looks like I only update this thread once every six month so here is a half yearly picture update. Everything is doing good. I added 5 new fish since my last update which I got from ORA at MACNA. All the original fish and the new fish are doing great. My bangaii cardinals, clowns and dottybacks seem to be always laying eggs. For some reason my female Hawaiian flame wrasse turned male too so now I have two beautiful male hawaiian flame wrasses. Corals are growing and I only realized how much they have grown when I saw the FTS from a year ago and compared it with one I took 2 weeks ago. Some corals growing are faster than others but I can't complain. I have finally run out of space to put any new pieces which I didn't think would happen so fast. Especially since I did a huge upgrade by going from 36g to 200g. Here is the FTS from two weeks ago Side shot My 4yr old clowns Here are some macro shots Some of my acanthophyllias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
