    My 280 Gallon Build!

    Hey, Sorry it has taken so long to update this... I have been battling Micro-bubbles ever since I started the tank... I just got done redo'ing the plumbing for the 6th(!!) time... So it better be fixed cause I can't stand all these stupid micro bubbles! I just have to wait for the silicon to dry...

    My 280 Gallon Build!

    Well the fish list is still being debated... Here are some things: - Sohal Tang - Male Blone Naso Tang (possibly a pair, but most likely just a lone male) - Gem Tang or Black Tang (going to try my hardest to get a Gem!) - Pair of Crosshatch triggers - Imperator Angelfish - Pair of Potters Angels...

    My 280 Gallon Build!

    So I decided to do the plumbing even though I don't have my skimmer yet.. I figured out I will be able to get the skimmer in the sump even with everything glued together. But I got some updated pictures!! Here is the tank with the PVC work done. We will be stacking rock like the PVC is now...

    Thanks Man!! Ya, everything is coming together... I got all my pumps and sand and all but my skimmer wont be here till tuesday or wed... And I cant start my building until I get it because I have to "shimy" it all under the tank prior to doing the plumbing... But I got all my live rock planned...

    Thanks! The lighting will be 4 4' VHO's. Since were not going to do any coral were not to worried about the lighting... PS: krish75, do you live in the Bahamas? I am down there every summer for a marine biology study! Thanks Erik

    My 280 Gallon Build!

    It is going to be a FOWLR. We figured since we have a 180 reef and a 75 reef, we might as well make this 300 fish only. So we got rid of our old 150 gallon fish only and bought this beauty! Future inhabitants can include (we are still trying to figure out exactly which ones we want.. but it...

    My 280 Gallon Build!

    LoL. Its not against the wall yet because I pulled it out to do the plumbing. When pushed back it fits perfectly on the wall with a few inches from the door trim on the left side and about 6 inches from the wall and patio door on the right side! Its a perfect fit! Thanks Erik

    My 280 Gallon Build!

    Hey. Yesterday we finally moved our new 280 gallon tank. The tank is made out of acrylic. The Stand and Canopy are made out of Oak but were painted black. The tank is 84" long, 25" wide, 31" tall. Two overflows. One on each side of the tank, but they arent your typical overflows. Just little...

    Anyone here keep or breed reptiles?

    Ya, they are kinda pricey animals... I bought the Ambilobe male for $550 as a baby! But his colors are amazing! But they are great investment animals too. In the past I have sold fertile eggs for $20-$30 each (depending on quantity purchased) and hatchlings for $150+ each! Mine are all pets...

    Anyone here keep or breed reptiles?

    The pair is $700 and the males are $400 each without cages. The males can be sold by themselves, the female must go with a male (I would prefer her to go with her mate, but she could be sold with the other ambanja male. If sold with the ambilobe male the babies would be hybrids.. They would just...

    Anyone here keep or breed reptiles?

    They aren't the easiest reptile to keep but they certainly aren't the hardest either (I used to work at the Denver Zoo and had alot harder species and I used to breed dart frogs, so these are nothing!).. They eat crickets, meal worms, wax worms, silk worms... Not picky about food at all.. The...

I also used to live in Tampa Florida! Also an amazing place! Just a short flight away from awesome scuba diving...
