Hey Kevin, just a question. Do you miss having a tank at home?

Not at all
I spend so much time with my tanks during the day that I get my fix taken care of :lol:My grandson's face really fell when he saw the empty tank at the house though.
Cheers,
Kevin
Oh I bet!!!!!!!! Have you got it out of the basement yet?

Acropora tortuosa commonly called the Oregon Blue Tort. I traded with Steve Weast in Oregon 5 or 6 years ago. It's on the left in this picture of his tank taken back then. I think it was an 850.

No. I still have to take the 300+ lbs of sand out of it
Are you going to take the thing out whole? It really isn't fit to be a fish tank anymore. Just wondering???

One could still make a smaller tank out of it though, right?

Great tank, thanks for showing us your pictures!
Say, is that a potter's wrasse? How long have you had your wrasse? That's an awesome fish. Just wanted to know as I have a juvenile Potter's, wanted to know/see the mature coloration
I really like seeing your behind the scenes set-up.

Kevin, how is the pair of Pyramid butterflies doing? They look to be doing well. Do they always follow one another around?

Hello,
It's still a juvenile. I've had it only about 4 months. It has changed color slightly over that time. Originally it was light blue and yellow, now it's dark blue and orange.
Regards,
Kevin

They are doing quite well. I had three originally but one didn't make it
They are always together. The largest of the Orange Stripe Anthias gives them a hard time occasionally but they stand up for themselves pretty well. I think it's because they are both planktivores so the Anthias sees them as competition.
Cheers,
Kevin
A little competition is always good, isn't it???? I wish I would have had a pair of those butterflies, but 1 of mine didn't make it, and adding one now would be a risk, don't you think?

Most fish leave them alone. I think it's because of their feeding habits. An aggressive tang would be my biggest concern. I don't get them in that often so I don't know what would happen if you add a second one to a tank with an established one.

Kevin, That tank looks great! Are the corals on the end just "plugging" into the sand? Love the open look. You'll have to post pics occasionally so we can see how it evolves.
Can you post your target parameters? Alk, CA, Mg, temp, etc.
