Rebirth of an old 300 gallon

[khaosinc]

how about some better teasers... I really need to clean the tank today..

sailfins getting along. Next time you think about that cute little sailfin, keep in mind what it grows in to... and the CBB in the lower left is eating... hopefully it can do some damage on my spaghetti worm plague

Hippos are just as friendly...

some new corals....

My fungi died a couple days ago almost overnight. not sure why..

PITA fish to catch...

the only real aggression (not surprising) is that the RBTA settled on a spot about 6" from the fire clowns nem... Maroon pair VS fire clown... its still a draw.

don't ask me why I put Damsels in my tank...

Mangroves coming along...

and roots..

Cool vid, Can't wait to get my 470 + gallon tank up and running

Thanks!

it is built to be free standing. I'm still not completly happy with it, the whole thing may yet be redone... just a little spray foam to keep it in place



found it at home depot, Its filling cracks rather than polishing them out. It works ok on tanks, for the 5 mins it takes, but deep scratches will still be noticable. Though reduced


Have not tried it inside a tank yet. It was only like $5

I'll see if we have it at my home depot, all other acrylic scratch removers I've seen are expensive. Let me know if you try it on the inside )

Thanks!

Just going by the smell, I don't think I would try it inside a tank you would use. This is filling cracks rather than polishing them out by removing material.

Sailfin

How big is the biggest sailfin that is in that video?
Judging by the size of the tank it must be huge !!

 

[Xtremedave67]

Ive seen That Sailfin, he's a big one LOL and He knows I LOVE that fish. LOL. Sailfins have some incredibly animated fins so fun to watch...I cannot wait till the day I can have one as well as a couple other Tangs.

 

[khaosinc]

Sailfin is about 10" maybe more...

 

[Naso Slayer]

How thick do you think he is ? Thats crazy he looks small in that huge tank LOL

 

[khaosinc]

Depends on how much of his daily nori sheet he's eaten... well over 1"

If you are ever up this way, you are welcome to bring a tape measure.

 

[khaosinc]

easier size reference those powerheads are the mag 8s that everyone complains are too big, and the younger sailfin is 3-4"

 

[khaosinc]

Suppose I should post some pics at least.... keep this thread going...

the hardest part of my tank... taking a pic WITHOUT getting the Sailfin in it... LOL

the veiw walking int o the fish room...

call the tang police... 8 tangs in one tank

Zoa farm coming along..

mobile frag plug, and my pet astpasia...

not sure what it is, but it seems happy..

not sure why the Fungi died. Did great for a month, then recessed and died in like 3 days.

 

[khaosinc]

mangroves coming along...

broke this getting it out of the other tank...

Xinia coming along...LOL (does it do anything else?)

Xmas tree wrasse..

Puffer..

Camera shy Angel...

the seeds of my soon to be Angel/Eel reef tank (Corals that grow faster than I suspect they can eat... )

 

[khaosinc]

And Maroon clowns thay aint so tough...LOL

The Female..

her Man..

and the Fire clown that beat the living hell out of the mated pair and chased them out of BOTH nems in the tank (including the one they came with)... He's smaller than the male Maroon clown

 

[Xtremedave67]
