wow, he got massive. You need to take him off the 'roids' and high protein diet you have him.  . Your tank looks sweet. I like that little arch with zoo's, encrusting monti, and shrooms. By the way, the frogspawn looks lovely as well. I cant wait till friday to have a slice of your beauty in my tank. I know you have full tang shots but any full tanks shots?

| Awesome setups.....so do you have to move your fridge and dishwasher outside to fit your 200gal cube in the kitchen? I have mine on my breakfast table as i dont have a stand. It makes it so nice to wake up and have breakfast and check on everything...although breakfast's tend to last till lunchtime I stare at it so long. |

well... haha. I dont have a table. i have a tank. I also have a 40 breeder sitting on my counter housing 7 clowns, a firefish, an orangeshoulder tang, and a mccoskers wrasse :) they are awaiting a new home. I'm eventually adding the orangeshoulder to the big tank once i have all my tangs i want as he is a brat. The 40 will be eventually plumbed into the big tank, and will be a clown breeding facility *i hope* we are going to section it off for the clowns. I pretty much live in a giant fish tank ! and needless to say i havent had the heat on since setting up this big tank. the 400 w halides are heating my duplex quite well. Mornings are quite hectic feeding all the animals lol. two dogs, two ferrets and a bunch of fish ------------- I <3 Boxers Achilles tang lover |
