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
