430 Gallon Reef

It sure is! Good luck with the new sump.. post a thread on that swap with pics and send me a PM.. love to see it!

 

Thanks for all the kind words and advice on fish selections!!!

I will keep everyone posted as this tank progresses!!!

 

This tank is ridiculous! I love it. You could literally get inside it and play with the fish. Oh and +1 Achilles that is my favorite fish.

 

It's funny you say that because in between one of the leaks the tank had where we had to take down the whole thing - we did have to get inside of it!!!

This pic is of one of my Co-workers and our tank maintenance guy who helped us repair the leak and sure up the tank!!!

 

My .02 cents, a Blonde Naso Tang...simply stunning with long streamers, double yellow tail barbs, and a very elegant swimmer.

 

that is beautiful! Your fish are spoiled and loving every minute of their HUGE home.

 

Awesome Tank!
A blond Naso Tang would be cool.

 

purple tang is a must i think theyre beautiful.

 

What would everybody say is the hardiest of the tangs suggested? I do love Blonde Naso with those big lips, and Achilles are also quite dramtic, not to be leaving behind the statement of an adult purple tang.

But I am looking for the hardiest as we want tough fish and there is a good possibility of bullying from the hippo tang already in residence who is almost 5" long . . .

 

What a beautiful tank! I would have a hard time getting any work done with that tank around. I would be day dreaming about stocking options all the time. Do you think the current metal halide set up is enough to sustain sps in the mid to lower areas? You have great bulbs, I love the coloration of the Phoenix. It really looks good.
