Luc's 250g Build

Looks good, Still looks like real rock to me.

 

Update: The remaining chromis are doing great. Crazy little piggies the are
Added a Yellow Tang (approximately about 2-3'' in size)
Added a 'Dory' Blue Tang (approx 2'' in size)
Added a Longfin Banner fish 'Heniochus acuminatus' (approx 5'' ish in size)

All seem to be fitting in to their new home just great. I will try to get pics up soonish.

Ok these are the only pics i can get. Think i will ask my GF father to borrow his fancy pants camera.



You can just about see the 3 new fish in that pic



That is a blurry pic of the bannerfish and Dory

 

Looking good Luc - those fish look tiny in that monster tank

Steve

 

Thanks steve. They really do look tiny! Bless them

 

how much did the tank it's self set you back? I'm wanting to get a MUCH bigger tank in 3 to 4 years

 

The tank itself cost me the equivalent of $690 (US) . That came with everything you see, apart from water 'rocks' and fish of course. So thats is Tank (obviously), stand, sump, return pump, filtration media, lighting. Even down to Water conditioner, food and decorations. (the last two were focused towards fresh water aquarium usage, so i kept them but didnt use.)

Extra stuff needed to get the tank to its current status includes; UV filter, Sand, Fake rock, Reef salt and of course fish
I cant give an exact total cost as stands. But i do know it is around the $900-$1000 mark.

It's real good quality, and had it custom made to go with the style of our house and to the size i wanted it. Only problem i can see for you though is that if you wanted the same deal, it is the fact i live in China. So shipping for you might be a problem

 

I think your tub is almost as cool as your tank lol.

 

I know its been a while. But here are finally a pictorial update on how my tank is doing.




Big fat Brain


Big fat Brain just before feeding


Elegance


Sun coral and a silly shrimp. Only half of them were hungry tonight.


This is the little fella i saved from the small tank. He is still not looking great. But at least all the heads have opened up now and there is a bit of new growth.


This chap isnt doing too great at the moment. I dont think i positioned him very well. I would move him. But he looks like he is moving himself. Half of him is stuck to the rock her came on. The other half is spreading onto the large 'rock'. So i guess i wait till hes all off the small rock, or all on the big rock to move him now




A fav pic of mine. Side on shot with Mr Tang in center shot


A few full tank shots. Sadly my camera (phone) isnt really good at these


In this pic you can see that the naughty snails have knocked over the sea fan and someone stole my crapping tongs so i cant reach in to move him yet. grrr





Also this sneaky bugger came into my tank somehow. Any id's? im guessing its some kind of anemone. Seems harmless and peaceful and under control. Is it a danger?

 

Cool update. Everything looks really good. Thought you werent going with corals though?

That would be a majano anenome in the last picture. Kill it, they can spread pretty fast and sting your other corals. No good in a reef tank.
