210 Aggressive FOWLR Setup

Interesting looking.....your fish are going to be the highlight. I think I would try to opt for fish that swim at different levels in the tank so you can really highlight the fish. The eel would hide a lot of the time and so would the ray but the ray would be neat if you are ready to care for them....the lionfish and perhaps the porcupine. If you add in the maroon last that may do it. I don't think Picasso's are vicious (except toward inverts)...especially if you get them young and they have enough space to have their own area......that would be my attempt if I wanted those fish. Sounds like the clown trigger may be out because of tank size. Are angels compatible at all with these fish? If you get them on the larger size and the others when small? They are stunning in a fishonly...

 

What if I replaced the Stingray with a Sohal Tang?

 

Yea the Aquascaping was harder than I could imagine. I used stacking alone going back afterwards to epoxy the rocks together with aquastik. I wanted alot of archways and didn't stop until I reached the top. The pieces locked together well but in order for them to stack right it took on more of a unique look.

 

The scaping is really cool. All the passage ways are cool. Good luck with your fish choices.

 

Love the scape! And I'm very picky about Scapes

 

Nice looking setup. I would go with all qty of fish. But that a nice set of fish though.

 

Geesh...the tang most likely to "go postal"...

Nice job on the 'scaping...it's gonna look nice when it "weathers" a bit and gets some coralline growth on it. You did a nice job getting the rockwork to not look like a pile of rocks. :thumb_up:

 

Added a Mappa Puffer today. I let him drip acclimate for 3 hours and within a few minutes of being placed in the display tank he went on a hunt. He bit at a turbo snail and instantly puffed up half way. After he puffed up I snapped a couple photos with my phone because he also changed colors temporally.

 

dude... freaking sweet. love the tank, love the scape, and LOVE the puffer. i have always just loved predator tanks, too bad compatibility is such a PITA.

i would totally go with a clown trigger over picasso, and get a lion in there too. then top it off with an eel.

later down the road when/if you upgrade your tank you could probably give the ray a shot.

not exactly an expert on these sorts of tanks so if someone more experienced comes in and corrects me.... oh well! haha.

 

Nice specimen
