My 225 Gallon Set-up

Hey! I guessed right!!

 

Nah not the blue lol... It seemed to have a more light orange then reddish orange tint to it. Might just be from acclimating who knows or cameras. But either way congrats. great fish. Enjoy!

 

Ahhhhhhhhhh. I see you had your switch on ghetto too. :LolLolLol:LolLolLol:LolLolLol

 

That's an amazing deal I thought I got a huge deal on mine. It was $185, but originally was $300 but because it was bigger than what I ordered they dropped the price. My lfs always cuts me deals since I drop all kinds of cash there.

 

You are correct. He was in the tub acclimating. His true colors finally showed once released in the qt tank. Video to follow.

 

Well the fish was originally 160 but there was a sale I didn't know about so I got the Achilles cheaper. He is maybe 3 inches give or take 1/2 inch. This is my second attempt with one. I remember before I ever started salt water I saw the fish and said I gots to have him one day.

 

How long did u have the first one and what happened to it if u don't mind me asking? I was the same way as soon as I saw it had to get a big enough tank for it

 

Well I received the first one when I had my 125 and he was good for a while and then came ich. He was still eating and it was coming and going for about a month or two. Then all sudden it stopped eating and started hiding until he was on his side and he stayed that way for a few days then it finally died. I don't know if my parameters were good or if it was the Marine Ich treatment I was doing. All I know is I know more now than I did before so I am making sure either I don't make the same mistake twice or it just wasn't meant for me to have an Achilles.

 

Here is a video of the new additions in my QT tank.
