PackLeader's 200 gallon Reef

The blue spotted jawfish is cool. I got one a couple weeks ago. He has been in hiding most of the time , but is now making appearances. Fun to watch and keeps the sand moving around the rocks...
You can have my yellowhead sleeper if you want him .. hehe

 

I forgot about the powder brown you got! That settles that. Schooling fish are awesome.

Powder tangs aren't combatible unless your tang is huge or you get lucky. So no powder blue for you

 

;D Yes, in your dreams buddy! BTW someone else mentioned this, how in the hell are you gonna sleep with all that noise??? That is a TON of water movement, heck I have trouble sleeping next to my teeny tiny 20 gallon a few feet away!

 

My tank is relatively noisy... but I've seen plenty that are quiet as a mouse.

 

And about a 100 to 150 lbs more you will have all you need
I have close to 100 lbs in the sump.. and close to300 in this 180 as it sets now.

 

You're 100% correct. 150 lbs of rock disappears in a 180 gallon tank.
Stock up on all the craigslist base rock you can find Pack!

 

Oh, no doubt guys. I've been looking on craigslist lately, nothing to great to get excited about. But I figure the 170 pounds with what I have in my 40 will at least be good enough to get the ball rolling.
Also, as an update, ordered the skimmer late last night/early this morning. Supposed to be in on Friday. I will be working on the stand for sure this weekend, unless something not predicted happens with the weather.

 

you could pickup that strippers rubbermaid rock

 

Isn't it supposed to snow? All my clients have been blabbering and whining about it all day. :-/

 

NOOOOOOO! Don't even say it!
I actually have no idea. Thats going to be a bummer if it does. Maybe I will try to get the wood after work this week, and fill up the propane bottles as well. Just close up the garage and turn on the burners as I do it.
