PackLeader's 200 gallon Reef

Rad! Seen one of those fish at a LFS the other day slightly bigger than a quarter. Tiny little thing.



Are those 2x4's you have across the top to hold the light? ;D

 

They are actually 2x6's : I still haven't gotten into the attic to hang the light. Thought about it on Sunday. It was 139.8 degrees in there. So, it is still up on the lumber

 

Sure is a pretty fish! Congratulations and worth the wait, I'm sure!

 

by thought about it he thought about what a weenie he is.

 

Few more pics for the night:

The hippo tang. Tail is nearly 100% already:




Action at the veggie clip:




And here is a good comparison shot for the giant, humongous, uber creepy emerald. He is pretty much up against the glass. The coin on the trim is a US quarter for comparison, and you can see how each claw is as big as the coin.

 

emerald crabs just make me nervous. I won't keep them. I'm afraid they might get extra hungry

 

So far so good with mine (I have 3 of them in there). Though the big one does eat coraline, which I know some would freak out about. I like it personally Wish he could get rid of all of it. I think most would freak over the copper band around the corals. He has been perfect so far as well. The only thing I have noticed, is he has a tendency to go after the "snorkel" on nassarius snails thinking they are worms. Hasnt seemed to cause much damage to them even though.

 

watch your clams if you have any cuz that's the one thing I've seen copperbands screw with. I wouldn't put one in my tank but it's a beautiful fish. You are in the early enough stages I think, that if it goes off of the deep end it wouldn't be too awfully difficult to snatch it out.

 

The claws on that emerald are huge. No problems with SD bullying the chromis? I have one chromis who used to bully the rest of the chromis and I got a blue devil and now they just bully each other and don't bother anyone else.They do that all day like they like it,of course mines in a 55gal and you have alot more room to roam.

 

No problems at all. When I first added the chromis, it tried bullying a few things. Went after my firefish first, than went after the yellow tail. The yellow tail then proceeded to go after the chromis for the rest of that day. Now the chromis knows not to mess with anyone
