Tbelt's 180 gallon build

I will. So far no problems. I did loose a great part of one of my zoa colonies. It was one of the biggest I had. do not know what happened. This happened before the Flame was added. It was closed when i left for Vegas last week and when I got back there were maybe 15-20 of the 80-100 heads left. Have not noticed anyone "eating" on it but it did shrink. The heads that are left seem to be doing fine and no other corals have been effected. The only new fish that was added when all this came to be was a Kole tang (or yellow eye). other then that tank doing well with no probs. It turns a year old this month

 

It has been a while since I posted anything. Been bust with work and then spent some tine in the Cayman Islands. The tank has been doing well. In fact had to "mow the lawn" yesterday some of my Exenia's have taken over so I fragged out about 20 pieces.
The Flame angel I got is not bothering any corals and is a joy to watch. So far all the tankmates are getting along.
Also got a new fish Saturday



I will try to get an updated FTS up sometime today. Thought I would also share some pics from vacation. This is myself and the wife kissing "Snowflake for 7 years good luck.



A rare find at least for me a Queen Angel


And a southern Sting ray just cruisin along



And finally just one of me holding one of the rays at Sting ray City



Thanks for looking. When I can put the lights on in the tank I will post some updated pics of the tank.

 

Beautiful add, congrats

 

Thanks 2in10. Here are some pics of what the tank looks like since my last post. I changed salt about 3 months ago to Red Sea Coral Pro and have been liking it quite a bit. Corals seem to like it better too.

Full tank shot



My first attempt at fragging



Some random pics of the tank and the fish













Thanks for looking

Wonderful images of vacation. Love the suba diving there. Sting ray city, is a blast, except for those that have squid in their hands or pockets lol. Do they still have that huge moray eel there?

Looks like fragging went very well.

Are those GBTAs, in the rocks?

 

We all had squid and no problems. I even took one and wiped on my youngests back. While he was snorkeling at sting ray city a huge ray swam right over top of him. He loved it. all you could see was his flippers sticking out. As far as the eel goes i heard that was at the scuba area of sting ray city. We went to the sand bar so we did not see him.

If GTBA stands for green tip bubble anenome (i know it is spelled wrong) then no. Hammer head coral and a frogspawn i think. they were in the 5 tub at the LFS and i bought them because my wife liked the way the were "wispy" in the current. they have grown quite a bit. everything is doing great. My alien eye favia started with 5 heads and nows has over 30.

Only have room for a few more fish. thinking powder blue tang and a Naso tang and one more type of fairy wrasse. Then i am done adding fish and will concentrate on coral. i have a lot of reading to do on coral bfore i do too much more. i know just enough to get me into trouble. Should be fun learning though.

also concidering another tank. FOWLR so i can get the fish i like that eat corals and so forth. Still undecided.

 

Got a call from wife this morning ( I am on the road with work) my new wrasse is missing. She cannot find him anywhere. What a bummer!!!!! Only had him 4 days. Strange part is she cannot find a body. did not see him during feeding and he has not missed a meal since I got him. I will be home tonight so maybe I can find him.

 

Great new pics, you should like the new salt a lot as time goes on IME.

Don't give up on the wrasse it is most likely in the sand. Do check to see if it jumped though you never know.

 

Found him alive and well, He is in the overflow.

 

Very pretty tank, TBELT!
Nice pictures too. 8)
