The 180 Gallon Fully Stocked!

:smt031 What do ya think?

[lReef lKeeper]

IMO AK, and a lot of people will disagree, i would also add a Copperband Butterflyfish (chelmon rostratus). IME, they really help with Aiptaisa control, and we all know that Aptaisa is inevitable !!
Plus, they are a cool fish.

oh, and i can't tell if you have a lawnmower blenny (salarias fasciatus) taped to the tank. if not, you really should consider one. they are probably one of the fish with the most personality. you would not regret adding one of these guys !!

[jojo22]

how often are you feeding them??????? LOL

[dakar]

LOL Reminds me of Amanda's tank (at least I think it was hers) with the plastic fish in stuff in it... hee hee

A little dark though :P

[AuntKaren]

LOL I feed them colorful ink when their color fades. Instead of water changes I do a tape change.

Hey Bobby? I didn't stock the tank with aiptasia LOL.

Great tank, lawnmower blenny's are very cool, personality and style can't go wrong.

[AuntKaren]

OK OK....I'll give you the proposed list of fishes etc that we plan for this tank. Btw the live rock from Tampa Bay was really nice and is curing nicely downstairs in the horse trough! Doing 2 water changes a day on 180 gallons was NOT gonna work so we put about 50 gallons in a trough and can manage that nicely.

Proposed Population:

2 Tomato Clowns (or Perculas)
1 Yellow Headed Jawfish
1 Atlantic Blue Tang
1 Yellow Tang
1 Sailfin Tang
1 Foxface Lo
1 Shrimp Goby (as yet to be selected) maybe a blue spotted watchman
1 Pistol Shrimp (as yet to be selected)
1 Elbeii Dwarf Angel
1 Midas Blenny (If we can do 2 blennies in a tank a Red Scooter Blenny is our other choice).
3 Electric Blue hermit crabs
3 Halloween hermit crabs
3 - 6 Feather Dusters

Corals that I plan to transfer from the 24G Nano are:
Christmas Tree worm rock on porites
Green Star Polyp
a miniature zoa full of sponge (I don't care if it gets eaten)
Finger Colt Coral

How's that sound?

AK, your fish are looking a little drab. It may be time to change the ink in your printer...

[AuntKaren]

I called the LFS, sweetpea, but they don't carry any marine inks! Think some crayola octopusses might work?

[Sweetpea]

I don't know... do ya think Sharpie markers would work?

[mutts]

nice ak! they are so easy to take care of like this... lol... yes dakar it was me!

nice plan ak
