S. gigantea finally

[OrionN]

Finally I got a healthy S. gigantea from Aquarium Masters, a blue carpet at that. I have had it for the last 1 month and it is doing really well, eating well and never deflate from the get go.
Here are a few pictures with my clowns also from Aquarium Masters.

MAN! That is a beauty Minh. I know you've been looking for one for quite some time. That is a beautiful specimen, thanks for sharing. MORE PICS PLEASE! :)

Absolutely gorgeous :applause: Good luck, they're tough! I've followed your threads off and on, here and ReefCentral for years though -- I'm sure you'll do fine :)

Any rough estimations on total inflated size?

Wow! That's Nice! :)

aaaaawwwwwesome!!! Isnt that your tank at gcr too? AMAZING!

[OrionN]

Thanks. It is about 14 inches or so and is growing fast since I feed it daily to get it over the stress of shipping. I think I start to cut back on the feeding next week.

THAT thing is HUGE! Awesome! Thx for posting. Beautiful clowns too.

It is my tank at GCReef. I just move and trying to set up a system to bring it home, but I have been too busy lately to set my system up. I got tanks and stand and everything. Just a few minor equipments and the time to set it up.
I got 3 tanks at my office and one at GCReef at this time. I wanted to consolidate and get them all home (and one system at the office) in one or two systems.

Can I go diving in your new system once its running? I'll scrub some rocks while I'm in there... :bigsmile:

Just assuming how big this tank is likely gonna be :)

I have two cube tanks, 30X30X25, on a stand and share the same sump with a surge tank on top. Total volume is about 250-300 g depends on how big the sump is. Arrange the tank correctly, I should be able to keep my two Magnifica in one and the Gigantea and a pair of H. malu in the other. My Haddoni carpet will stay at the office.
The Magnifica and my Gigantea will stay at home where I can keep a better eye on them and have more redundancy and control over the system.
You can't dive in that system for sure. :-)

[Mr Cob]

That's a mean pic right there!

[corruption]

You can't dive in that system for sure. :-)

I can slap on a snorkel mask and face in! :rofl: I can't wait to see what the final configuration looks like, I'm sure it'll be amazing :)

The two I got, one is a complete black and one with almost no black. Both very beautiful and very large for their age. Both are in my tank with the Magnifica at GCReef.
