First Pics of the New 200g! :D

[ErikH]

Just picked it up yesterday. TY To Alton for the INSANE deal. :) TY to Ace and family for driving out there for nothing, well, except we got to see the worlds biggest house cat and that marvel of a 300g! POST PICS ALTON!!! :D

TY to Jack and his wonderful son for coming over and motivating me to finish the job last night!

I woke up this morning and rearranged all of the rock to my liking. Gotta add the other halide, and wait for the water to settle down a bit before the pics come out good, but here's some to start. ENJOY! :D :D :D :bighug:

Wow. It looks great. Love the BIG doors on the cabinet!
You move fast! Already stocked. Is that you or Alton in the first pic?

[Mr Cob]

^that's Erik.

Looks great man! Perfect upgrade for your fish and corals...so much room now! Happy for you Erik....now you can buy more coral!

[txav8r]

This is an awesome tank! It's HUGE!!

[justahobby]

Man I can tell by the pics how much your fish are loving the room! Good job dude.


LMK when your free so I can see your tank....:angel: umm bring your bulbs back.

[aquasport24]

:applause: Man that was fast, can't wait for the water to clear out. Looks awesome man. The tangs will thank you.

[CoryDude]

You're a sucker for punishment. Hurry up and get it set up to your liking, 'cause you're not going to have time for anything else here pretty soon. When you're up all night feeding a newborn, the tank tends to slide a little. Very jealous of you. :applause:

[Mrs. z28pwr]

Wow Erik you have done a great job!!! I can't wait to see all your corals grow..... Everyone looks so happy:) Love your aquascape!!! What kind of lighting are you running?

[BIGBIRD123]

Nice set-up Erik...you lucky dog...lol What you gong to do with the 90g now?

[Paul28]

Sweet !!! Erik love the set up :)

[stoneroller]

Everything in one tank now?? Amazing!

Hopefully, I would love more stuff!

My armpits hurt from the canopy! Even with my monkey arms it's hard to reach down in there!

:D Jack came over and helped me get my second wind. The beer nap earlier yesterday helped too. :)


Nice set-up Erik...you lucky dog...lol What you gong to do with the 90g now?

Oh it's a 75, that thread was just 90 pics long lol. I feel insanely lucky, almost bought a lotto ticket. Alton knows hoe to build a stand! :D


Sweet !!! Erik love the set up :)

I'll post more pics tomorrow! Water is CLEAR as all get out!


Everything in one tank now?? Amazing!

Yeah, now it's not three tanks, or two, or 1 with a 100g rubbermaid sump. :D

[ErikH]

Here's more pics, a little less cloudy, with all four halides mounted. There were only three in the pics above.

Nice caves. I really like your red/orange cocoworm. So pretty!

[Mr Cob]

It looks so darn good man. I love all of your large colonies...I can only suspect they will get much larger now. Can't remember if Tab is back home??? Hope she is feeling well...I'm sure she is stoked for you too!

Does the tank fit perfectly on that wall or is it so massive that it hangs over a bit? Hard to tell....it looks huge! Love it.

[jlh81]

what happen to the 144 you were going to get? BTW the 200 is sweat!!

[Third Coast Tropical]

geeesh....

[diego]

Nice tank Erik!!!!!!!

[ErikH]

Hope my new CBB don't eat it!

Yeah Tabby is at home on strict bedrest! She really likes the new tank, it's impossible not to! It fits just right on that wall, had to have it off center a bit though so we can get to the A/C! Thanks Rob, you need to come check it out!

No 144, I got a 110, but I am selling it to raise some baby money. :angel: :bigsmile:


geeesh....

LOL Lindsay, you like that? :D

[acropoorer]

Nice Eric! This is one of those hobbies where bigger is better, if you discount the work. Good Luck with the tank and baby!

Dale

[RayAllen]

I bet those yellow tangs are thinking "wow we are in heaven" You have had those tangs for a few years at least.

Looks great Erik.

[Big_Pun]

very nice, you should give me the 90g for passing this to u lol

[Jarob]

Im always amazed when I see your massive colonies! Looks awesome, I LOVE the change in lighting across the tank

[ErikH]

Thanks very much Dale, your tank is AWESOME. I would love to see it someday!

Looks great Erik.

Tonight, both of them were following me back and forth across the tank. Very cool.


very nice, you should give me the 90g for passing this to u lol

:) If I hadn't already promised it to Justin, it would be yours!!!

Oh yeah, the lights will all be changed soon enough. The fourth halide sat unused for along time. I put a different bulb in the one I did have running on my 75. I just keep smiling ear to ear when I see it.

[alton]

Looks good Erik, glad everything worked out. This was Twister when he was a kitten back in 2001 when I had a different canopy? He used to jump up on the 200 until I left a cover off and he fell in, what a splash. He never jumped on an aquarium again. Second picture is my son and Twister, of course both have grown since this picture, my son is 6'5" and Twister is a little bigger.

[ACE]

Wow, I never realized just how packed your 75 was, enough to fill out a 200..LOL...It looks great Erik!!

[roscozman]

Looks good Erik

[hobogato]

great job erik, sorry we didnt get there in time to help load it

[Bill S]

Lookin' very nice Erik!

[lt1z28]

[Third Coast Tropical]

Frags any zoos while you had the rocks out?

[Roo&Lis]
