Me and my phone are bored so I figured I'd snap a pic or two of he tank.

She just got it up this last weekend. The sand is starting to show some diatoms and so is some of the rock.

75 gallon with six 54 watt T5 and a 100 gallon sump.

She wants a nice open design with plenty of swimspace because of all the rock that we have she can keep little in this tank.

Calflo in the back will have rubble rock for softy frags.

Chris dude,

You do have the room... Dining room tables are waaaaay over rated. ;)

It makes me sad ever time I contemplate getting rid of him. I'm glad that Milly decided she wanted another tank as I was about to dismantle the frag tank.

Nice Allan, Love that the sump holds more water than the aquarium.

Yeah, but the sump is shared by both systems.

Volume capacity is 365 gallons for the entire system.

I was hoping Milly would post some of her pics with her camera. She took a really nice one of the scopas.

Picked him up at Gabes about three days ago, he's doing great. No problems thus far, great appetite too.

Do you have a canopy or cover? It would be a sad day he it jumped! How long have you had the scopas? That is the favorite tang I have owned.

There is a small opening in the back that we plan on covering with egg crate.

Newest addition to the tank, LTA w/ Perc pair (although 1 has since died, need a replacement :).) Once acclimated, one clown stayed close to the anemone at all times but never hosted, went down last night to check on night critters, and he was finally hosting! Post a pic of that soon...

Joe, don't be confused... although Sponge Bob currently lives in her tank, he belongs to me :)

But to answer your question, no he doesn't eat any of the coral. We moved him over there when it looked like he was chomping on my toadstool... later we realized that the coral was just dropping pieces.

When you handed him over, you gave up owning rights ;) lol
