Very nice rrasco. I have the same breed a bit smaller though at the moment. My 24" banded passed away a few years ago.

You've got that in an actual reef?

Coincidentally enough, I have a picture of mine in that same posture and corner of the tank.

No she actually leaves things alone. Well that may change as she gets older but hopefully not. Worse cas scenario she does and I build a strictally shark tank and dedicated reef tank. Wouldn't that be horrible lol. Actually had a shrimp last time that would ride around the tank on my sharks head all the time. It was hilarious

That is hilarious.

That's what I did. Have my 105 reef and a 135 FOWLR. I have a 180 to put in it's place, but need to find somewhere to store 200 gallons of SW...

Yeah there is never enough room for everything we want. Definately not enough room in my wallet

Yeah the Scarlett shrimp was quite the character. Literally would hang out cleaning his face then ride around cruising the tank occasionally jumping off mid swim to jump on my adult emperor I had

I actually have room for the tanks. I don't have the physical capacity for the water while I switch the tanks around.

Yeah that's a lot of buckets. Time depending I do have a 500gal water trailer I'd have to check the tires but could possibly help ya that way. When or if the time arises

What size tank do you have this guy in?

Hmm, maybe so. I appreciate the offer.

I may try to borrow a few 100 gallon totes.

I've also considered playing musical tanks. Put the 180 close enough, but out of the way, move 135g into it, slide 135 out of the way, pump 135g back into 135, move 180 in place, and move water back to 180g. A lot of back and forth, but feasible.

I had an about 20 inch Cali horn shark, and an epaulette that I grew from 12" to 39inches before I sold them! Awesome sharks to watch and enjoy

I've often wondered if your screen name was some kind of play on the actual name of the "Wobbegong" shark, is it?
