Awesome Crosshatch at O.C Aquatics

Scissorhand · #1 11/15/2007, 09:10 PM

I stopped by Kevin's store today and saw a huge male crosshatch. I believe it was at least 8"-10". Very nice price as well. It's beautiful and has very vibrant colors.

When I think back and thought, gee I spent $250+ on a stupid rhomboid, for a little more than that, I can get a crosshatch. Somehow it makes more sense on that big of a fish and, in my own opinion, much more colorful.

Did they sold the crosshatch pair? I saw they have it a couple weeks ago.

Hoang, upgrade a bigger tank at least 200g so you can have a crosshatch.

Anthony, I'm not sure about the pair. I believe the pair is still there. I was just drawn to the one that was in the main display tank. What a beauty.

anthias_lover, I believe a 200g tank will fall right through the floor of my mobile home.

Andy, all you need is a cover.

You should get it. It's really nice.

not only that man, seriously 200 gallon is not big enough for that size of fish...basically in a 200 gallon reef tank, especially with SPS, the swimming space is probably less than 100gallon...so i think it'll only work with maybe 150lb of LR and 2-3 fish...

i remeber when i had my 6" male CH, he ate ALOT ... i had to feed him at least 4-5 krills everyday just to keep him look fat when he was in my QT lol..

the smallest "reef" tank i would put one of those in would probably be 7x30x24 or bigger.

btw, the one in OCA is way too big ahha.. it's even bigger than the one in their display tank. But yah.. i do want another one IF all my tangs are gone lol.

put some cement blocks under the tank.

cut a hole in the floor and make the stand sit directly on the earth.

...or upgrade a large house and then upgrade a 200g+ tank to have a crosshatch.

buy a new hounse since it is going down and you have a bunch of houses to choose from.

Where? Toys 'R Us? That's about my budget right now.

... maybe I could just get the crosshatch, throw it in my 60 gal, and never show a soul a FTS.

SimilanRocks · #14 11/16/2007, 05:31 PM

I saw the crosshatch, very beautiful. How do they keep it in a tank full of exotic corals??

ezcompany · #15 11/16/2007, 05:54 PM

they are one of the few reef safe triggers

Hoang: Do you know OCA still stock rhomboid? I am looking one for my tank.
