I'm looking for inspiration too. I just waded through hours of threads looking for the FTS. Surprisingly, Very hard to find.
I want FTS WITH the cabinetry, even better showing how the setup fits the room.

Heres a great slide show. Anyone know of more where this came from?

Kraash: What is the tang you have in there that have yellow with greyish V stripe and blue fins?

last one was during construction.

The tank is recessed about 38 inches behind the false wall.

That is a juvi Atlantic blue tang, I have had it about 2 years now with not much of any changes, as an adult it will or should be all blue. It is one of few fish that I like better as an adult over a juvi

Hello Steve,

the tank is oval 2m long, up to 1,5m wide in the middle and 90cm high.
Well in the picture it may not look to big. The aqua scape was allready installed when I took over the care of the tank...
But it gives the tank together with the oval shape a very wide and large image...
I attach another picture where you can see the size - I was in there to do some repair of the aqua scape when I took over the care.


That's gross! I worry about sticking my arm in my tank. This guy might as well bring in a bar of soap next time in.

and the soft coral in the left lower corner of the tank in the picture of the posting above is about 30cm in diameter.

Tom,
I ran across your TOTM again. I think its one of the best displays out there. The way the tank and cabinetry tie into the room is just perfect.
Do you have a thread with updated pics? Thanks for the link, too!

Markus is simply following the advice I gave years ago to another huge tank owner

"Be sure and wear a speedo lest tangs nest in your britches"

[MarkusII]

Jarhead,

all the fish disapear and hide in the rocks when I am in the tank

Lucky you don't have any eel or puffer

- yes, but I have a single premnas who is frequently trying to attack my arms, when I am placing corals in the tank or doing some other work inside....

Maroons are pretty aggressive. I had a bicolor dottyback that would beat up fish 4x his size. Mean little guy had to go.

Thanks for the compliment. I was pleased with the way things turned out . Unfourtantly my wife got a job transfer about a year ago and the tank was torn down and everything was sold. However, the story does have a happy ending for I got to expand my hobby to an even larger set up. This time around I'm going sps. The new tank is about 420 gallons with a 8"L x 3"W x 28"H footprint. Here is a recent shot. I'm still adding corals and filling in the space. I'm at the 8 month mark right now.
