Very nice!

Looks good! The open lr layout is visually pleasing. I love it when fish crowd the side of the aquarium to get a look at you.

Great looking tank! The rockwork is nice.

allykahn · #11 09/15/2007, 07:38 PM

Thanks for the compliments.

Yes, I truly do need more corals!

Nice tank. How old is it?

allykahn · #14 09/15/2007, 08:59 PM

About eight/nine years old. The 180g has been set up since last August with most of it coming from my old 100g.

I have had most of the fish for at least four years, except the Sailfin, which I have had for eight years.

nice tank does ur flame angle ever pick at ur corals and do u think i can put one in a 100g reef. Anthor ? what was the fish in ur 100

allykahn · #16 09/16/2007, 08:14 AM

I have never had a problem with the flame picking on corals, however I don't have many corals right now.

In the 100, I had the following:
Regal tang
Sailfin tang
Naso tang
Chromis
Coral beauty
Clowns

Very nice! Nice to see the tangs all living in harmony too.

Gordonious · #18 09/17/2007, 09:31 AM

Sweet tank. Wish I had a tank looking that nice right now. Just watch that anemone up the top right. Looking very close to that open input to the power head. If it grow or moves just a little bit you might lose a good bit of it. Otherwise looks like a sweet set up. Any idea how many lbs. of live rock you have in there?

The Cardinal · #19 09/17/2007, 09:35 AM

Very nice, what dimensions is it? Is it low iron glass?

2fishy · #20 09/17/2007, 09:36 AM

That is an awesome tank! The aquascaping it amazing!

allykahn · #21 09/17/2007, 10:14 AM

Gordonious, I think I have close to 200 lbs of live rock.

Cardinal, the tank is 72 x 24 x24, standard 180g. I wish it was low iron.

2fishy, thanks! I wanted to have open areas for the tangs and caves for the smaller fish.

I just picked up a mandarin yesterday but he was hiding all afternoon. I'll see about him tonight.

2fishy · #22 09/17/2007, 10:19 AM

I have a female mandarin that stayed mostly in the back of the tank for the better part of the year that we have had her! I was so bummed that she is so shy. She's just finally starting to venture out to the front more often.

AAA+++ on the aquascaping, needed some new ideas for mine...Also great fish choices...can't wait to see it with more corals! Thanks for sharing...

db_triggerfish · #24 09/17/2007, 11:10 AM

Really nice tank, and so clean, i see you keep the back glass clean i think it makes a big difference in the appearance of a tank. Beautiful Enjoy it.

How do the Bi-Color and the Flame get along?
