Wow, gorgeous, finally, a mixed reef tank, frogspawn, xenia,(daring)lol, anemones, clams and hard corals all in one. I am delighted to see this finally. The hard coral tanks are pretty boring and this is a real delight and as I said, gorgeous, congratulations to you.

An inspiration!
Your display has a DSB, correct? If so, how deep? And what source do you use for DSB critters? I was thinking about taking out my DSB, after a year with little success. If you're using it with success, I'll stick with it.

Congrats Peter! The best part of this tank is the owner. He is very generous with his information, frags, and willingness to help others. The crown jewel of the crown city has finally gone nation wide.

Thanks for all of the great replies. Some of the tank has a deepish sandbed, around 6", but some of the aquarium does not have much sand. My refugium has an 8" deep sandbed. I have bristleworms, spaghetti worms and a bunch of misc unidentified critters as well. I hired aprofessional moving crew to mopve the tank TWICE! The first moving crew cracked the tank! The second moving crew did a much better job. It took 12 of us to lift the tank from the front of the stand onto the stand. To get it in the house we used ramps, dollies, and MAN POWER!

Congrats!!!! All I can say is that the pics don't even begin to do the tank justice compare to what it looks like in person. Having seen it at least 4 times now, I still find things I haven't seen on the previous visits. Peter, I'm still waiting for that beer you offered and some time to chill on your couch and stare at that wonderfull reef! Great Job man!!!

Peter wonderful setup. A labor of love is very evident here. I can't imagine the time spent getting it to this point. You wife is a great gal! Your a lucky guy!
Do you have any pics of the fairy wrasse you list? My favorite reef fish. Also how do you have the QT tank plumbed. Great idea to keep it on-line until you need it.

That is great, I love your jump from a 10 gallon to a 180 gallon, I myself went from a 29 gallon to a 55 gallon. We shall see on the next jump, but your tank is just great.

Congrats Peter,
This is truely an awesome tank to see in person. Can't wait to have an excuse to be up in your area again to perhaps see the tank again. This is one of my favorite picture I took of the tank, you can kinda get a feel for the enormity of it.

Beautiful setup! How is the sohal and the powder blue as far as aggression? I am starting a 210, but I am afraid that would be too small for the both of them?
More pictures would be great! Love the setup! gm |

The Sohol is about 4 1/2 years old. I originally added him to my 180 when he was much smaller along with the Regal tang. The last fish I added was the Powder Blue. Everyone gets along fine except the Yellow Tang and the Purple tang. They got along fine for alomost a year. Then all of a sudden the Purple got very aggressive towards the yellow. Now the yellow always hangs out in the rock work swimming through all the crevices and pass throughs in the back and under the reef structure. He only comes out when I feed the tank. It stinks because I would rather have the yellow out swimming around. I may try and catch the purple soon and put him in my frag grow out tank. That tank now houses an Orange Shoulder tang. The Sohol is by far the KING of the tank and everyone knows it. There is definitely a structural hierchy in the tank and most of the fish know there place in that hierchy. Once in a while like teenagers a small spat will break out for maybe 15 seconds or so, but then all is back to normal. I need to take some more pics of the filter room and equpment because the pic hosting service no longer has my albums for some reason. I will try and take some more photo's today and post them tonight.

This may be a trivial question for most but how do you get a 1400lb tank in your house and onto the stand?
Linear Mode
