Poknsnok's 240 build

Beautiful fish.

It's been a while since I researched Anthias. I didn't have much luck with the Lyretails and they were supposed to be some of the hardiest of all.

I'm new to the Red Stripe. Are they hardy and expensive?

Thanks

What are you feeding the Anthias? How did the other fish respond to them?

WOW, Joe!

Looks amazing, what a great school.

Joe,

This tank is awesome. You know I really, really love the light rack and how easy it is to manuever. Also, I love those Anthias too. How is the stand/canopy coming along?

the red stripe are considered very hardy but are usually hard to get and therefore expensive. However I was able to get these for much much less than Ive seen lately. We reefers here in Tampa are fortunate to have one of the best LFS in our own backyard and they often get their hands on great fish.

Im feeding them a mixture of mysis and cyclopeze soaked in selcon. I fed them about 5 times yesterday. They already beg like crazy . I was concerned I wouldnt see them for sometime after first introducing them to the tank because they are considered lower light fish and I have 3x400 watts on this tank but since the first feeding they all have been front and center

i love the light assembly too.. its easily removed and moved, and best of all it cost about 80.00 total.... The canopy is inching along. Im making it with the help of Carol (reefartist) an hopefully it will be completed in a month. Actually Im helping (watching) Carol make it . I broke a bone in my hand and probably wont do much else til the splint comes off in February. The stand is a ways off. I may redo the plumbing and manifold feeds to my reactors because space is a big concern.. and that will have to be done before he stand even begins.

Hey Joe - Boo-Hoo . Actually it will be finished this week, only one more coat to go but I'd like to spray it on. I removed the last coat because I didn't like it and redid that coat yesterday - yes I am picky . So, either today or tomorrow the last coat will be added.

[poknsnok]

picky is good
