With a tank this size, once somewhat mature, get a copperband butterfly. Great looking fish, and eat aptasia. I had a CBB for about 3 years and never had one, and if I had one on a rock, I placed it out in the open and he made short work of it.

However - do NOT add a mandarin goby! They compete for the same food, my 3 year old CBB died in one week after adding one.

Looking forward to more updates. dave

Thanks Dave. I had a CBB in my 85g for a good 2 years until he disappeared into the rock work forever. That was a very well established tank with tons of pods, etc. I will give one another shot in the big tank a year down the road maybe. Like you said, once it has an established microfauna.

I can't wait to get home and see what the peppermints have accomplished. I want to move corals haahaa!

I got an A200 from Abyzz instead of an A100 since it wasn't ready yet. I pulled the Quietones out and adapted the 1.5" output of the Abyzz to the 1" manifold.

Here is the A200 on the bottom sump.

You may have noticed the large white zip ties holding the silicone connectors on to the Abyzz pumps. This is why I took the stainless shell hose clamps off.

And my little buddy was hanging around so I had him pose for a couple.

I still need to add two more MP40's. I have one running on the 40g coral tank that will be transferred once that tanks shut down.

I added some corals. I hope to get some shots this weekend. A nice green/orange scolymia, a pink wall hammer, an orange frogspawn, a nice acan colony, and a small zoa frag.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks! I originally wanted a 360 :) 6x4x2! But there was an issue with having it built in the basement so I had to drop it down to 6x3x2 :(

Cheers!

Nice....glad to see those frags surviving the transition.
