Marie, could the wrasse be a Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura?

Looks awesome so far. Talk about tons of room for SPS growth. Clean looking setup with just the vortechs on the end panes.

Beautiful!! Can't wait to see it fill in. I love your idea of smaller fish. I tried it.. and then caved.

That's what I've been going with but it looks more like a Cirrhilabrus luteovittatus without the gold bar on the side......




My original plan was all small fish except the copperband but when the brown wafer algae started growing I decided 1 naso tang would be alright. Then I took down my 120g so now I have 3 tangs in there and I am apparently in the process of caving myself :redface:

Wow Marie, that looks great and so different from your last tank :) Loving it :biggrin:

It is hard to stick to! But OMG you have a huge beautiful tank, so why not add a few larger ones. :mrgreen:
I conquer... One more fish should be okay or a few! :biggrin:

What made you take down the other tank?

After catering to an sps tank, fretting over majanos and algae in a zoa tank and attempting to make money by propagating rics, I wanted a tank that I enjoyed no matter what route it took. A complete reef, with algae, crabs shrimp, lots of fish and the corals playing a background roll. So far I'm enjoying it all.....although the cyano could leave anytime now :lol:

It got boring :redface: all I was doing was maintenance so I am going to turn it into a paladarium complete with fish and frogs

Sounds Fantastic! I have a soft spot for Frogs, something from my child hood. I was always like Mommy those frogs are piggy-backing. :wink:

Can't wait to see it.

Looks great! Make sure you do a build for your paladarium.

I added about 50lbs of more live rock

Awesome Tank!!!:mrgreen:

Very nice Marie. Must be just about time for a visit to see it live.

Looks great!

Looks great Marie! I love the mix of fish sizes you have in there too :biggrin:

In a few weeks my tank will be celebrating it's first birthday :mrgreen:

Everything looks so vibrant, colourful & healthy Marie. But of course, what else would we expect from you:biggrin:

See you in a couple of weeks. Felicia and I can't wait to check out your tank(s) in person.

Anthony

STUNNING!!!!

That's a bruiser of a yellow tang. Things look fantabulous :)

The yellow tang is my oldest fish, I've had him for over 8 yrs now

The tank is looking great Marie! I'm really liking what you've done with it :mrgreen:

Absolutely gorgeous.

That is one awesome tank! I wish I can have a big tank like yours. How many chromis do you have and how long have you had them? I use to have 7 in mine but now down to 2 as they seemed to have killed each other off over time.

Thats some serious progress for a tank only 1yr old! Love the big tangs and wrasses.

To be fair the rock and a lot of the corals came out of my 175g tank :mrgreen:
