Upgarde to 155 Bow Front COMPLETE! NEW PIC ADDED

[The Grizz]

So here it is I have started a snowball affect. The wife would only let me put a tank in the house if it was SW. So I purchased a complete used 65 gal system with some live rock and a few residence. With in a few short month I was given a 65 gal Hex converted it to SW moved the residence of that tank to my FW 125 gal in my office.

NOW I am setting up a 155 gal BF purchased used from fellow Can Reefer. Stripped out lighting and re finished stand and canopy. Just finished re-doing the plumbing to add in 4 sprayer bar's and new unions for the pump. Ballast and bulbs for my 3 - 250w MH arriving next week, as well as my power heads ( I hope).

Purchased Tunze 9010 from another Can Reefer, have 2 Coralife Turbo Twist 9W UV each with a pump and 420 w of T5's and 1 PC.

Here is the start of the project that I thought I would never be doing.

INCREDIBLE looking tank! I Was looking for a 155 Bow too but ended up with a 145 Half Circle! Good for you! It will be very nice! Will be watching the build!

That is a nice tank, it looks huge. Can't wait to see it running.

[the marine apprentice]

lookin good greg. that sucker is huge... let me know if ya need a hand with anythign.

[fishytime]

Das is gonna be sweet....also looking forward to seeing it running....are you combining the other two tanks or are you leaving those running and starting fresh?

[The Grizz]

I am going to combine my other 2 tanks. Dividing this one with an acrylic perf panel as I have a rather large Lion Fish that would eat all my small fish in my community tank. Also I have a Picasso Trigger, a Vallintini Puffer, a Fox Face, a Yellow Tang, a Fire Clown (whose mate is in the community tank so he doesn't get eaten by Leo) and a snowflake eel that should stay sepperated from the community. Then I am going to build a sump set-up for my 65 Hex so the wife can get her seahorses that she has been bugging me for. Have not been able to talk her into setting up another large tank in the house YET but still working on her.

Any suggestions as to livestock additions for either Community or Pred?

Above is my pred tank.Community I have a Jewel Damsel (not nice some time's) 2 Blue Green Cromis, .a Azure Damsel, a Spotted Hawkfish, 2 False Clowns, a Regal Tang, a 6 Line Wrassel, my Fire Clown's mate, and a little guy with a yellow mohawk and blue fin's that I can't remember what the heck it is. Also have 2 sand sifting stars and a green sea star thingy.

Have been thinking of trying to sell my Lionfish but not sure what hes worth. There is a picture of him in my album's. He is easily 6" long, 2 1/2" H and 1 1/12 thick with a fin span of over 8".

Cool Thanks Cory. How long have you had your Copper Band, I hear they are hard to keep alive. Reef 2 is the one that you had mostly sps and Reef 1 was the one with the shrooms right.
