Our first SW tank - 180 gal build

[reefgirl189]

By the way after seeing two radions placed lengthwise on the 180 I will not be buying a third one. For the minimal amount of shadowing that can be seen on this tank in person (pictures display it much more), there is no need IMO. Unless I win the lottery and have money to burn or I decide to get serious with SPS I'm not going to be buying another one.

Sooo glad I just saved myself $800+ and didn't bite the bullet and buy two more.

And I hope that is that last piece of equipment that I will need for this tank.
Lord knows I've spent enough on it already

Now it's time to sit back and enjoy and watch the corals grow

You could have saved $1100, not $800 if you didn't buy that junky wavemaker. Believe me, I feel your pain.

I know I bought a lottery ticket in hopes that my luck will be changing soon.

Some new pics:

I suck at taking FTS photos:


Black midas blenny from another canreefer. His name is Godzilla. I love this fish, so much character and fun to watch:





My favorite fish ever:



New tail spot blenny from another canreefer. I think the flash spooked him:


Here he is again in the background:

Had a nice little surprise when I got home from Edmonton today. My new RBTA that I haven't even had for a month has split. So now there's a cute little RBTA about the size of a toonie and one twice its size. Seems like everything is having babies around here! There must be something in the water!

Unfortunately the sailfin died a couple weeks ago. I still have no idea why. He just stopped eating and then got bloated and passed away. Everything else is flourishing ( and in some cases splitting lol ).

Yes we are expecting child #2 now. A couple months in and I was ready to be done with this pregnancy weeks ago, haha.

Thanks, you too! I'm kind of glad I brought my little terror of my own otherwise my wallet would have been much emptier upon leaving. If I didn't have to chase a little guy I would have had much more time for shopping, lol.

We got a little royal gramma an acan and some zoas. I'll post pics once they settle in.
