400 gallon project

Yes, the tank is still running along...

The conversion to AI Hydra 52's is ongoing. Now, LEDs light 2/3 of the tank. My coral doesn't much like the LEDs much. Too bad. Adapt or die is my attitude on it. One thing, the green pavona fluoresces so brightly under the UV LEDs that the fish bellys glow when they swim over it. It really looks like I have light in the bottom of the tank shining upwards!

It looks like I have successfully introduced a new fish. I don't get to buy fish very often since my existing fish have a habit of living forever and killing newcomers...I've tried before to replace my Blue Tang and failed. This time, I purchased a very thin, sickly looking, juvenile and kept him alone in the sump for a month to fatten him up. I finally got him into the main tank last week and he is doing great. Nobody seems to be harassing him and he is eating well. Might even name him soon!

Tank looks awesome as usual Brad.
Glad your new fish is being left alone.

Hi Brad

Your tank is still one of the best tanks out there.

Agreed.

Brad's set up is about as good as it gets.

His aquarium is also a bar!

Tom, yours is no slouch either.

both had some great planning and execution.

Unfortunately, my Female Naso tang has suddenly decided that she dislikes my male blonde Naso tang. What could make her decide this after 7 years of peaceful coexistance I will never know.

Anyway, she has been removed from the display and is living unhappily and lonely in my sump.

Anyone interested in purchasing her? $100. She is maybe 7" or 8". VERY healthy...about 7 years old. Eats pellets, frozen food and nori. Should b fine in a 200gal system, but probably nothing smaller.

Sorry to hear that! It would be tough to sell a fish after all that time together too!

Do you have any tank updates? How's it looking? (Photo bomb???)

Bump... I'm still here.
