170G Build- Transfer complete!!!

[xtreme]

I have numerous tangs and have never seen any of them show interest in my zoas.

I have 4 Tangs and none of them have ever expressed interest in any of my zoos either.

As for stocking, I suggest a red coris wrasse! j/k!

Anyway, looks like you have a lot of open space so schooling fish would be cool. Perhaps barletts anthias?

Can't wait to see this new tank! Keep us posted. As for tangs, I enjoy my Regal for color and Naso for personality. There's lots of cool reef safe wrasses you can look into as well but you'll need to jump proof the tank.

Ahah Kien, thanks for the laugh spit a little coffee out on that one ! Hmmm, don't know where I heard that tangs ate zoas perhaps I should be asking are there any larger fish besides angels that will pick at zoas that I should stay away from?

Sorry Identification of the tang was on this page:

Never really had a definitive answer because he looks like 4 or 5 that people suggested to me, perhaps someone on here knows?

Thanks everyone, I'm so pumped for this tank I'm actually loosing sleep .
When I get home today I will post some more info and get a few photos of the stand.

Looks like a Tomini Tang, just hasn't developed the distinct yellow parts of the fins yet.

You might be right sphelps, I will grab some more photos of flash right away here so we can try and make a positive ID. What ever he is he eats nori right out of my hand and has to be the funniest fish I have ever watched so I'm happy to send him to the 170.

TANK IS BUILT!!! All i can say is WOW, if anyone's looking for custom tanks give Colby at elite a call. The tank has beveled edges, is completely polished, has a sweet over flow, Euro braced and has to be one of the nicest tanks I have ever seen in person! Can't wait to set it up.

Some photos:
These are the 2 tanks that will be torn down and transferred to the new one. Should be fun, 3 hours of aquascaping is like 3 hours of expensive sweedish massage for me !





The stand and its location:


Placing it here will work great as you can completely see the tank from 3 sides. The transfer should happen within the next week ! I will make sure to photo document the whole thing so everyone can see.

Here' some more photos of Flash Sphelps, any ideas? He eats like a pig and will practically eat everything. I think hes around a year old now and is just starting to develop a tail spike. At night time he goes ghost white during the day he's the colors pictured.

Updated with some photos on the front page. Added the Styrofoam/ plywood board under the tank.

Have you decided how long you will wait before you fill it? Looks great by the way!
