120gal mixed predatory reef tank

I wanted some decent pictures of the clams so I dug out my scuba camera for some top down underwater pictures. Out of the 100 these turned out okay. The Maxima was from J&L's Tahiti shipment last fall. While I was at it I caught the tomato clown trying to asexually reproduce again.

Nice shots. Love the clams. And poor clown. lol.
PS, do you need anymore shipping coolers?

[whatcaneyedo]

I've got a decent stash of coolers right now but I'm always willing to take more if they're available.

Do you still have the Elegance coral? I don't see it in the last pics that you posted.

[whatcaneyedo]

Yes I do actually. The butterfly fish started picking on it after a month or so in the display tank so I had to move that piece down to my frag trough. I have two of the three frags of elegance that I cut from my original colony. I sold the third piece which died shortly after in its new owners tank but that was a year ago. Its still not an easy coral to keep but I have had it for over two years at this point. I also had to build this cage around it and a few other coral because I've got a powder blue tang in my frag trough that also likes to nip at coral.

I just went through your entire thread and your tank is stunning! I'm debating lion fish and eels and this thread is both inspiring and informative. Do you still have the Fu man chu?

[whatcaneyedo]

Yes I still have the fu manchu as well. Its been very rewarding being able to keep a fish that so often doesn't do well in captivity and isn't commonly kept. The LFS that I bought it from had already weaned it onto frozen food so getting it established in my tank was actually pretty easy. If you do decide to keep lion fish and eels do note that you probably won't be able to keep crabs or shrimp and you definitely won't be able to keep small fish.
