380/500 Gallon Build

[degrandfish]

I find myself mostly loading up the front row of rock and not the back. I can't freakin' reach the back row to place anyting lol. Pretty soon Ill have to climb in just to place corals. I want some bigger stuff like some caps in the back anyways and the smaller stuff in front.

A couple of the goodies placed in this morning...

By how large this thing was out of the bag, I imagine it is quite the size when it opens up

And the two little crabs found their anemone home right away.

I got stabbed from getting a little to close to the longspine. Wasn't quite paying enough attention lol.

And achillies and idol #2 are happy to be out of a bag in a box

 

[degrandfish]

I would say its happy for only being in the tank about two hours. I love it!

 

[degrandfish]

The fish love the grazer thing that arrived yesterday.

Mata taking great pictures as always

Tang Destroyer

Lamarcki is getting some nice streamers

Fowleri Recovering

I discovered why it's not opening like it was...

From the end this morning

Linckia up close and personal

And some new additions

Watanabei coming out of the cave where there is an emerald crab. He thinks it will clean him...

Beta can't hide from me

The other Mr. Personality

Colored up nicely in just two days. Was pretty brown on arrival

And the big boy Elegance

I moved the elegance this morning as that spot was too much flow.

I just brought home a few more fish for another QT tank, but here are some from over the weekend.

I think it is pretty sweet that both the achillies and idol are eating just about everything from flakes, to pellets, to various frozens, to nori which is soaked in selcon. Took live brine to like flip a switch to enable them to eat, and once they did within a day or two eat anything.

Just bored at the shop going through some old photos. A little comparison of the previous setup to the current one at roughly the same age.
The FTS is from about 2 weeks ago as it's the newst one I have, except for yesterday but it was in the am and all blue.

What do you think of the new seaweed "grazer", as opposed to the other clips used before? Looks pretty nice and more clean, but worth the $30 in your opinion? (I think that's the cost)

 

[degrandfish]

It works better and $25 is nothing really when looking at everything as a whole. Otherwise my rabbit fish just tears the entire sheet off and want it all to himself.

Just went through the entire build. I would love to have a tank this size someday. Not sure if the wife would go for it since she thinks my 48x24x16 is too big LOL. But anyway, nice job it looks great. Enjoy it.

Thanks, and so far I am enjoying it!
