Hi Chris,

Congratulations from Belgium for your gorgeous tank!!!
Sure it is a source of inspiration for me.
I am also an anthias lover.
Hope to see more picts soon

Regards

John
 
I have read in the thread Chris use the same camera than me... Canon eos 5d mk2.

Chris,I am planning to lauch a new tank dedicated to anthias. I always heard it was more succesful to add at least 5-6 pieces of the same anthias at a time, and avoid to mix between species. Seing your tank, it must be also possible to add 3 pieces at a time and make a mix...

May I have your experience about that? I was planning to ad first some nemanthias carberryi, then pseudanthias flavoguttatus, then maybe some tuka.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

John

Hands down the sickest pictures I've seen in the hobby in 10 years. Shame he's moved on.
 
He has not really "moved on" just keeps most activity on his local club forum
 
Love your tank Chris, wonderful work. I'm a huge fan of the Anthias such beautiful fish. Love, love your tank if your ever in Maine come build my tank!
 
Fantastic tank! I am just starting a build and I was very interested in how you like the tall pieces of rock? I have a piece that would be ~6inches from the top of the water. It looks great in your tank.
 
He doesn't love us anymore. :(
 
Gosh, it's been 5 months since I've updated this thread! I'm focusing on starting another tank but I do have a small cache of photos from my build thread that I'm going to repost. Enjoy!

Starting with one of my favorites. A tiny Asterina on the glass; a Bicolor Anthias gives the background some interesting coloration and provides some scale.
