You have such a nice tank, one of the best on Boston reefers society

That Gigantea tank is going to be awesome. Are you going to do a clown harem?I was notified by my friend a couple weeks ago that the green gigantea is coming back to me. It has grown too large in his tank. I always knew one day, the green gigantea would be coming back.
The purple gigantea in my main tank is also getting too large and a little out of place. And I really want to get more room for for SPS. So, there's only one thing to do. Scrap the macro algae display and turn it into gigantea tank. Macro algaes been transffered to the sump fuge(where it used to be and belong).
Gigantea tank. I'm hoping to pick up the green gigantea this weekend. For reference of size, the tank is 48"x24"x13". Picture was taking the day after it was moved. It has expanded more.
A really stunning system. I love your variety of fish. I especially love the clear back glass against the wall. I’m sure it’s a lot to keep clean, but it looks great.Like I said, not much has changed. The gigantea was moved to its own tank and more sps frags were placed in from BattleCorals during the Black Friday sales event.
I did lose some hammer corals(always have issues with these) and hence the empty void on the sandbed. I will revisit this later when I think my LPS are thriving rather than surviving.
SPS frags are growing and seeing from improvement in colors. Fish are growing also. I added a Whitetail Bristle Tang that is doing spectacular with algae grazing. My favorite tang for sure.
Most important of all, rocks are now covered with coralines to make the tank looks like a reef tank rather than a santitized tank with rocks.
I will let this coast and update later.

Thanks Doug,looks great! The spacing on the SPS is good too - not so close so that they will be growing on top of each other
Picked up the bad boy green gigantea today. These guys have been with me since 2015 but were in my friends tank last year when I broke down the old tank. The green was wreaking havoc in his tank.
This is about an hour into the tank. The size should double that when it’s all settled.
Quick video of giganteas this morning.
To get the giganteas out, we had to put the 5G bucket into the tank and slowly find the rock the anemone’s foot is attached to and maneuver that into the bucket and lift the bucket out. Do the reverse to put the anemone in.Just... Wow! Both of them are huge! I assume they're pretty heavy when you pull them out of water during the move...
Makes sense and not surprising.To get the giganteas out, we had to put the 5G bucket into the tank and slowly find the rock the anemone’s foot is attached to and maneuver that into the bucket and lift the bucket out. Do the reverse to put the anemone in.
It would be too risky to try to get the anemone out of the tank this size by itself. The weight will collapse on it and causes unseen and fatal injuries to the anemone. You will also have a higher chance of getting stunk.
I bet! I would have a hard time holding off with those 2 in there! Even if they're small, 20+ clowns at once would be heck of a bioload.Finding Waldo anyone?
Placing a large order of clownfish has been on my mind. But I really should wait until at least February to see how the tank has progressed after 6 months of existence.
