The deep ocean, Red Sea Max S650 in the evenings........

And now for the arrival of the new custom made 2000 litre system. The new and the old. You can see the reflection of the S650 in the glass. September 2019 the big build begins..... Page 70+

19th December 2020, exactly 1 years old...

Sunrise…… December 2021 at 2 years old

Here’s a few closer pictures

My view in the evenings as the lights dim and the systems go blue, it’s simply magical......

Here’s a video of the new system at exactly 1 years old, 19th December 2020. I hope you enjoy it.




Exactly 2 years old to the day, 19th December 2021

Hi Brian and thank you

The S650 (frag tank! lol) uses Hydra 26’s and the big tank Radion XR30WG4 Pro’s

 

[Zionas]

Nice systems you got. How long have you had your angels and how big are they? What about your pair of Bluethroat Triggers? Thanks.

 

[SPR1968]

Hi there and thank you

ive had the blue throat trigger pair for around 6 years and many of the smaller angels probably similar in the S650

The emporer probably 3 years. Hes changing to adult colours now.

 

[Zionas]

Sounds good how big are the Triggers?

Have you kept Asfur Angels if so do they get really big?

On your big tank the 4 radions pump out enough par for SPS? I have 4 G5 Radion Blues going on my 425g and was wondering if it would be enough?

Yes. Both tanks have SPS and they grow very well so you will be fine.

I will try and post some more pictures like i used to. Ive been busy with other things, nice english summer etc and some other projects at home so Ive been a bit ‘slack’ with the pictures !

 

[SPR1968]

There about 8 inches long now, and no to the Asfur Angels

 

[SPR1968]

Infact here you go an SPS Acropora Purple! Obviously I made that up because anyone who knows me will remember I just cant compute coral names! Lol

This is near the top in the big tank

Thanks my tank is 34" wide so that still shouldn't be an issue correct? its a 96" L - 34" W - 30" H

 

[SPR1968]

You will be fine, its only about 2-3 inches wider than mine

 

[Zionas]

I see do you expect them to grow any more? The Triggers. Which dwarf angels do you keep?

 

[SPR1968]

I don’t expect they will grow much more in their environment the Triggers

I have several dwarf angels, only in the S650, reagal, flame, some more Im just trying to remember them all! Lol

Take a look at the pictures on the first page and see if you can spot them

 

[SPR1968]

Oh, I’ve just checked the pictures and there all hiding in the rocks so you can’t see any! Lol

Ok
Flame
Regal
Coral beauty

And then
Emperor
Blue Face

All in the S650 - non in the ‘big house’

 

[Zionas]

Nice! Lol. Do you think Emperor and Blueface will outgrow the tank?
