And the corals they have in there are not the cheap stuff either.that might be worth $300K in total, which is shocking. a reef worth the size of a huge house.
A teacher at a high school has a set of tanks one very large and wholly Molly the large one has giant Acropora colonies. Got alot of pics, they're on and older phone somewhere. Other than that I have a unique tank, lots of corals and for fish, triggers, grouper, broomtail wrasse, and the icing on the cake a Japanese Dragon Eel.
By the way, the NOAA link on your posts is dead. I guess they moved the page.that fungia wants to eat the brain coral above it, every day its stretching to take him right in lol. one day that fungiid will win, he'll just crawl up there and eat the brain coral.
Imagine trying to get a fish outta there.....I've seen some phenomenal tanks, but the one that fascinated me was a local club member who had a fourteen foot long tank. Not very wide, not very deep, not all coraled up with sps, but nice and long. And what I found fascinating was watching tangs speed up and down the tank at full speed with no obstructions. After seeing that, you'll realize why a tang should never go into a small tank. It's like owning a Lamborghini and only driving it up and down your driveway.
EDIT TO ADD:
I made a mistake. In going to find a picture, I discovered I was off by two feet. The tank was only 12 feet long. Here it is shortly after it was set up.
That's crazy the got that to work!!no other one on the planet:
ever seen a reef tank that does not require topoff any number of days it runs, a zero, 100% contained evaporation reef tank? nope, we have not.
I ran this at .023 for three years no topoff before selling it at a trade show.
look at the rear image for the technique
thats a sealed glass lid pressed onto weatherstripping by the weight of the canopy.
the lines for heater, and pump, are cut/ran through sealing grommets in the lid/and spliced back cleanly for a pass-through
you can imagine how that would stop all evaporation
(well how do you deal with Co2 and O2)
check out them clues.
the only non evaporating reef tank in the world is 20 year old tech.
once PNW catches onto that sometime soon/I bet there's a cool way to run their micro reef as sealed.
I was never in it to make money that's for sure. reefing is a suckhole that takes all mine.
First tabletop acropora ever grown in a pico reef, half gallon
grown in two inches of front to back depth with about 13 species of corals give or take
those are not frag plugs, they're adhered given time and happiness. all of them.
thats about 2003
i dont know them but i used to know rod and the zero edge aquarium people pretty well... i still have some of the origional zero edgeshey who made reef roids I want to read up on them. it works great in my vase.
That's such an amazing-looking tank!!This tank at WWC in Orlando is amazing. When I was there I spent most of my time looking at it.
IMHO - your mistake was that tangs will dart from hiding place to hiding place - I have 3 in a 5 foot tank - and there is no darting. This tank has 0 hiding places - and 0 security zones - so to speak. 14 feet is nothing compared to miles of reef. It's about hiding places - and territory. You would see the same thing in a 20 foot tank with no hiding places - and perhaps suggest that tangs need a 20 foot tank.
