Look forward to seeing this come together.

That's one heck of a wrasse list.

Still waiting on adding a Rhomboid and Lineatus wrasse to my wrasse gang.

Thank you. How is your build. I’m way behind. Anytime I get free I try and work on the build.
Is a great start of wrasse. Lol. I’m spoiled and have two great lfs. One is TSM and other Reefco. Trying to get fish from remote locations is proven to be difficult

I truly hate you...LOL...JUST KIDDING!!!;Hilarious

I am waiting on TSM to get Rhomboids and Lineatus in. I will only buy from them, OR, QT myself. My tank is actually coming along, FINALLY, but this is your build thread, so lets talk about it.

Join the long list of haters lol

I probably will add a lineatus down the road. I lost my last one to spinal injury. Lineatus and rhomboid make a great color combo.

 

[SaltyT]

Yessss!!! I'm totally in!!

I'm included on the long list of haters hahaha so jealous!

 

[Fudsey]

Haha you didn’t have a choice not be in. Someone needs to help find and pick wrasse lol.

Thanks Keith.

You know I'm following along. Just sitting over here in iowa with my pompoms ;Hilarious

 

[Crabby48]

During free time I will slowly catch up to the tank today.
Started to plumb overflow box. I dry fit everything and make sure everything is fully seated. When glueing I make sure every joint is square and fill check firmest each time in case of an adjustment. I don’t like to use unions to help square up plumbing. Would rather white plumbing but had extra orange

Neptune cor20 use 1 1/4” union and tank was drilled for 3/4” bulkheads.. Wanted to keep it clean and not look like it was reduced. White3/4” pipe will fully seat in bulkhead making the reducer in elbow sit flush against bulkhead End product to come

Thanks Keith.

I'm following too! I love spending other peoples money, especially for wrasses! (I know a good source for healthy, fully quarantined (per Humblefish's protocol) Earl's wrasse.

Looking forward to your new build!

Thanks this will be fun.
Wow that didn’t take long to start enabling. I can’t get anymore until I start moving fish over. Starting with all dry rock and sand so it will take time. I don’t want to introduce Aip, bubble algae or anything like that. I’ll let that come with coral lol

Looking forward to your new build!

Thanks. I can’t wait until I’m down to one tank and the uglies are over. Big tank to keep clean

 

[Raege]

Your set up is quite impressive and I look forward to seeing it progress under your expert tending.
Any bets placed yet on when 215 will be two small for the wrasse collection? ;Hilarious

 

[boacvh]

Following the new adventure!
(With lots of envy on your new tank! )
