Vincent's 1st Big Tank

Any spot for clam?

I'll find one. If not, goes on the sand. I'll be running 3 AP700s so I doubt light will be an issue.

Good job on the aquascape Vince. While I don't have much faith in your anemone staying put, I think you did a damn fine job not making things too tall because corals are supposed to go in that unused top portion!

All credit goes to JesterSix. I told him what I wanted n he made it happen!

Thank you for the opportunity to work on this build - had a blast! I even made it home before MIdnight...LOL

Well you still had to supervise and telling him your vision, so you get some sort of architect credit for that

Looking good!

Is it plumbed yet?

 

[Vhuang168]

No, I'm reworking the scape a little.

The rockscape has a nice flow, nice clearance for fish to swim underneath and a natural looking distribution. Nice work!

Started adding sand. Washing a 120lb of sand takes a loooooooong time!

In the meantime, took some pictures just to document what's in the other tanks currently.


1 of my Jawbreakers. Got this one from fellow BAR member.

Moved my emerald crab so it's been flourishing in the 16g. Might move it bk

How deep a sand bed did the 120 lbs. get you?

 

[Vhuang168]

So I finished putting in sand yesterday. I put in about 130lbs of sand and my sand bed is just shy of 3".

I also purchased the 1st of my cuc as I'm getting diatoms and some green algae already.

Some scalet hermits, astreas, turbos, black trochus, margaritas, emeralds and 2 fighting conchs.

Together with the cuc I also bought a quad of purple queen (tuka) anthias, a pair of fathead anthias and a tomini tang. All are in TTM after a formalin dip last night. Lost 1 tuka last night (I was expecting that as it looked bad at the shop but I had to buy all 4 as they are priced that way though I got a discount because I pointed out the sick fish) and another this morning.

Hoping the others come through.

That sucks, those tuka were pretty. Now I'm debating between them and lyretail.
