Looks good! I’m anxious to see what you do on the aquascape with all that room front to back.

The space will allow me to rotate pieces more towards the front. Should be fun to aquascape.

That is a really cool tank dimension. I second looking forward to the aquascape plan. Any fish list in mind? I feel like you could have a few different schools of fish in that size tank.

So...is there unstated competition with each other's tank? I could see that with so many other hobbyists checking out each other's tanks...

I've already started on the fish. Got a Rhomboid pair, a pair of Tono wrasse and a female diamond tail flasher wrasse.

Right now I'm leaning towards tearing down my 190 and moving all the livestock over to the 150. So a purple tang, yellow tang, melanerus wrasse, fisheri angel maybe headed over. Or I may start a smaller tank that is actually in the house vs in the garage.

I may add a few more flasher wrasses, a few anthias, maybe a few more fairy wrasses.

That’s the way Vincent likes it. He wears shoes 2 sizes small.

Looking forward to seeing the updates on this build. How are you going to get any work done with a tank like that in the office lol.

Hey...that sump looks hella familiar! Where did you get it from? And it fits perfectly into that stand!

Not from you!

I have less than an inch space. Almost like it was made for it!

So why some in qt and other in ttm?

Ones in QT were already treated elsewhere. They went in the QT about 3 weeks ago.

 

[Coral reefer]

Will you qt the ones in the ttm once it’s done as well?

 

[iani]

Are you planning on qt'ing your coral going in as well? How do you assure you don't introduce ick if you don't?

 

[Vhuang168]

The fish will undergo another TTM/medication period before being introduced into the main tank.

Corals will have any plugs cut off before being introduced into the tank. The usual dips and flushes will take care of any residual water from source. Ick does not encrust on live tissue. Only danger here is water. CUC will be quarantined in a fishless system for 72 days before introduction.
