Pictures of another local Tamponians tank

Hello this is my 150gallon mixed reef tank. This tank is about to be replaced with a 225 gallon that I purchased from Mr.Ted. Enjoy. Also the powderblue is in qt being treated for internal and external parasites since this picture was taken. Enjoy.

you are out of room... Great looking tank

[screamincamaro]

Looks great. Always love the look of tanks that are grown out.

Looking good Brandon, let me know if you need help with the 225

[Mangodude]

Looks Incredible! :thumbsup:

Looks like you will be needing the extra space in the 225. Do you have any special plans for the new tank? ie. large school of anthias, more tangs, angel, etc.

If you decide to sell any frags please let me know :D

[brandon7491]

thanks Julian! I plan on doing a mixed reef for the new tank. I have some ideas of what i want to do that I will share when I make my build thread. For fish, i plan to do many anthias, chromis, peaceful damsels, gobys, possibly a few garden eels. I will add a unicorn tang and possibly a crosshatch trigger. This new reef will look alot better than the current one I have and will look natural as a real reef would .

What are the dimensions on your 150?

[jbird0420]

Awesome tank!!! :)


How do you keep your Tangs form nipping on your brain corals??

[brandon7491]

they just never have nipped at the coral. I feed them alot and it seems to be working. Dimensions are 48X24X30.

Brandon , Your tank looks great , but I must say it does look full . I think you really needed the 225 . You know you have to post pics of the new set up .

[brandon7491]

Thanks Ted, and heck yes I did need that 225. I will definantly post pictures of the new set up. I actualy got the lights up and running last week and now all i need to do is plumb the system. I will definantly post pictures of my progress.

Great looking reef. Man that powder blue did look sick. Let us know if he pulls through. Was he easy to catch?

[brandon7491]

yea he was easy to catch because he would just come up to the nori, unfortunantly he did not pull through. When I first purchased him he had an internal parasite that i had treated in qt. A few months later he had seem to got it again. I resumed the same treatment but it was too late.

Great looking tank, and all those tangs in a 4' tank is a feat! I can't get more than 2 in my 4' 90g

[bvert38]

What are your plans with the 150 once you get everything moved over. Are you keeping or selling it?

[brandon7491]

I will sell the 150gallon tank.

[acro-ed]

Is the term used in the thread title really how people from Tampa refer to themselves/ each other....lol.

Nice tank!

I love the little Scoly farm in the bottom left corner!

[Jmonks]

Some of those corals look very familiar :)

[brandon7491]

lol yea julian they do!!! Im thinking about completely starting over and just going all sps actually.

[reefrubble]

We want to see some pics , of the new set up .

[brandon7491]

hahaha I have not done anything else with the tank yet except for re wire the lights. When my finals are done then I will really start the push. I actually picked up 100 or so more lbs of mature lr from a local guy who was tearing his tank down. I cant wait to post some pictures of the new tank and build

[acronutty]

Dude, thats WAY TOO many tangs for a 36" aquarium. You need at least 500 gallon aquarium for those. Look it up on liveaquaria

[acronutty]

Haha, just kidding. Looking nice.

[m&m1318]

:inlove:beautiful aquarium

[brandon7491]

Thanks for reminding me acronutty i have not checked liveaquaria in a long time. The last time I checked they said I could keep those tangs in a fish bowl, so i put 6 in a 150 that is 48" long. I wonder where my unicorn tang and french angel are... hmmm.... where are they? Im going to go pick up a huge sail fin tomorrow that is about 1ft, they say its "show sized" what ever that means... but like my gay friend always told me, the bigger the better

Yet another tank pic to remind me how a reef tank is supposed to look. Nice tank.
