sharks in their new home!

dmopar74 · 04/22/2012, 03:38 PM

finally made the move to my sharks new home today, an 8x3x14" tank from a standard 180. it was well needed as my white spotted bamboo is about 26". there also is a 14" brown banded bamboo and a volitan lionfish in there. all the smaller fish went into a 54g as im tired of loosing fish to the shark, the big boy ate my harlequin tusk as well as some others.

please excuse the pics, its hard to take good ones of such cryptic fish.

I think I'm more impressed with the super clean sand lol

I notice not much rock....what kind of filtration you rockin under the hood?

dmopar74 · 04/22/2012, 05:07 PM

nothing much, the rock, a 40g sump with socks, modified asm g2(upgrade soon hopefully),and some ceramic and glass bio media in the sump. i hever have had any ammonia or nitrite issues and water changes are my friend in the nitrate department.

You have half my tank. meaning I have a 8'X3'X2.5'

Dragon moray ki · 04/22/2012, 07:59 PM

I really like your tank. I hope my sand stays that clean in my new 535 build.
