I like beautiful tables also. Hycanthus or just anything tabling. Anyway fish??? Never thought about it. Always love what I don't have. I'm working on one day getting personatus masked angels one day. Still would lobe to breed the peps. I love my conspic, gem tangs, bandits, clarion, and even some of my butterfly's. In my next tank I'm going to have schools of semilavartas.

Nice tanks and congrats. I always love semilarvatus and dream of keeping few of them together one day but what I really love to do one day is to have schools of PBT....

Ya. Powder blue schools are on my list on my new 14k gallon build

Congrats on the TOTM Andrew. Well deserved. The mix of SPS and fish you have been able to maintain is amazing. Looking forward to watching the new tanks develop. Go big or go home, right!!

Nice, I forget how big was Joe Y's system out in Riverhead. He has schools of PBT in there. Good luck with the build.

hedgedrew · 06/05/2014, 08:31 PM

Thx acesq. All my life I have lived by that modo. Not necessarily big but all the way in or go home. The weight lifters say go heavy or go home. So this is it. Well see. Have tons to still figure out. Thx so much.

hedgedrew · 06/05/2014, 08:36 PM

Monepora. I Havnt seen Joes tank in like 6 months but I heard he switched out many of his big fish and angels to more reef safe environment. Wrasses and anthias etc. Not sure what he did with powder blues if anything. I will go visit soon to see what's doing out there. I also heard he chopped his reef up and mad it more open. I started that project prior to macna and showed the video. But I heard he went big time further. Keep you posted

This is an amazing aquarium I absolutely love it well done I'm sure it has been such hard work but looks like it's all paid off . Truly fantastic !!

hedgedrew · 06/07/2014, 01:52 PM

Thx heather. Appreciate it

ryanrid · 06/07/2014, 07:08 PM

Very impressive tank/s. What temp are you running having cooler species mix in these systems? Eg bandits and conspics

hedgedrew · 06/07/2014, 08:24 PM

Ryanrid. I run all my tanks at 76 77 max. Pep tank at 74 75. Conspic and bandits are fine at that temp.

footballdude2k3 · 06/07/2014, 10:38 PM

Breathtaking tank, with so many "alpha male" fish in here, do you ever have any issues with aggression that you notice, or is this big enough that everybody has their own place?

hedgedrew · 06/07/2014, 10:57 PM

Achilles goes after powder brown all time. Powder blue goes after morish idols. Believe it or not most of angels behave. Had to take an adult emp out I raised as a baby cause he got to be a bully. But those 2. Achilles and powder blue can be mean. This Achilles is reason why my conspic is in different tank. Last one he harassed. Must be that brown and yellow color like powder brown

schattke · 06/08/2014, 06:57 AM

Stunning tank Andrew, Stunning.
