The Aquascape is complete!!!
Over all im pretty happy. I want to have more open swimming space than most tanks (one reason why i went so big). The Rock wall really allows me to have my corals and still have open space. I worked on the wall Saturday and realized fast that i didnt have enough rock to finish the islands. So I had to pickup another 200 lbs of dry rock. I also put 8 five gallon buckets of sand in the tank. I might add a little more later as the sand creeps into the back of the rocks. Time for the pictures!!!! FTS Left side. Open water side Right Side. Island side Top View Port holes Finally got the last coat of epoxy on the top wood railing around the tank and the walkway. Starting to look really good in the fish room

video really helps put the size of the tank and amount of open space into perspective. Swimmers should love this.

What type of anthias? Tbh most of the anthias won’t shoal with numbers that small in a tank that size. Put 2-3x that amount in there and they will shoal. Plus it’s more chaotic for them and they are less likely to knock each other off

From experience I have to agree with d-man. I first introduced 8 disbar anthias for my 300g 3 months ago and they've been slowly dwindling. I'm down to 4 and looks like another female turned male, so that one will get picked off by the super male.... GRRR!!!
Outside of money lost, it's worth it to see how the hierarchy plays out.

Yeah. I agree, while my tank isn’t as big as yours (240) I have tried anthais is numbers and always had them dwindle down. I have heard that very frequent feedings through the day could help reduce the “fighting” but I have no experience with trying it.

Been A few months now. How is it coming along??
I plan on doing a 400g (72x48x28) in wall and this has given me some inspiration in doing it. Ideally I want a larger one but think that one will have to wait till I get a bigger house lol. Great work on this. |
