210g Build Thread....

Thanks ChangDrix and Grins. The coral beauty (Lilly) is fantastic. She has buddied up with the blenny for some reason...they seem to be quite fond of each other. she doesn't bother anyone else in the tank, but she does tend to patrol the caves and chase the chromis out for some reason in the evenings. It's bad for the chromis because they dive into the rocks when I stick my arm in the tank...I can always tell exactly where the cb is because the chromis pop out one at a time. Kinda like Whack-a-Mole. But everyone calms down when the lights go out.
 
sounds like a fun tank to watch!

sorry bout not answering back, been a bit buisy, but thanks for the full tank shot, looks real nice, keep up the good work, or you know what will happen:devil::) really looking forward to seein its progress.:grinyes:
 
Robbie,

I just read through this thread. Very nice setup… awesome story! Any new additions/plans for new additions to the tank?
 
Robbie: really nice CB, your tank is really taking off. I'm thinking you just need some vegetation in there. Everytime I see a new post on this thread I have to immediately look at it. I think you got us all hooked from the start of your thread and the background on what brought you to saltwater. Thanks for sharing this and getting lots of pics posted.

Thanks! I am waiting for a sixline wrasse and some anthias from my LFS, but it's taking a while. I'm in no hurry, though. I would like to add some more cardinals and maybe another angel (rusty, maybe?) and maybe another pair of clowns, and a tang or two. I really haven't thought too much about it. Usually I see what the LFS has in and run back to my books (or this forum) to see if it will get along with everyone else. Right now I am thinking I need to increase my CUC since all I have is 6 astreas snails and about 25 hermits. And a shrimp.
I also am thinking about building a sump w/refugium to replace my trickle filter, but for now everything seems to work fine.
I am open to suggestions for stocking.....

Thanks for watching it! I am glad to share my progress with this tank, especially since I'm sure I wouldn't have been this successful without this forum. The help I have received in setting this monster up has been priceless. I never would have thought I would enjoy a marine tank this much and probably never would have given it a try had it not been for the fact that I couldn't bear to see the tank sold. Strange how things work out.
What kind of vegetation? Are we talking about corals and mushrooms and stuff? Grins got to you, didn't she?:D:D
