500 Plus 109 Equal a Sexy Dual Build

[BrotherReef]

I am new to the r2r and wanted to post my two tanks linked together on one system.

The first tank is the main display tank. Dimensions are 96"L x 48"W x 24"H. It is acrylic with two external overflows and is 1 1/2 on all 4 sides and 3/4" as the base. Here is a pic after the tank was constructed.

The plumbing to the sump. The dimensions of the sump is 48"L x 28"W x 20"H.

Thanks Todd. I am sure there will be a few more added. I have a purple tang in the frag tank now. He will be the last addition to the tank after I add the rest of my tangs. Now I am concentrating on the smaller schools of fish like anthias and clowns.

Pyramid Butterflyfish are great schoolers. They add great white and yellow color to your tank.

I know but another reefer already has them in their tank. I wanna do something original.

Do the zoster butterfly a lot more rarer.
One of my favorite and they stay schooling are zebra gobies
Convict tangs and Mustard tangs i find stay schooling.
My Decorated rabbitfish stay together all the time. i have 5 in my 715 gallon and 4 in my 675 gallon.
Just my take of schooling fish. hope it helps.
Also after you got your unicorn tang and mimic. I had to go out and get one of each for my home tank.

Cool. I love my mimic and chocolate. I'll concentrate on the smaller fish as I know which ones I want.
