BK's 205 gallon Wrasse Hole

[AngryOwl]

Did you go starfire glass? I just got a quote for a custom 210 from Planet Aquariums. Great price IMO. Also how long did it take from ordering to delivery? Great job so far!

No, this is standard glass. Personally, my last tank was starfire and I couldn't tell enough difference to justify the price increase and I decided I'd rather put extra money into the eurobracing instead. I want to say from ordering to delivery was around a month.

Agreed. Thanks for the info, I'll be following along, I'm a wrasse addict! I love wrasse ;Hilarious

@AngryOwl thanks! Wrasses are the best. Be sure to post up your build once you get it up and going.

For an unknown reason the pink margain didn't make it, rhomboid is eating daily and has gone through one Prazi treatment.

Dang...hate that. You get them through LA?

 

[bknapp]

Yeah, LA. I got my refund but still sucks.

I gotta say, after seeing it in person Sunday, I'm in love with this setup!

Thanks @Stretch I've got a few kinks to iron out couple things to change then hopefully it's ready to roll.

Any pictures of the aquascape? Curious how the ceramic looks.

Setup looks awesome so far.

 

[bknapp]

Thanks @dragon99 I'll try and upload some pics tonight.

Here's a few quick pics of the scape, glass is a little dirty and diatoms have set in. The golden rhomboid is still in quarantine and is in full therapeutic copper.

And there's Bentley since today is #NationalDogDay.

I'm starting to think that the two Gyres will be more than sufficient on this tank so I'm considering selling them off I'm also going to upgrade to the Neptune ATK here in a few weeks.

That aquascape is really cool man. I normally don't care for the branched rock look but this tank is going to look awesome grown in with coral and looks great already. nice use of negative space and depth

 

[bknapp]

Thanks @vegamedic

Hi Bknapp, very nice build! How do you like the build quality on your tank? Thinking about getting a quote from them.

Thanks @Skard I'm very happy with the build quality from Planet and the turn around time was fairly quick.

Finally installed the Neptune ATK and I keep having an issue with it, here's the thread:

Finally decided I'd waited long enough and took the plunge and added my first corals after a nice 40 gallon water change and a dip.

Glass is a little dirty. My only remaining fish from the LA order I'd put in is still in QT currently in full therapeutic copper and should be ready to add to the DT soon.

Couple more coral pics, not the greatest but not terrible for cell phone pics.

I added a GHL 2.1 four pump doser and with the amount of room the Synergy TS44 takes up I had to get a little creative of the placement, I haven't found a nice four compartment fluid reservoir so for now I plan on making containers from Voss water bottles.

Awesome looking tank. Just curious how hard was it to get off your trunk and onto the stand?
