Just footwear and talking, I did think I heard some snaps of the pliers cutting wire;Hilarious;Hilarious

Again the tank looks great and thing look like they are settling in with your system.

Thanks! Yes, everyone appears to be happy! I have been feeding Nori daily to try and keep my Blue face angel occupied. I only work 4 days/week so hoping he behaves himself the other 3 days.

I am sure you have a cam to watch the tank?

Hello

First, excuse me for my bad english, I am from France.

Your tank is very beautiful!

I have a similar peninsula project, and I have a question : How is your "canopy" designed ? Is he just sitting on the aquarium? (would a tank support the weight?) Or is it also hanging on the ceiling? Have you some photos of the inside of this canopy ?

Thank you in advance.

@Ortho281- I have seen pictures of the saltwater room you have all over the internet! Let me ask you a question, who hard plumbed everything for you as well as the plumbing for you Mixing station??
My new build has a mixing station that's about 25ft from my display. Just waiting on my Synergy sump my, CL-44...

@Ortho281 looking good doc. Have you tried any sticks yet?

Ortho281 · Jan 7, 2019

Update: My Blueface angel has been nipping at most of my LPS coral and I have lost several including my huge red Goni which I have had forever. I did try moving the affected corals to my QT at home but they still did survive. Since I am not planning on getting rid of the Blueface this will limit the selection of LPS that I can keep. I still have not placed any SPS corals but hopefully I can try some soon?

Thanks! No I haven’t. My Blueface angel has been nipping at most of my LPS corals and several has died including my huge red Goni which I have had forever. I’ve also been very busy but hopefully I can try some sticks soon?

Hi, I did most of the work myself except for building the actual fish room and cabinets which were built by my contractor.

Thanks! the upper cabinets are suspended from the furdown or ceiling and does not rest on the tank itself. I do not know if the tank can support the weight of a canopy that large but would advise against doing that. I would instead find a way to suspend it from the ceiling as I did. Good Luck!

Looks tight and smooth! I wish my dentist had a tank this dope in there office, where are you again? LOL...
Nice and clean build mate! I'm in the process of putting up a new SCA 150!

I was going to say something, about that!! I am sure you know this putting just about any Angle fish in a reef tank doc - you're taking a chance, no matter how much you feed them.
That's why I am a big Surgeon fish lover, just love how they swim around on wrecks and reefs around in their own environment.
