So, Vetteguy did it again?? 400g Build Thread

[vetteguy53081]

I just Had to:
I spotted a clown tang and knew I had to replace mine with this beast. Has to be nearing 10" with Streamers. I ordered it from @NYAquatic which this is the 5th or even 6th tang from them. They are far from a disappointment and Mike is a great Guy !! The colors, size and markings are superb. If you haven't given @NYAquatic consideration - You Ought to !!

I’ve heard clown tangs are very aggressive and a lot of people rehome them. They are absolutely beautiful fish and yours is spectacular. I guess time will tell. Please update us on how it goes.

In trying to get this set up quickly, I missed the opportunity to take many more pics of this build but happy with results.
Dont worry- the 135g was taken down - I have no room for a bunch of tanks. . LOL
To fill those who follow me in- My house in Florida suffered some damage from recent Florida Hurricane. While not extensive, I cannot move in until roof properly repaired and entire floor replaced. I could not get down there right away to assess, and was able to talk to a repair person from the area once i arrived.
Problem is, I am now on a waiting list- Everyone is on a waiting list and he cannot get to me for a couple of months. I had no intention of taking the 135g down there (which is now for sale). So, I figured get rid of it before I get new move estimates and set the 400g and assure no leaks or surprises and since it will be 3 or more months- hopefully less- and Run the tank.

So I had the tank shipped up to me and here is what FedEx freight managed to do:

Studs were missing, plumbing busted and as you can see- Forklift damage and structural damage !!

So, time to measure up, Went to Home depot , got materials and time to get to work

lets get livestock out of the tubs and into tank once i did leak check

repairs done

happy engineer goby"

So sorry to hear about the damage. Hope you all are safe and get things fixed soon. Keep us updated.

Beautiful fish! Btw, how are things progressing with your home in Florida? Did you escape any additional damage with Idalia?

No - we have a structural engineer report and assessment and are making some decisions

Curious to know how long the leads are. Can this unit be mounted say 5-6 ft. away from sump?

Awesome Clown Tang -- very vibrant colors! Glad you can make all these guys get along.

I did a crazy thing this week on the Achilles - "Impulse buy, knowing that it will be (or should be) my last fish!"

What are the chances you hook up a 24/7 livestream of this gorgeous tank or at least do some YouTube videos?

Ive considered more than once, but time and staying still has been a challenge.
