Wisco Tank/Build Updates

[Zach B]

I'm really hoping to get a mandarin pair as well to finish off my tank. I think they would make a nice final addition

A couple more shots, I think this is my favorite view surprisingly

Looks awesome! What’s your fish list currently?

Looks awesome! What’s your fish list currently?

Thank you! My fish list consists of a blue tang, yellow tang, yellow eye kole tang, zoster butterfly, 3 lyretail anthias, 5 blue/green chromis, 4 Pajama cardinals, 3 zebra barred dartfish, snowflake clown, mocha storm clown and a canary blenny. There are also a couple of sea stars I've had for about 2.5 years, same with a coral banded shrimp. As of yesterday I also added a blood shrimp

Sounds awesome! How big is your tank?

 

[Zach B]

The tank is 150g with a 75g sump. Total volume somewhere around 175-180 after displacement

That one is tough... I'd have to say my butterfly surprisingly has the most personality but my favorite I think is the kole tang. It was super shy for the first month or so but now greets me at the tank, obviously associating me with food but still very cool. I am very lucky to be able to keep these fish

Cool! I’m working on a stocking list for my upcoming upgrade from 46g to 80g, so always looking for ideas!

80 gallon lagoon upgrade - stocking plan

Hi all - So my current tank is a 46 gallon bowfront (take a look by clicking on my build thread badge!), and I’ll be upgrading soon to an 80 gallon 48” long x 24” wide x 16” tall tank. My plan is to have it aquascaped a little more open than my current tank so there is more open swimming room...

I may have got lucky but my biota yellow tang and I'm sure wild kole tang get a long really well, for now. They swim together all day and copy each other

That’s exactly what I’m hoping for with a yellow tang and bristletooth tang!

What’s the footprint of your tank?

My purple and hippo tang are buddy's right now the hippo likes to follow the purple

I was wondering for anyone that has a uv sterilizer how do you have it plumbed. I have mine temp plumbed tank to tank but looking for what others have.

I have yet to hook my smart pentair up but I will be plumbing it in-line after my return pump for algae control. I believe @dmy535 has a UV setup. I think a couple others as well

I am running a 57W Aqua UV inline with my return pump. Hard plumbed with 1".

Return pump --> Flowmeter --> UV --> split to returns

 

[dmy535]

Yes, I have a UV on mine. I use it’s own pump though. Not hardlined in.

 

[Viperdragon]

Thanks all mainly using mine for ich management cause I really don't have room for qt set up so I think I'm going to find a good external pump for it. I bought a jebco and it leaks so it is in my display right now till I get one.

They are awesome fish! Whatever you do, don't get them from biota tho. What a rip off.
