That is one huge, beautiful tank. Have you had any problems like hair algae in your tank ? How many gallons is that tank ?

 

[Palmetto]

Garry,

I didn't see your Moorish Idol's in any of the pics...are they ok, or did they finally pass on?

I was just about to ask the same thing. Are they doing OK?

[Garry thomas]

It's around the 500gal mark. I started with 3 idols, one fed the carpet anemone, i seen him spit what was left out b****rd. thats got to go. one other just dissappeared. I think he was beamed up by alians or somthing. :lol: i'm left with just the 1, but he's awesome.

[brewerbob]

Hope you don't mind, I just stole your clowns for a wallpaper.

You take great pics too by the way.

 

[Leopardshark]

I´m just going to add a majestic and that´s all, 16 fish and now I feel a lot better now LOL

 

[Leopardshark]

BTW, does you moorish idol nips your corals at all???
I thought there weren´t reefsafe.

[Garry thomas]

Marco it never nips anything, but that does'nt mean they are all angels. All the fish in the tank are fed heavily quite a few times a day. It's like the blue queen i had, had her as a juv. She was an angel for around 14 months in my last and present tank. Then suddenly she liked the taste of sarophytons. She's now in a friends tank.

Thanks Gary,
in short your tank is AWESOME

 

[Garry thomas]

Today i got a coral that i've wanted, since i first started keeping marines. A tooth coral..CATALAPHYLLIA JARDINEI. Green with purple tips, and around 14 inchs across. It's trully awesome.

 

[SnoopDog]

Where do you get such large corals, everything I find is small and crappy.

 

[Markymarklar]

that's just not right. i know i'll never have anything close to that. very nice looking tank.

 

[Garry thomas]

These were small and crappy when i got these, but they grow well. Most of the soft corals you see were also in my last tank. a 7x2x2.5 GT :roll:
