Tank pic's

[zoalover34]

Finally got sand in the tank and the rockwork where i want it for now, the water has cleared up enough to get a decent pic.
Just thought i would share.

so what are u planning to have in it?

 

[zoalover34]

*GOLDFISH* *laughingc .. As far as stocking im still undecided but i would like to have a Powder Blue tang, Emperor Angel, Red Scooter Blennie, some clowns and a few others.. maybe some corals not anything to hard that requires alot of lighting b/c i don't wanna upgrade my lights!

It looks like a good start...

Looks nice so far.

How much rock is in there -- it doesn't look like it's a pound per gallon.

Also, if the rock is sitting on top of the sand, you'll need to make sure it's really secure so burrowing fish/critters don't cause it to fall.

As far as I know, emperor angels are not generally reef safe, although some specimins can be, I think some may nip at your corals.

there is only a hundred pounds in there now, to start with. I will be adding 50lbs or so more down the road. Some of the rocks are buried in the sand to make it more stable, so they are fairly secure. Some of the rocks are heavy for there size. Thanks for the comments!

ive heard powder blue's can be hard to care for..... aside from that looking good so far *thumbsups

 

[JeLeAk]

mmm mine is not hard to care for, i have just heard they are more prone to ich... as in its immune system isnt as tough as other more 'hardy' fish

 

[Dadstank]

That tank is ginormous.... yes I said ginormous(ji-nor-mous)
It looks great and can't wait to see it further down the road...er uh.. current? lol*thumbsup2

Nice tank bigger tanks allow for much nicer fish. I wish I could have a powder blue in my 55. Keep the pics coming.

 

[TRe]

only reason i say that about the powder blue is because every site ive read says the care level is difficult where as the naso for example is easy carelevel

These fish are very fragile

btw thats from saltwaterfish.com

Looks like a great start.

Emperor angels have been known to be "reef safe" in large tanks dominated by sps, but they can be a crap shoot, as lotus says.
