My new 220 gallon

[SwimsWithFish]

Lmao. Nah. I'm just too broke now to buy 300lbs of live rock. Figure I'll be taking my time adding to the two sides until they meet in the middle!

Cool!! I love the fish you got in there. Im a tang lover

 

[Jlsardina]

Lol. Me too. Best reef fish out there. I have a lieutenant and an orange on hold for me on Wednesday! Can't wait!

 

[Jlsardina]

Only a couple of tangs left on my wish list.

Doctorfish
Purple
Black
Regular female naso (since I have a male blonde)
And horseshoe

[Jlsardina]

Thanks! There's just a long way to go

GET AN ACHILLES!! I love em so much. Also Blue tangs are another fav

 

[Jlsardina]

I want an Achilles sooo bad. But they are expensive and I've heard so many horror stories about how they are hard to keep alive

 

[Gti_Leo]

hard but not impossible. they like to be in a high flow system

 

[coffeetwitch]

had to look that one up. wow what a pretty fish.

 

[Jlsardina]

Yeah. But I hear a lot of people not being able to get it to eat or it's just to hard to maintain. I'm waiting a few years before I even attempt him at 200$+ a piece

 

[swankyspoon]

Wow. Had to look it up too. The Achilles is gorgeous!

And your tank is amazing. I am very jealous!

 

[RJT]

Your tank looks great!! I just got a deal on a 180 and was wondering what size sump and what return pump do you have?

Also, achilles are hard to maintain. Naso, powders, purples, yellows and blacks are a lot easier,

 

[Jlsardina]

Thanks! I use a 40 gallon sump/refugium but will be upgrading to a 55 soon. As far as pump- don't know the exact model- but here's a pic

 

[coffeetwitch]

looks like a danner mag drive 18?

 

[Jlsardina]

Researching the pump- its a mag-12

 

[Jlsardina]

I believe. Lol

 

[RJT]

Thanks. I'm looking for a 55g now. Petco has them for $55 but I want to find a cheaper used one.

I am amazed how fast you got your tank up and running. You should be on Tanked.

 

[Jlsardina]

Lmao. I've been preparing for it for a while. I've had water going and sand as well. Plus 130 gallons and rock and substrate from an established tank. It helps to have good friends that work full time at a LFS. Lol

 

[Jlsardina]

Btw- Craigslist is your best bet. You can get a 55 gal for 20$ and just silicone in your own dividers in any way that you want.
