Tank is now here. Pics

I was thinking of adding a little live rock but not much. I am adding two more sharks or at least one more and need room for when these things are all full grown.

Have you considered stacking it up around the overflow to make it look like a natural pillar

 

[gafights]

Yes but need away to do it to take up minimal space

 

[Mrc8858]

How about cutting sheets of acrylic to size of the overflow and then epoxy rock rubble to the acrylic almost like siding plus you could keep it about an inch thick.

Diamond head blue spot ray. Doing great

Coming along nice that eel is a beast! What's the feeding process? Do u just throw in some crabs and nano fish and just sit back?

I started off tong feeding the shark but he is on his own and eats like a vacuum cleaner. The stingray ate the next day and the lion fish was already eating frozen krill as long as it is floating. What's it hits the bottom. He won't touch it. The eel has only ate in front of me twice with the to GS but he seems to be doing just fine. I thinks he is eating the leftovers when the lights go off.

Live rock added

Is that live rock from gulf view? Or Tampa bay saltwater? Looks their products.

 

[gafights]

It is shipped directly from Fiji. It is actually better than it looks but it will need a while for the color to come back.

Ok guys here is another update. Did first 100 gallon water change since I have had the tank. Nitrites were barely off and nitrates were at 20. After the change everything has settled back down to just barely over zero. I also added a uv staralizer to help kill bacteria in the water. Finally saw the zebra eel eat but I was getting worried because he would never come out to eat but he did not die so I figured he must be eating something.

Everyone's favorite crab is gone I sent him a new home. He was not coming out of his shell at all anymore due to the eel constantly wrapping around him like a rock. I was worried he would not make it so a friend of mine found a place for him.

As u can see I have added live rock and there is mountains of growth all over this thing. Two of these I need your hell with.

The first pic is an anemone I think. But what is it and is good or bad.

The next pic is something I just noticed tonight because I saw it moving. I was thinking a clam or something but I don't know. Just look in the dead center of the pic and see what looks like a rick with a crack in it.

Also added a lunar wrasse and about twenty hermit crabs and 10 more snails.

The rest of the pics are just the guys hanging out.

Shark is growing like a weed.

Great pics! The first pic is an aptasia and you should get rid of it. Use some aptaisia x or a paste of kalkwasser powder and water and shmear it on to kill it. They are pests and multiply quickly. With a system you size, you don't need them multiplying. The second is a filter feeding mollusk or bi valve. They are harmless and you should leave it. No worries on that.

Enjoy and keep posting pics, great tank!!
