New Tank

[ram74]

Hi all,

Its been a while since I have posted here, but I recently purchased a 265 gallon perfecto aquarium, and getting rid of my 180. I should have the tank this Thursday. I'm doing black sand with a black background and plenty of live rock, as soon as the rock cures I'm considering adding a couple of yellow tangs and a flame angel. Other than that I'm not sure what else I'm going to be adding. I was curious to see if anyone has any pics of saltwater aquariums with black sand.

I dont have any but I have a friend that has one and she said they hard to keep clean.

Thanks for the imput, but I'm very eager to get it up and running because I never had a tank with black sand and I'm curious to see what it looks like.

That's not my tank its just one that I knew of that used black sand. I'm pretty sure it's a nano but it gives you an idea of what it looks like.

Did your tank already cycle? You may want to rethink those damsels because they can get nasty to newcomers.

I used everything out of my 180 except for the sand, and 80 gallons of water from a friends system. I didnt put the damsels in ther thanks to the gf for suprising me with them.

Well the sand looks pretty awesome in there. The colors of the fish really stand out against it!

That is a lot of damsels!

Very nice looking. Let me know how the black sand does for you.
