this one was fun to set up -but not a lot of fun to lug in ;) .it is a 150 gal allglass with a sealife systems 200 wetdry 90lbs of live sand and 60 lbs of live rock.right now I have a HumaHuma triger fish .a flame angle and 2 Big Eye Black Bar Soldierfish(squirrelfish)-after it cycles it will get some assorted tangs and either a fairy wrasse or a bananna wrasse.and there is more live aquaculture rock on the way.

hey dave...if you wanna speed up the cycling of the tank...go buy some mollies......they will live in saltwater.....but you need to introduce them to it slow......
thats how i used to set up my biological filter on new salt tanks....cheaper to loose mollies from amonia spikes n such over some high dollar marine species

them and guppies are brackish water fish in nature-so either will work in salt water.

yup yup.....
Did you paint the wall blue specifically for the effect? It's pretty cool looking through the water and seeing blue. (Have I made it obvious yet that I know nothing about aquariums...)

Yes -I painted the back of the aquarium to match the wall-normally I go with black as a background -but with the black cabinet I thought the aqua blue/seafoam green would look good.

Looks good Dave!!!!
Dave, appears to be much bigger than the one I saw when I was there. How big was it? This one looks massive.
