JDigital Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 What are those two black rods standing straight up? Are those to hold the light? Yea it's part of my light rack.. Just didn't have the rack part up during that pic. I want to see this tank so bad. I love shallow tanks.

Colione Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 shallow tanks are the best! Following along... Link to comment

n0rk Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 You are gonna love those dimensions, man. Should be a nice change-up from what you've got! Link to comment
JDigital Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 shallow tanks are the best! Following along... Thanks You are gonna love those dimensions, man. Should be a nice change-up from what you've got! Ya, I am getting a bit antsy for it... planning to have it quite open for swimming, lots of small fish.. I've found that larger tanks look more natural with smaller fish rather than the big boys... So that's something I will try, however I do plan to have a Powder Brown in this tank. Link to comment
demonclownfish Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 You should get a pair of mandarins for this, a school of anthias too. Link to comment

I've found that larger tanks look more natural with smaller fish rather than the big boys... So that's something I will try, however I do plan to have a Powder Brown in this tank. That was my plan for my new system, I think a bunch of smaller fish schooled make the tank look much bigger than it actually is, rather than crowding a bunch of big fish in. Plus, the smaller fish add a lot of dynamic movement to a tank which is a great effect. What other stock do you have in mind? Link to comment
JDigital Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Demon - Not sure I will have enough LR in the display for 2 mandarin. but time will tell.

Plus, the smaller fish add a lot of dynamic movement to a tank which is a great effect. What other stock do you have in mind? Just an idea... 3-4x Pseudanthias squamipinnis 2-3x Nemateleotris magnifica 2-3x Pseudochromis Aldabraensis 1x Opistognathus randalli: 1x Halichoeres chrysus: 1x Centropyge potteri 1x Centropyge bispinosus (currently have): 2x Paired Amphiprion Ocellaris (currently have): 1x Acanthurus japonicus: 1x Acanthurus triostegus: Link to comment
Nemo Niblets Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Convict tang is sweet.. Link to comment
Boomboy Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Halichoeres chrysus i love that fish. Link to comment
JDigital Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Maybe.... just thinking... visually. 1-2 Serranocirrhitus latus: 4-5x Apogon leptacanthus: 1x Ecsenius stigmatura: 1x Ecsenius midas: Link to comment
Nemo Niblets Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I think the midas is a great eye catcher. Beautiful, and really neat to watch them swim. A cardinal school is neat too. I also love lots of schools of little fish. A flame angel, maybe? Or even a flame wrasse... Link to comment
SmittyCoco Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 NOOOOOO on the Potters !! Yesssssss on the Midas ! Link to comment
n0rk Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Personally I'd be wary of the Potter's and the Coral Beauty together, as well as the Convict and the Japonicus. I've heard too many instances of both going sour, and comparatively very few success stories. Also, I tend to hear of people struggling to keep less than about 9 of the Threadfin Cardinals, they seem to enjoy picking one another off below that number. No problem there though, they look gorgeous in a larger grouping. Nice list overall, mate. Link to comment
