Monochrome5 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Sad news. I came home from work last night to find my butterfly completely beat up. Torn off pectoral fin, broken dorsal spine, missing tail and several large bites and cuts. He's been relegated to my refugium to try and heal, but I have very little hope for him. I have no idea what decided it hated him, especially since he's so peaceful. None of my other fish show any signs of damage at all... Link to comment
neuwave Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Sorry about the butterfly. Link to comment
axia55 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 How do you like the 30"+ height of the tank? Debating this and a standard 120g (24" high). Link to comment
RC1313 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Wow, stunning tank! What do you take pictures with? Link to comment
Monochrome5 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Can't get the quote thing to work, but to answer your question axia55: I love the height! I'm 6'3", so the extra height means I can enjoy my tank without having to kneel down to view it. That was one thing I hated with my 75g. Just make sure you have strong lights and you'll be fine. And I use a Nikon D80 with a few different lenses (my favorite being a 105mm fixed macro). Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 So who beat up on the butterfly, did you ever figure it out? and did he make it? Link to comment
HVani Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 How have I missed this tank Link to comment
Monochrome5 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Best guess is the Bartlett's. He did not make it But, in great "circle of life" fashion, he did make an excellent meal for my anemone after he passed. Waste not. And wait till you see what just came out of my QT....

Monochrome5 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 I promise more pictures this weekend... growth has been phenomenal. New additions are out of QT and happy. I really can't say enough about how much I love the dimensions of this aquarium. It is really becoming a perfect tank. Link to comment

Monochrome5 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Damn it has been too long since I updated this... So much has changed!! It looks very, very different now... Maybe I'll bust out the camera and show it off this weekend! Link to comment
Asureef Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Need to. How's your potter doing? I've been trying with that wrasse, so far 0 for 2. Link to comment
Monochrome5 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Yeah if I can get out of work before my lights are off I'll get some shots. My potter recently passed after nearly 4 years with me. Came home to find him gone without a trace. Best guess is an anemone got him... Though he had been fine with them for quite a while.
