pandabehr Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 New pics! I added an awesome orange carpet and a pair of Red Saddlebacks...I threw in a Domino Damsel for some contrast. Pretty cool, they are all hosting the anemone together. So far I have a brilliant blue crocea and a small orange deresa. I have two squamosa clams coming in tomorrow. Link to comment
deacon hemp Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Awesome tank man.....ive never seen a RED saddleback,are they rare?Could you maybe snap a close up? Link to comment
flick Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 WOW...beautiful tanks! What are you feeding those false clowns?...there the beautifulest!..lol Flick Link to comment
pandabehr Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 I make my own foods, along with feeding baby brine. I use a few diffrent types. I used table shrimp ground up in a processer (Shells Included) fortified with Selcon, Garlic and a small amount odf lemon juice (Vitamin C). I also use beef heart processed with selcon and cod liver oil. I toss in some spirulina flake and cyclopeze about once a week. Red salddlebacks are also known as Fire Clowns (Amphiprion ephippium). They are not very common. I get them from Pro Aquatics in Puerto Rico... Link to comment

Whitten Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Stellar tank man, reminds me of the one at the Waikiki Aquarium...and oh man is it sweet. On the sides of the tank where the water overflows to they put smoothed over River stones to kinda break up what was going on as well as give it some cool texture. Link to comment

Casabubu Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Looking awesome man! Love the saddleback clowns! Link to comment
deacon hemp Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Tank looks killer,could you explain how you connected the bulkheads inbetween the tray and the display? Like is there 2 sets of bulkheads connected to pass though the tray?Maybe an upadated pic? Did you upgrade pumps yet?I'm toying with the idea of this tank design on a small tank that i have thats drilled already in the bottom. Link to comment

fishfry Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 very modern looking There is also a tank like that at the Waikiki Aquarium, and the Los Angeles Zoo's new sea lion exhibit also overflows over the acrylic windows like that. Link to comment
danferd2002 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 hey how do you clean the sides, when its overflowing like that. Link to comment
pandabehr Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 hey how do you clean the sides, when its overflowing like that. I installed an american dj switch box on the side of the stand. When I want to clean it I simply switch off the box a goto town! It is also cool to switch off the box for a few to get a nice side view! Link to comment

jafoca Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 PICS PICS PICS!!! What is your estimated total water volume? Seems like your overstocked, but with all that livestock living just fine... seems like you have some kind of balance going on! I want to know how you do it! Are you running a skimmer?
