The 210 tank build
- Thread starter mnat
- Start date
So annoyed that we did not get it earlier. It really is perfect with how it is cut and the quality is amazing. I would highly recommend their work, you are just going to wait a while on it. I know I could not build something of that quality.
Correct, we got them directly from Karen. They are doing really well for us.
Wow, we haven't updated this thread in almost 4 years. Holy heck.
So, the tank is still running. Definitely has gone through some ups and downs. We were back to growing SPS after losing the bandit angels, only to have a battle with dinos. Two blackouts later (during COVID no less), and we seem to have rounded the corner. I'll see if I can get some photos later this evening for a very overdue update.

Mike,
If the dinos ever return, here's a potential cure: Dino Cure ?
I'm trying it on one tank now...

The dinos did come back, but a second treatment appears to have been successful (we think).
How is the tang doing?
Thank you! We added a pair of Joculator angels last summer, not the same but still pretty.
That project looks great. Hope to see more pictures as the acuarium come along...
Good luck !!!
Good luck !!!

Nikki,
The tang is physically fine, but a little flighty, probably caused by being the only fish in a 90G.
Bob
I don't think I've every heard a fish described as "flighty" before. That made me laugh

Hi Nikki,
My aging cerebral cortex occasionally has problems finding exactly the "right" word, which is what some people on the dyslexia continuum frequently experience. I still haven't found the word I was searching for when I used "flighty"- I just recollect it probably also started with the letter "f". I'll let you know what the word is if I ever connect to it in my brain. People on the continuum with the same problem typically find a word with a similar, but imperfect meaning. In my case "flighty" is actually an interesting word substitution, meaning, in effect, that the tang takes flight whenever it sees me. Hmmm... maybe the word "flighty" will make it into the reef aquarist's lexicon!
Looking forward to you hosting the May 2021 meeting...

Alright, trying not to let 4 years lapse between posts and trying to keep this up to date. After the dino battle we seem to be in the clear. The much longer blackout seems to have done the trick, we were also dosing the algae barn supplements to help along the way. Some of the corals that were in rough shape have come back. and are even starting to grow again. Having a little battle with aiptasia but I think that is part of owning a reef tank. Picked up a copperband butterfly and some peppermints to help keep it in control and they seem to be doing a pretty good job with the little guys. Have to hit the tank with some F aiptasia, that stuff does work for the bigger ones and hopefully the natural predators will keep in under control. Will post some pics in a little bit.
