Any new FTS?

Hey Jim, didn't realize that you were over here on R2R either until now. Reeftank has come quite a ways since I last seen it. Seems that most of my favorite peeps are now over here...lol. I still have not pulled the trigger on a bigger 450g + system as our eventual retirement house will not accommodate one currently. So getting ready to raise the height of the 125g by 10" to make it a 187g or so.

Cheers, Todd

Hey Todd,

I have a few build threads out there, but R2R is one of my favs. Bummer about not getting the big tank you've always wanted, but a 187 is a good size!

Take care,

Jim

Tank is looking awesome Jim, everything looks really healthy. Love the radiant and orange back! always been two of my favorites.

 

[gimmito]

Thanks Brett...those are two of my favorite wrasses also.

Jim,

nice list.

you have 3 of the wrasses I plan on adding to my tank: orange back, radiant, and melanarus. I am also considering a yellow wrasse, and a pair of flame wrasses and lineatus.

 

[gimmito]

The orange back, radiant, and melanarus wrasses are some my favorite in the tank....plus the melanarus will help control flat worms. I like the flames and library's also....they are on my short list of fish to add also. I would like to do a trio of the flames.

 

[TJ's Reef]

Awesome Fish-list you have going in there Jim, Tangs and Wrasses plus a few more Tangs and Wrasses = GREAT minds think alike.... lol
I've been having a difficult time in acquiring another Radiant Wrasse for my Reef and wishing that I had never sold mine now. Only ones I've seen up this way in past 8-9 months have been large adults in very poor condition. Have picked up a couple beautiful C. cyanopleura females and male C. solorensis though and doing very well with other Wrasses in the system. Tank is looking just as great as I knew it would from when you first were putting it together.

Cheers, Todd
