verde_ad · 11/03/2006, 02:24 PM

the copper and regal and purple tang and damsel are in my 150gal

the wrasses and firefish are in my wifes 75gal

verde_ad · 11/03/2006, 02:33 PM

Thanks. I am going through a stocking list for my deep water 200gal and was thinking it would be cool to have some of these smaller deep water fish in with a few bigger fish.

It may be a bad idea though. Do you think your firefish would hold up with say some deepwater butterflys and angels?

petoonia · 11/03/2006, 02:39 PM

How about some full tank shots?

I don't know about the butterflys and angels, the firefish are doing fine with our bolder wrasses so maybe?

they would need a good hiding place and maybe put them in first so they feel more comfortable.

sure

My 150gal

My wifes 75gal

petoonia · 11/03/2006, 03:02 PM

OMG!!!!!! They are gorgeous. I am setting up a 75G soon I hope it looks half as good as that!!!

Is the 150G bare bottom?

makoJ · 11/03/2006, 04:25 PM

Yes the 150gal is a BB tank.

Thanks for the compliments!

petoonia · 11/03/2006, 09:37 PM

Which do you like better bare bottom or sand bed? I've been debating whether or not to put a shallow sand bed in my new 75g, I just cant decide. I have a BB 65g now, I like being able to clean everything off of the bottom, but I really like the look of a sandbed as well.

Sorry, Im just full of questions!!

makoJ · 11/03/2006, 11:51 PM

I personally like the look of sand but in my sps tank I wanted tons of flow without the sand blowing everywhere.

So I guess it depends on what you are going to keep?

zemuron114 · 11/04/2006, 02:58 AM

what kind of lights do you have on the 75? i like the color

great shots as usual!

makoJ · 11/04/2006, 09:28 AM

thanks the 75gal has 2 -175w MH 12k's and 2 -36" VHO actinics
