Hey Sunny,
I love the 58 gallon, but I'm already looking at the enxt tank being a 120 gallon.
Its an Oceanic, but Its not reef ready. I had a hole drilled in the tank for a 1 inch overflow. I took it to a LFS nearby that drilled tanks...that was the biggest hole they could drill. Naturally, I found another place immediately afterwards that would have been able to drill it out to accept a 1 1/2 inch sched 80 bulkhead...too late to do anything due to the way the tank was drilled.
I started a thread on the build up of this tank in the Reef Chronicles Forum under the title Project 58. You can check it out there if ya like.
Why are you downsizing?
Vina, Ive always liked the look of your tank. How long have you had it running?

Nick I'm fraging my corals very often to keep them from touching each other.It's been set up for 5 years already.Many of the corals(90%) were frags purchased at the LFS and some from local reefers.I'm thinking to upgrade to a 180 gls soon.

You guys have some great pics there. Brucey, I love that powder blue tang...Vina what an incredible looking tank.
I used tothink the fish were a big deal....but the more and more I look into the hobby and look at pics and visit the lfs, I can totally understand how people can really go all out on the reef aspect of the tank.
Im jealous! Great pics everyone!

Maxx:
Thanks. My copperband seems to be doing ok. I got it at my LFS because it's the first one I saw that was small. It's been in there a little over a week. Everything you've read is true...they are hard to feed. It's not agressive at all at feeding time and all of the other fish get to the food before it does. It's always weaving in and out of the LR and pecking at it. I hope it's eating something. Hopefully it'll start eating better soon. Beautiful fish though.
