Sorry Kathy I missed your question the coral on the right is a Frogspawn. I've had it about a year and it's gone from 2 heads to 6. On the right end of the tank, to the right of the shrooms and below the finger leather is a single head hammer that I was given by a friend about 2 weeks ago. We'll see how it does in a few months.

Thanks Jason.

DrHank · 10-11-2007, 03:40 PM

Thanks Jason. I really enjoy it.

Sorry double post.

Very Nice Dr. Hank!
I really like your blue background too which kind of surprises me.
Hmmmmmmm, maybe black isn't the only way to go!

Awesome tank! The purple tang is gorgeous! Is he overly aggressive?

lcstorc · 10-11-2007, 04:53 PM

Gorgeous tank!

DrHank · 10-11-2007, 05:13 PM

Chris I wouldn't call him overly agressive. He's a typical Purple Tang and was the second to last addition. The last was the rabbitfish. They sparred a bit but are now best of friends. He knows that it's his tank but respects the fact that Mr. Rabbit is venomous.

Lynn, thanks. I guess you can tell I love my tank!

Just stopping by Doc .... any news ?

DrHank · 11-14-2007, 06:57 PM

Heinz, not too much other than I'm considering turning it into a FOWLR early next year. The 155 gallon Bowfront that I picked up in Punta Gorda came with everything. Lights, chiller, neilson reactor, Aqua Controller II, Calcium reactor, Co2 setup, 2 Tunze Turbelle's, Beckett skimmer, Sequence Hammerhead, sump, ATO, Ozone generator, 2 UV sterilizers, 2 Genx pumps, 5 Mag 7's, and a bunch of smaller stuff.

I'm thinking that the bigger tank might work better for the FOWLR and the Bowfront for the reef. Anyway, I'm not in any hurry so I'll give it some thought. Still sorting out what I brought home. The guy was clearing out everything and I just happened to be the first one able to take it to respond.

Wow, jackpot indeed!! Thought the wife was after her own FO?

That's another possibility but if I go that way I've got to go with a wet/dry and heavier water changes to keep the nitrates in reason.

Looking good Hank!

DrHank · 11-23-2007, 04:26 PM

OK, here are a couple of recent additions to my 210. The story behind addition #1 is that I'm helping my dentist learn how to maintain his office 75 gallon tank. He let his previous maintenance person go because he was being taken advantage of. Anyway, When I arrived I found a beautiful tomato clown in a 15 gallon tank which looked like it had never seen a water change. Anyway they offered it to me and I felt so sorry for the fish that I tool him. He now resides comfortably in my tank.

Anyway, I had my small (about 1") GBTA and he started nuzzling almost immediately. Dummy me thinks the poor guy would probably love the big Sebae that I had previously turned down. Biting my tongue and waiting for the I told you so, I called our club member and she was thrilled to hear that I wanted it. She said that it had grown way too big for her 55 and she was right.

So as you can see it's picked a good spot and is very happy. Do you think that the clown just rushed right over and made himself home? No way! He ignores this beautiful creature in favor of the tiny GBTA. I should have known. Anyway, about 2 weeks ago another club member posts that he's wanting to convert his 125 from a SSB to bare bottom. Ok, I'll go help him if I can have the old sand. Great, he's happy for the help and so it's a done deal. Well now that he's going bare bottom, he has a small yellow watchman goby that I can have if I want. OK, I'll put him in the big tank and he'll make himself a nice home under the rock. Well, he's been in hiding the whole time until I decide to rearrange the rock (move it to the back so that I have more open floorspace). Anyway, today I'm looking over the tank and whar do I see?

The little guy is as happy as can be working the sand behind the anemone. So anyway, you folks can welcome my new additions and my entry into the anemone club. Sometimes the best laid plans....
