Finally got around to getting pics of the new setup in my 450 on my site:

For info on the setup see my TANKS

Looks good. :thumb: Just hope you never have to net a fish out of there! Lol.

Beautiful looking tank man :thumb:

Lookin good!!

All residents are permanent!!!!

 

[nimboman]

Looks like you got a couple of N. fusco in there. Maybe you should update your fishlist so we can see what you got.

 

[IrkedCitizen]

Yeah, but things can happen. The problem with really elaborate rock work and what not is that there are tons of places for a dead fish to get stuck.

 

[nimboman]

Would a dead fish in 450 gallons of water cause a big problem?

 

[fishyfishyfishy]

Well...wouldn't be the first time I found a nothing but a spine in my tank!!!

Actually though if u look at my TANKS and see the description....almost all that rock is raised off the bottom with jets underneath to help keep things clean...should help a bit.

It may and it may not. I am just saying.

Yeah, I saw that but the fact still stands that hopefully you never have to net a fish out of there. lol

 

[fishyfishyfishy]

Who needs a net? I'll just spear 'em!!!!

 

[IrkedCitizen]

hahah. good times good times.

Pretty sweeeet deal you got there...why not try some larger haps on for size in a tank that big though...like some nice fosso. rostratus or dolphins? Those two would make a nice combo!

I'm afraid to ask how much your tanks have cost you!?lol :dancing:

 

[fishyfishyfishy]

I'd be afraid myself!!!!

If you have to ask the price......you probably can't afford it :wink: :lol: :lol:

I doubt that the fish he has in there (at their present size) would cause anything negative if they died. Now - when these fish get to their full size (the Fusco that was mentioned - for example) would cause a major problem...

 

[fishyfishyfishy]

I don't see a decaying fish as being anything to be concerned over....especially not a major concern. I had a very large wrasse pretty much rot to nothing when this was salt. I found it weeks later after thinking it had been eaten by an eel. I never noticed any issues with the water or lost a fish as a result.

Anyway, I've got more than sufficient filtration, a huge UV and a detnitrifier to keep nitrates near zero. But more than that, I've got a very forgiving 400+ gallons of water.
