Here is my 180. Tank by Vivid and most contents by Vivid too. The full tank shot is about 7 or 8 months old. Things have grown out since then. Time for some new full tank pics! Many of the other shots are only weeks or months old.
Tank is 180 with Digital Aquatics Controller, Ca reactor, sump and refugium, Koralias with waver maker and 3x400 watt MH lights.
Total water is probably closer to 200 to 220 gallons.

Hi!

You have an awesome tank!  I love the marine Betta! What are the zoas in the 1st pic?

Can I see a current fish list please?

Here is a good pic posting tip:
 If you copy the IMG Code, and paste it on your post where you  want the pic, it will show up like this ( I use photobucket.com.  :

That is my Hi Fin Red banded Goby. He's paired with a mated pair of Red Banded Pistol Shrimps.


You can always resize it if you don't like the size.

The only place I know that you can get it is from Zack at

Have a look!

It originally came from Jason Fox, but is being grown by Zack.

Hey Chuck your tank is looking great!!!   Very well grown out and almost completely filled in.  No more room for coral!?!  We can always build you a larger one if you like!!!
