Winy's 180 reef tank

[winyfrog]

My God, that's incredible, Winy. How do maintain it all. Wow! Thanks for sharing.

This tank is set up with plumbing done through the walls and valves. So on water change days (300 gallons at a time) I flip a valve and drain out, turn another valve (thats hooked up to a 300 gallon storage container) and fill er up! You need to make a system that so big easy to maintain, this one is easier then my 180.

thanks for the kind words

Wow Winy! That is pretty close to what I would like for a tank someday. Is that a "Koi" Yellow tang I see in there? Looks like a regular yellow tang but with big white patches? If you ever come across another and would be willing to ship it let me know ASAP please!

 

[dustin_P74]

probably just a yellow scopus

Peacock mantis will get about 6" Usually not in captivity. My sunny is about 4" right now. I had one before her "Mr. Nice Guy" here's a video of him. but I had him for 5-6 years and he was close to 6" when he died :(

some violence don't watch if you have a week stomache ;)

A freaking mazing! Having a huge tank is great I am sure but one that is so easy to maintain is even better. Great job. And the mantis video was cool also.
