All the fish from my 100g were moved over to the 279g last night, they seem to be settling in just fine. I plan to put the Sohal Tang in this evening.

Let the action begin once you put the Sohal in the tank [emoji23]

I want to experiment with adding another much smaller Sohal

The Sohal Tang has been added, everyone is treating him with respect even the PBT who was the tank bully before. So far they seem to be getting along.

Nice. Thinking of doing a 80” x 36” x 24” in the future.

How are you lighting it?
I have a diy Lumia led light with 3 pucks on a 48" heatsink that I will use together with 2 T5 bulbs. I was using the Lumia setup on the 100g I had before.

Yep, takes a while to fill a big tank. I hate waiting.

If I had a large tank, I would invest in a higher GPD rodi.

As much as I treat fish and anemones....I'll probably get a 150 GPD for my unit now. Makes life much easier. Tank transfers and 100% WC's burn through a lot of water.

Good luck with your new tank and look forward to seeing pics when it is all done and settled.

Transferred the Clowns to the 279g, they immediately took up residence in my torch completely ignoring the RBTA.

I've been moving colonies slowly lately so I'm right there with you in this. Makes me nervous to take a colony from a thriving environment and put it in something fairly new. Oh well. Your tank is coming along nicely.

So far all the fish are playing nice. Still have some algae on the rocks.
