Nice softy tank
Some pics I took at my friends the other day. Standard 180g tank. 100g sump with some calerpa in it. Large beckett skimmer. Two 400w Radiums/pulse start ballasts and one 400w Iwasaki with a standard PFO ballast.
Many corals were once owned by me, and sold/traded to him. Also several of my previous fish now reside in his tank. The bangaii, was one of my tank raised fry, born in my 225g.

The finger leather could fit in your hand when I sold it. Now near two feet across. I rescued the Regal tang from another friend. It was very small and covered with ick. One of the tank raised Regals. We doctored it back to health in a smaller aquarium and then placed it in this 180, hoping it was small enough for the 3yr. old yellow to ignore. As seen its now a fat, healthy and much larger tang.
Alos my leopard wrasse can be seen in the same pic. Loves his sandbed and gets along fine with a huge six-line wrasse. The clowns were my breeding pair of cinnamons. They now live very happy in that large 3yr. old anenome.

That is a great looking soft coral display (and clams
 ). So many people get caught into thinking that large SPS/Clam displays are the most spectacular but mixed coral displays and nano reefs can look just as great! |

I agree Scott. He had several types of sps in there and the ones he was holding for me, but they are in my tank now. There is just no room for them to safely grow with all those huge soft corals.

Nice Doug! It's great to see diverse tanks. The movement of soft corals swaying in the current is an awesome sight. Thanks for sharing.
Regards, Kevin
