150 Gallon tall project finally complete!!

[Chefken]

Took 4 months but its done. 100% LED lit....FX5 and XP3 plus Koralia 1050 circulating pump. Jaeger 300 watt heater. Maybe some more scaping to do but the tank is finally done! Lighting is 3x Ecoxotic 8000k/453nm blue 12 watt fixtures, 1x Marineland Double bright 36-48", and 4x True Lumen Moonlights.....honestly the marineland fixture is barely enough to light the back of the 24" deep tank....cannot handle the 30" depth. if not for the SD's I could easily plant this tank with only 36 watts of lighting! I cannot overstate how amazing these Ecoxotic lights are. They are designed for Saltwater corals and fish and the colors POP! DYI canopy and stand! Thanks to MFK for the advice and inspiration. I am very happy with the tank for sure!

I know......its not 500 gallons. For my small home office it is quite monster enough!!

Thanks man! One of my better behaved fish actually. Only bothers my 8" Blochi when he intrudes. It leaves my small dats alone....steals food from my small delhzi but mostly spends its time moving sand!

That's cool.I'll get into keeping them in the future.

I took a small chance mixing it in with my other eclectic stock but it has worked out nicely....The real gamble would be adding another! Not sure of the sex of this one....if its male and I add another male chaos would certainly ensue! I am leaning towards female but I have not pulled it from the water to really check.
