Default 220 update

The shark is doing great, the tangs are eating like crazy and lovin all the space. I picked up the clown tang, red volitan lionfish, and a cleaner wrasse (even though I know they usually don't make it in an aquarium.)

Actually mine is out and about quite a bit, I don't have really bright lighting on the tank so I think that is part of the reason why. He'll get 2 1/2ft or so.

I haven't had any problems with mine at all, I think the main difficulty is having a large tank for them. Mine started eating frozen thawed seafood the day I got him.

Ok, here's the shark, active during the day. It's awesome how the fish react to the cleaner wrasse, as he cleans, pretty cool, I hope he does well.

I bought a 55 gallon tank today as petco had the dollar per gallon deal, but I am going to return it and get the 40 gallon breeder instead, it'll be so much easier to put under the 220 and it'll be so easy to work with being 4" shorter than the 55 gallon. Than I'm gonna make a refugium and get an overflow for this tank as well. Will keep updated with photos of the fuge etc...
