Took some pics feeding vitalis marine grazers. These are great and the kingi angel just loves them. View attachment 2533807

Absolutely stunning tank, very well done and congratulations! One quick question, I noticed you had a Regal angel and softies as well. I've always thought they would nip at softies, have you had any issues with it at all or noticed it nipping? Everything looks happy and healthy, so I would guess not. Did you add the regal after the corals were all established, or were they added after the regal? Any info would be awesome and, again, congratulations!

Anyone who says you can't keep angels with corals need to take a look at this tank.
Its very refreshing to see a tank that is well balanced between fish and corals.
Wow, that kingi! stunning

Thank you! You just need to have enough corals lol!

It was actually recently added but so far so good. He spends most of his day nipping sponge. My rocks are coated with sponge to the point it’s almost a problem.

Congrats, and very nice tank, can you share where you got the acrylic panels from by chance?

 

[jay_bro]

Very nice display. I like the spacing of your aquascape and the well manicured coral islands.

Thank you

I really love the aquascape. How did you secure the rock formations?
I am setting up a tank now and have been pondering the aquascape. I totally love the sandbed and how you have so much lower space and upper beauty.

Amazing job!

 

[reef80]

Amazingly!

Absolutly awesome! Well deserved.
Makes my 120 look like a nano, lol.
Its amazing how fast systems run out of room.

On another note very sorry to hear about your dad. I lost my mom and younger sister to cancer.
I feel the pain brother.

Keep up the good work.
Looks like you might be able to swim in your next upgrade, lol.

Just curious on how you get all your angels to behave so well with all your corals?

Amazing job!

The right one was done with emarco and i drilled the middle out with a diamond hole saw then bonded a 1.25” acrylic rod to an acrylic plate and slid it over top.

No clams, I would love one but wouldn’t risk it with the Kingi.

So far luck . I do feed a lot. Im
Sure there is nipping although I haven’t seen it.
