Time for a bit of an update... My old tank does not exist anymore. As I moved into a new house 2 years ago, I also set up a new tank. Slightly smaller as I did not have more space, but I tried to make best out of it. The new tank is built in a wall in the living room and still contains about 600 litres of water...

Just as the previous tank, the tank was set up as a fish tank which also contains corals. While I like the corals a lot, the fish are even more tempting.... Here are some of the inhabitants I am particularly proud of:

Centropyge colini (I have two, but they are no pair yet)

N. helfrichi and M. choati over three Tridacna squamosa

Pygoplites diacanthus, I got this fish in 2003

Chaetodon larvatus. I got this fish on December 7th 2015. Apart from grazing on the coral polyps, I got it to fatten up by feeding it fresh oysters every day. Needless to say this is definitely the most difficult fish in my tank. With the right attention, I feel it will stay with me for many years to come.

Gramma dejongi - right before its introduction to the tank.
Have a nice day
