Tanu, your tank is absolutely amazing. How many fish do you currently have and what size tank is it? Keep up the great job and keep us updated.

Tanu · 12/05/2004, 10:09 AM

It is a 160 G tank. I have about 35 fish now, the smallest are only about 1", the largest is the gem tang I added yesterday. He is about 4 or 5 ".

ArjenT · 01/02/2005, 06:38 PM

Great tank dude!!!!!

delv · 01/02/2005, 06:55 PM

Tanu, your tank effectively has the illusion of a much larger tank. How many species of coral do you estimate are in there now?

d.

Tanu · 01/02/2005, 06:57 PM

Delv... Thank you! 120 species? I'm not sure!

delv · 01/02/2005, 07:02 PM

About how much are you feeding a day (bbig pinch, little pinch, etc...)?

Skatereef · 01/02/2005, 07:05 PM

new!!!! MInes old and doesnt look like that. Im jealous.Nice tank.

Lincutis · 01/02/2005, 07:26 PM

you definately have a prize winner there

Tanu · 01/04/2005, 05:52 AM

Delv, i feed daily: about one-2 teaspoons of flake and granular food and about 1 teaspoon nori. I keep the nori between my fingers, the regal angel and the gem tang eat it straight from my hands. About once a week i also feed frozen foods (mysis, artemia, chopped mussel...). I also add vitamins to the food once a week. I take care to ensure all fish are well fed.

Hugh: what do you mean with 'new!'? Some of the corals have been with me for quite some time

It is possible do a 'makeover' on an old tank!

outprowllin · 02/06/2005, 07:59 AM

First time i have seen your wouderful tank. It is truly inspiring!
it look like yo cut out a piece of the reef and dropped it in you tank............is your filtration very complicated or do you keep it on a more simple method?

sublimaze41 · 02/06/2005, 08:29 AM

Update, PLEASE!!

Tanu · 07/22/2008, 04:21 AM

It's been some time ago since the last update

In the meanwhile, I've moved to a new appartment. I also placed a new tank, which contain most of the fish and corals from the previous tank. The tank is partial view-through. This new tank is running since May 2006.

Here are some pictures...

Tanu · 07/22/2008, 04:22 AM

Further, I try to keep all fish in couples. I paired up the regal, I've already seen the first spawning a few days ago!

Regals:

and

Gem tangs are also together, since about 2 years, but no spawning yet

You have to look very closely, but they are both in the last picture:

ArjenT · 07/22/2008, 04:39 AM

Nice Tanne...I see your tank is in top condition! The regals are breathtakingly beautiful! Great to see 2 regals from different regions pair together! Can't wait to see it.....see you next week!

IridescentLily · 07/22/2008, 05:10 AM

Thank you so much for the update pics Tanu!
Absolutely beautiful.
