Yes indeed. Assume acrylic again? Who's making it for you?

In an attempt to quieten the voices whispering 'go bigger', 'vlamingi tang', 'looks crowded', 'vlamingi tang' ..... oh, wait, those were my kids Saw the ETM Gen4 Pro Radions at one of my LFS and decided to just get better lights. Out with the Reefbreeders Photons (which gave yeomen service BTW); in with Gen4 pro triplets. I've little illusions that they'll grow corals any better, but they certainly look better and perhaps will color up a few of my SPS that have been looking a little colorless. They also dim down better than any other LED fixture I have seen, and though my fish probably don't care, they should ... it's cool.

Lights didn't help. Looking at ordering my first acrylic tank, nominally a 96" 400 gallon. May be the end of this build thread and the start of another.

This thread is now literally pointless with all of the photos now replaced with that incredibly annoying odometer graphic. Thanks a lot photobucket, I shall remember I cannot really be bothered to fix them. I shall fix them in my new big tank build thread however (400 CT Build).

I will also use the tank change to introduce 5 fish that are languishing in QT - a Purple Tang, Potters Angel and a Trio of Bartletts Anthias. So, 20 fish total.



I do intend to eventually add an Achilles Tang, a school of Chalk Basslets, and a Swalsi Basslet. Perhaps also a few more Bartletts.



So, that's the plan!
