Ah reminds me of my childhood of my dad's saltwater aquarium. A long time ago he had a large arowana in a tank by itself. We also had another tank with a bunch of saltwater fish including yellow tang and lionfish. Anyone know the name of this specific fish? It was my favorite one

Added some coral (finally!) I am not doing a reef tank but I would like a couple of corals just to liven my tank up a tad.
My poor Zebra eel Tubbs, passed away (unknown as my tank is healthy) but he was at least 5yrs old. Have another on order.

Enjoy...

Nice tank!! I just recently setup a 5 gallon frag tank and a 10 gallon nano-reef.

Haven't done much to them yet but I have a bunch of zoanthid frags on order for the frag tank and the 10 gallon is still cycling...

Absolutely beautiful. If I ever did that I would have to hire someone to come out and do the upkeep on it otherwise I'd kill it flat.

Going on 4 years now and only a few casualties (too be expected). Overall a thing of beauty and as close as I can get to Ocean's Nature.
