Hi there what is that in the bottom left of your tank.

[emopanda87]

FISHY

[OreChasm]

What is that at 2:22? I've got nests of them.

[RaffleReefer10]

@OreChasm looks like a sponge. good for your tank!:)

[arringar]

@OreChasm That is a yellow sponge colony. If you have lots of them, good for you. Means that you have lots of planktonic food in your tank. If they get out of control they may start to take up all the natural food sources and your corals could slowly starve. Ultimately though, the fact that they are growing well is a good sign.

hey bro how much did everything cost u. just the tank and everything else but not the fish

[arringar]

@TheAnimalEnthusiast I am using a Canon professional digital camera.  Model SX10IS.

[sirtubemaster]

did your trigger every eat any of your corals?

[arringar]

@sirtubemaster No but he did become a nuisance by eating hermits, so he has been moved to the refugium.

[SLASHfan12345671]

Niceeeeeeeee.

[konkanson]

incredible tank. doesn't your huma trigger go after your corals?

[arringar]

@konkanson No.

[kimscvp101]

100 gallons is ALOT!!!! :DD

[pyekhine]

Hey... nice tank. Got a question. How's that Kent Nautilus EX skimmer? Is it anygood?  I'm about to purchase EX-30 model and couldn't find any good reviews anywhere.... thanks a bunch....

[arringar]

@pyekhine To be honest, it is sort of a pain and doesn't perform as well as I'd hoped.

[sgtbarone]

is that a leopard grouper. its very sexy

[arringar]

No, it is a Spotted Sweetlips

[351linzdoctor]

You have a very nice tank! I am looking for the exact same size but cannot find anyone who sells that size. Was your tank a special order?

[arringar]

As far as I know, this size is not standard anymore. This tank is actually probably around 30 years old, I've had it forever.  I am replacing it as we speak with a new 155 bowfront. You might have some luck with ebay. There are several aquarium manufacturers that put ads on ebay, but be careful.

[351linzdoctor]

Thanks for the reply! That would explain why I can't find one!

[eatmynastysnatch]

Beautiful system! What song is this?

[Benno828282]

Wow, very nice, whats the large green coral that takes up most of the left side?

[arringar]

It's a green star colony

[buffpn0y21]

is that a file fish on 38 seconds? if so he must be reef safe, right???

[arringar]

Yes, that is a Tassled Filefish, and no, it is not reef safe as an adult, however they are reef safe as juveniles, same goes for the Clown Sweetlips that is at 0:46. There are many fish that are perfectly harmless until they reach their adult phase.

[MrAlien79]

so you are planning on doing what when he becomes an adult? i dont think its good to buy a fish just for a while and then kick him out,,, just my opinion

[arringar]

I agree with you. I have a large fish only tank that he will go into, along with the Huma trigger and the Sweetlips as they outgrow this system.

[xooxsonyxoox]

nice

[BESTMUSICVIDS2009]

are those green star ployps

the tank looks good

[arringar]

Yes, they are.
