180 FOWLR build finally underway...

[bleedingthought]

I'll try to get some pics up soon - haven't had much free time in the last few months...

Just got back from a couple of weeks in Texas. My Mom had another (and hopefully her final) surgery down at MD Anderson early this month. 9 hours in the OR!

9 hours must be incredibly harsh! Wishing her a speedy recovery!


And... we love pictures.

Chris,
Best wishes to your mom. I hope shes making a good recovery after the long surgery.

The tank looks good so far. Since you mentioned the tuskfish, I'd like to hear your experience with that fish. I'm working on piecing my aquarium together and I was looking at the harlequin for my centerpiece fish since I'm working with a 75 gallon tank. Does your tuskfish stay hidden unless feeding as they are known to do? You gotta post a pic of him for me too. They really are gorgeous fish. :wink:

Thanks for the kind words guys.

As for the Tusk, sadly he went carpet surfing (tank is running open-top). I'll see if I can find some pics (other than my avatar)...

He was very active, a good eater and fat/healthy. He didn't hide much - in fact he was the boss of the tank and a bit of a bully. I think my school of Chromis proved to be his downfall. He would take potshots at them occasionally and I think he may have gotten overzealous one day and ended-up behind the tank...
