Thanks — now got 3 in the tank: Red, Blue, and Green Haddonis. They are a few feet apart so plenty of room to stretch out. I bought more clownfish but so far, everyone is staying clear of the carpets!

“Fish Room” — nem-only tank is taking shape.

Dont we all want a red gig?!
a red gig was thought to be a unicorn at one time until recently.

As far as I know, there's only 1 guy that has one. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/gig-‘ems-grand-gigantea-gathering.850187/

Heres my tank

How do you manage keeping what looks like different BTA without any issues?

Finally opening up (not yet fully though) and hosting clowns.

I would check with Amazing Aquariums in Orange. There's really nice one t\here.

Yes, Ali (Amazing Aquarium) has a red one as well. It doesn't look at large as the one in Tong's. But they are both gorgeous carpets.

I bought the red one from Tong's yesterday!

Just to be clear -- all of mine (including the red one formerly from Tong's) are Haddonis. I'm looking for Gigantea, not Haddonis.

Thanks man -- will check them out this week. Also, nice meeting you last week. I will start fragging some LPS next week for sure.. lol

Perhaps you added an extra zero? I’ve asked them months ago and it was $700 for a red Haddoni. They didn’t have a Gig though.

No 0 added. It was a rainbow, not just red though. Beautiful animal.

Oh, I only have 1 BTA in there (the giant CSB). The others that might look BTA-like are a red long tentacle anemone and a purple tip magnifica. There's a sebae (H. crispa) in the back peeking out too.

I don't run any carbon.

lol - didn’t see that one! That’s way too rich for my blood. I’ll check it out later this week as I’m still hunting for more clownfish.

Hey, my tank is the same dim's as your SPS 150 gallon--36x36x24! I haven't seen many tanks with those dimensions. How do you like keeping 3 large systems? I have 2 tanks and sometimes dabble with a 3rd. I say "dabble" because I keep breaking it down and setting it back up again--no time!! haha.

Nice — cubes are cool! Will check out your build thread.

Ultimately I want a ginormous system but having difff systems allows me to play with various species - mixed tank is tough. Ain’t that bad tbh to maintain them all. When you have more systems, it’s a requirement to have automation & homogenous equipment. All my tanks have Apex and I run Ecotech gear — basically, I have pretty much the same light, return pumps, feed pumps, etc. Almost everything is monitored and controlled via Apex / Mobius. My goal is to do the least repetitive task as possible. Yes — I’m lazy! However, between work & family stuff, I don’t have time to mix water, dose, clean, etc…

Sorry about the ramble….

Nice! You’re gonna need a bigger tank soon! 🤣

those are between 12-15” rounds atm. They get bigger when I feed them.

Man those red haddonis are so bright! Nice grab
