The tank looks great! My 90g looks a bit cluttered compared to yours, but I stuffed mine full of rock for my tank upgrade that I am making now.
Unfortunately there are very few imperatives in this hobby. There is more grey area. Thanks for the K guys:)
Yeah, they are not collected very often. Uusally they go for around 70 dollars when you can find them. They are generally a very nice tang, and...
Sounds like you are just unlucky with that bellus. Those are planktivores, and normally don't eat coral. Those are probably the most reef safe...
Well, the the hepatus tang will get to be a good 10 inches long when mature. I would not keep one in a 55g much past the 3" zone.
Like the poster mentioned below your post, these fish are hit or miss for whether they will eat corals or not. Flames are more hit, than miss as...
That and I hear that the yellow belly goes away when it matures....
Automatically saying that 2 tangs in a 4 foot tank is asking for trouble is not a very good response IME. Now if the purple tang is a real mean...
Weird stuff can happen from time to time. As long as the stand is level, you should not have any more issues once you replace/ fix the tank. If...
Tomini tangs are smaller tangs. One would be very happy in a 4 foot 120g. You could easily have at least 1 more bigger fish in a 120g. I know of...
Exactly. I would recommend a Calcium reactor with a kalkwasser top off versus dosing 2 part, as the reactors will better manage the nutrients if you...
LOL you posted this while I was typing my response above. ;) I am 6'4" as well, and from the floor I can get almost all the way to the back of my...
Well, a std 125g is a 6 foot long tank, and generally need 3 halides to light them since they are 6 feet. a 120g that is a 48 x 24 x24 will be...
Thanks for the warning. I have a few patches of this in my existing 90g that will be going into my big tank soon.
Collonista snails don't seem to do much for keeping the tank clean, but they certainly don't do any harm.
Yep, more flow will keep cyano at bay. It will also keep the SPS happy, but too much flow will annoy LPS....
Not quite a true DIY tank as it was built by someone else, but nice none the less.
Some tanks need solid tops, like my plywood / epoxy reef tank, but most glass tanks only need the bottom rim supported. One nice thing about the...
I would avoid any zebrasoma tang (sailfin, yellow, scopas) due to the similar body shape. A kole or a Tomini, or how about a 2 spot bristletooth...
It depends on the brand and style of ca reactor whether a second chamber is really needed. I know that GEO Ca reactors do not need a second chamber...
