125g FOWLR

Oceanic 125g RR tank
150lbs of LR from established system
30g long sump/fuge
Little Giant return pump
Aquanetics 15w UV
Koralia 4 Mods x 2 (~3000gph each)

Stock List (fish in QT):
Six Barred Angelfish (6")
Blue Face Angelfish (4.5")
Imperator Angelfish (4.5" Changing Juvi)
Blue Angelfish (4.5")
Multicolor Angelfish (2.5")
Green Chromis x 6

PS - I understand that angelfish grow aggressive and territorial as they age. I also understand that adding a second angelfish to the tank is a bad idea when one has established territorial boundries. Therefore, adding multiple angels at the same time (at least 2) has proven successful if kept fat and happy. Tank fed 3 times daily (pellets, nori, frozen carnivore prep, Formula 2, misc greens, etc.)

very nice so far plan on using a skimmer?

 

I drilled the sump to house an additional pump to power a skimmer, however I chose not to install one at this time. I used to run an ETSS 600 XR, but there is no need for such a powerful skimmer on a FOWLR system.

Therefore, a skimmer will be added, but not right now.

 

I really like your rock scape and stocking plans. Angel fish are one of the fish we don't see many of on this site, so we need a lot of pictures.

 

Six barr's are so underated, I've got an emperor,blueface,passer,french and koran. I really like the setup so far. I definatly found that if your adding angels doing it at once is the best way. I feed alot of sponge based foods and they're all doing great. Keep the pics coming.

3 daily feedings? Is that not way too much? I may be wrong, but figured I'd bring it up. I love angel fish. My buddy has a flame angel and coral beauty in his reef tank and they've been good. There were not added at the same time, so when the coral beauty was added, the flame chased it for a while. Now they are good. He also had a koran angel that came with the tank, but had to trade it in after it went after his corals.

 

Angels require 3 daily "small feedings" like any fish... I personally dont believe in one larger feeding but multiple small feedings. My blueface will get cranky if he cant have a shrimp or two a few times a day, along with his seaweed and algae on the rocks

 

hmmm, I did not know that.

 

Correct! The most important thing is a varied diet. I use a Top Fin auto-feeder to feed pellets and Formula 2 while I'm away at work. Once I get home, I usually give them some greens, and during the evening (prime time viewing) I like to give them frozen carnivore prep.

As long as they stay well fed, keep an open aquascaping, and perform regular maintenance to keep water quality in check, they should be happy. Of course, housing the angels also means a reef is not an option.
