GoToSleep's 700g Build Thread (& complete remodel)

i can take them lol

 

400???? ive heard of 200 even 340 but dang 400???

 

BTW... how is your cycle going?

 

very sweet man could do a school of tangs always thought that is cool

 

A school of tangs are cool. I've heard that's pretty much the only way you can have more than one of the same kind. It seems to work with Yelow Tangs in the LFS. They say you can have 3,5,7 etc at a time. Keep them in odd numbered amounts.

 

how is the cycle going? update us....

 

No powder tang? (I love powder tangs haha)

And I definitely think the black tangs are NOT beautiful. Because, well, they're freakin black A yellow tang is the same body style, except super bright yellow. And cheaper than dirt compared to the blacks.

And going off of what Peredhil said...you could ditch some of the clowns. And get something like a banded cat shark or a bamboo shark instead

And puffer chick, saltwater weighs about 10 pounds per gallon. His display tank is 500 gallons. Plus a butt load of rocks. Good luck...

 

Well, after further consideration I don't think we should be suggesting which fish GTS should be putting in his tank but more like expressing some ideas that he might find of interest.
With that said, have you considered a baslett? I have a Royal Gramma and he's cool and adds nice color to the tank. The Purple Firefish is beautiful and can be put in pairs. These are small fish that can go into the tank early and are easy on the bioload along with the clowns, anthias and any chromis fish. I have 7 green chromis and they school together.
Speaking about bioload I have a question? Do you have to worry as much about the bioload with such a volume of water? I would think you have a lot more room to play with. Which brings me to the introduction of the Tangs. Since the book says the Tangs should be introduced at the same time I think you know where I'm going with this, just how many can your introduce at the same time or because again with that much volume of water can they be introduced gradually? This is a question you should get answered by someone with a similar tank with as many or more tangs than you have planned. I don't know of anybody but there is a guy named David Saxby that has a huge aquarium on you tube, here are the links. If nothing else enjoy the videos.

If you do want that many clowns, I'd go with pairs. B&W, Picasso, and regular. I think that'd be the most fun.

I thought triggers were notorious for being nibblers, no?

 

hey how dare you be racist to black fish! just because their black doesn't mean that their not beautiful. They are just unique in their own way! gah how dare you
