My 210 gal reef tank

One other thing as far as the Asphur angel is concerned. I remember an Asphur angel costing $2000 about 20 years ago because it was so rare. Well that has changed as a lot were found in the indo-pacific and brought the prices way down. BTW aren't you closer to the indo-pacific than I am? What's with that? Something stinks here.

 

well the purple tang for 275 is amazingly cheap i make a habbit of going to tlots of different plaes to make sure im not getting rippied of a big turbo snail in aus is worth like 40 dollers :S you said buy online do you mean from overseas cause i dont think its very easy getting stuff like that into the country also the achillies tang is about average price from what ive been able to find them. i wish i could get a decent clean up crew its like impossible to find that stuff in aus it does my head in

 

Those large turbo snails are expensive but I find the small ones are fine and those are the ones I get. You can try searching google for clean up crews. Check the archives here at 3reef. Those Achilles tangs are also hard to keep and that would be a disaster! I don't have experience mailing fish or I would help you. Big Al's sells blue legged hermits at 10 for $6.99. Of course they are small but leave bigger empty shells in the tank and they will move into them as they grow. Check online. If I come across anything I'll let you know.

 

If you have two Yellow Tangs then they must be a male and female or you are just lucky as all get up. My Purple tang is nasty to newcomers and kills at will. I did put him in last with the other tangs but the other ones don't bother new fish. I had a purple tang years ago and it was the same story.

 

Great tank. I love the clown tang. He is big. I have a baby. It's my 3rd try for the clown tang. I think they are hard to keep. WHere did you get yours?
