Very Nice Pictures Sweet Tang

 

Sorry! My pics were supposed to be in a Show off Your Tanks forum. I'm not so good at this.

 

Great pics so far....tell us more about your tank!

 

My tank is 75g bow front. I obviously need plenty more "stuff" but I'm getting there. I need alot more live rock, but I do like to spread it out in the tank instead of stacking it all in one place.(until I get more to stack up). I meant to put these pics in the " show off your tank" forum, but I messed up. Anyway, :-[ I was open for suggestions. I get so many great ideas from all of you. My current residents areurple tang, spotted goby, percula clown, maroon clown, 4 pajama cardinals, 2 peppermint shrimp, 2 cleaner shrimp, assorted snails. I'm reading up from all of you to help me decide what to get next. I also have just one BTA.

 

I love the look of your tank. It's simple and open and I think that the look really works. As far as what to add next it all depends on what you like and what direction you want to go with the tank. I say good job so far.

 

IMHO I think your fish load is just right. I don't think you should add anymore. You have almost just what I have also! Start building up your LR so you can add corals.

 

What kind of lights do you have? It looks like you have regualr fresh water lights? If thats the case that BTA won't survive long And I agree your going to need more live rock.

 

I would love to do exactly what you (cannedmulder)said with more corals in mind. I'm waiting until I can do just what C24 said about the lighting. I'm saving to get a Nova lighting system. Glad to hear I'm on the right track. Thanks for your input. Can I just put different types of bulbs in the fixtures I have, for the time being? Your right, I do have regular freshwater lights. One is 10000k and one is 20000k. Would that be helpful to my BTA? I do worry about it. What would you suggest?

 

you'd be better off to bring the BTA to a LFS and return it for credit, it will die without really good lighting, I keep one in a small tank under smaller lighting but they can get really close to the lights, but the 10k and 20k freshwater bulbs will not sustain one being that deep down and when an anenome dies it can take the rest of the tank down with it, not worth the risk imo

Also on the lighting you may want to talk to Tangster from Aquatic Art Technologies on here, he's got some really nice Sunlight Supply T5 rigs cheap for us 3reefers, I'm going to be ordering a 48" 8 bulb one from him very soon and I already own a 36" 6 bulb Tek series as well, the Maristar I believe is the little brother series to the tek's and are still a very good choice for a lower cost T5 solution and IMO better than the Nova rigs
