Smitty's 40 Gallon Breeder - I miss this tank :(

BRS is the plan. Right now I just have softies (zoas, palys, shrooms, xenia and GSP. Oh yeah, and a Keyna tree I can't really stand lol).

 

40g is large enough for a flame angel.

I've kept flames, bicolor dwarfs and coral beauties in a number of mixed reef/softies tanks without any problems. What I believe makes a big difference is that I kept them well fed with a varied diet that included an angel blend w/marine sponge and kelp. They may need that for long-term survival as it is part of their natural diet.

 

Thank you, your advice is enough to make me comfortable with putting one in there. That will most likely be my last fish for this tank as well. ;D

Just to be sure, but these are bristle worms right?

 

Yes, that'd be bristle worms. Don't worry to much about them though, they are good cleaners. If you have a lot then I would add a coral banded to your tank.

 

Other than the Pepsi can on top tank is looking great.

 

What's wrong with Pepsi lol? ;D And thank you

 

So a coral banded shrimp will help control the population of bristle worms? I have been wondering what would help with this. I'm not really worried about them, they just kind of freak me out lol. They love it when I feed pellets lol. ;D

 

Yes they will eat them
