yea thats what i wanted to do. i started a thread in the FO section to get opinions on my "trophy" angel and tang that ill add when the 125 is finished cycling. i import saltwater for now. sell to a couple fish stores but nothing big, mostly to friends who dont feel like going up north and...
125 is cycling. should be ready in less than a month. future can be 6 months or 2 years. just trying to get an opinion on which to get when the time comes. and im not buying them for future upgrades. im buying them for the same time i introduce my other fish into the 125 so i dont have a 90.00...
heres my list as of now. i will be upgrading tanks from a 125 to a 3-5 hundred in the future but want a final list before doing it so i dont have territory disputes. let me know what you guys think, im thinking of adding at very most 2 of any of these fish to complete my tank
right now i have a...
water is actually good. i pretty much do a change every 2 days or so just to correct things if they are going wrong or the params are rising. ammonia is pretty close to zero, but under .25, nitrates are 0, nitrites are 0, salinity is 1.024 actually, temp is 72-74. basic params are pretty much...
the other fish is a small clown maybe an 1" and a coule 3/4" purple reef damsels.
i like the many small water changes better than one big one..more fresh salt water is being circulated to keep water perams in check rather than letting them build even if its for a day than doing one big change...
the naso was not irregularly thin when i got him but he is fattening up with what and how much i feed. it could be a paranoia case since i spotted it on the orange should who is as fat as can be and its still there. and once the naso was introduced along with the imporator it showed the very...
IMO the blue throat is a must prettier trigger than the niger. that and you dont have to worry about him messing with your corals or inverts. blue throat gets my vote.
UPDATE: after the lights heated up today and i took a closer look at everything. it seems the angels are fine really, and its only the orange shoulder which was my original fish to contract it that still has it. whatever it was on the naso faded to almost being gone unless he turns his body a...
i would definitely go with the 2. nano will be way to weak. 1 two on either side of the tank will give you great flow in that tank especially since its long.
thank you calaxa for the actual helpful response. i did happen to have a ground probe laying around that i hooked up really quick. and it looks like LLE to me. stretching from the head curving up and down to the tail. they rarely even bump let alone antagonize eachother. they really all just...
didnt mean to sound like number of post counted but if you read my entire post you would have noticed the problem started with only 2 fish being in the tank which rules out over crowding. but people in forums generally take a look at the amount of times people posted or the date they sign up and...
advice taken but a 125 for those 4 fish is plenty at there size for a while, and from there another upgrade will be made when the time is right. as of right now they are fine, no aggression, no nit picking, they all just do their own thing, so its not a stress factor. ive seen 150 with 7 tangs...
ok, so heres my situation. i have a temporary 55 setup with a 5" orange shoulder, 3" imporator, 3" blueface and a 3" naso along with a couple smaller fish. i do 5 gallon water changes every couple days, their diet goes something like this...
they eat a very varied diet consisting of mysis...
is it the 150hqi setup? if so your goin to have ALOT of algae problems. i had one on a 26 gallon and got soo fed up with the algae that i switched to t5s. i have 2 over my 55 now since one of the legs on my t5 fixture broke and they work well...but for a small tank its a lil over kill. specially...
youll have better odds of them not being picked on by adding two at the same time. as long as they have plenty of hiding spots they shouldnt mind eachother.
