Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. You all can grow corals but I can grow cheato ;).

I would ask MikeNapoli about this one. I never had the fish but think they are tough to keep.

I think they are a bit tricky ... like the hippo they get ick and are just plain tempermental.(pain in butt) How about a powder brown...similar and pretty nice fish similar without the cost and a little sturdier? The purple is agressive, the kole is not so make sure you add the purple last or...

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. So my main tank is doing great. I am still working on the drains trying to adjust them to get them quieter but OK not terrible. But my QT has taken a beating. I lost the cleaner shrimp. I have no idea what happened he was eating fine. And then...

Feed fish :P.

You and one other person carried a 220 down stairs?!?!?! :o

I have a naso tang in my QT I have to say it is a great fish so far. My hippo in QT has ich :'( I am sorely disappointed. I am going to lower the salinity to try to kick it. Since someone ate my cleaner shrimp (or he got sucked into my korialia). I don't have to worry about that. I did...

Try it in a soap dish that seems to hold it in. Cheato doesn't seem to be as invasive as some of the other algae types. So I will bring to the frag swap for Altohombre, Chase and DiazeE.

Very nice!!!

Dude a 180 is exactly a nano tank LOL. I see you switched yellow tang for yellow butterfly, should be a beautiful bunch of fish.

Good luck with it. For sure it has to be happier then then a 20G >:( You might have to part with it when it gets healthy but you should feel good about taking care of it. IMHO

Darn ... did you do the partial water change? Hope all turns out OK.

That is great I knew we had a lot in common. ;D

Sorry if I was too general, thought you were just starting out. I don't think you really need a skimmer unless you were going to have SPS, but that is just me. Sound like you are doing an excellent job on the maintenance of the tank.

Sorry don't know a lot about butterfly fish....Tangs are my current specialty ;D. I would see what Will has at AO, then you know about the fish. I went through a long adoption procedure with mine. Of course Will was about to throw me out or charge me admission I think.

Your very welcome...I don't know as much as a lot of folks but my approach is to research as much as I can when I find a question I find interesting and post what I find that might be useful. I did the same thing with my most recent fish purchase so I like the thread. I also like it because...

Triggerfishes introduction. Prone to spitting water out of the tank top to attract possible treats. Be sure to cover any open wiring. I thought I would look up all your fish...I guess it looks good you know the trigger and emperor are going to be the dominate fish? The potters are a little...

Looks interesting. It is an airstone driven skimmer which is older technology...seems to be the weak link. Drs Fosters is pretty reliable though and has great turnover wouldn't expect them to have an old model. You could call and ask. It certainly kills several birds with one stone. Good luck...

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) I am rather embarrassed to be included with those other tanks because I am not even close to being in their class. I can only hope that I end up doing so well. But thank you for including me, glad I did some things right. I am looking...

Re: Here's my 120 Yep it was nice of them to stay for me today but it is time that they get out. Maybe with the cold weather coming in this weekend they will be motivated to go.
