its seems to me that you might need a tank first to put it in

michika · 06/18/2008, 12:56 PM

Don't tempt me...my tank is 90% tang run at this moment. I've been on 8 different lists at different stores in 3 different cities for 4 years now. I may or may not have a lead about an incoming Hawaii shipment in the next little while...

kar93 · 06/18/2008, 12:57 PM

Maybe when the 1k is setup?

michika · 06/18/2008, 01:08 PM

As soon as we find a house. We'll probably need 4 months to get it to the point where its water-worthy. I have a bedroom FULL of equipment, and we have been buying supplies for the last year for the system.

If anybody lurking around here is new to the hobby then I just wrote an article on the basics of reefkeeping if you're interested:

Goodwin, are these guys in your 470? How many tangs do you have in there, and which ones? I see a clown, black, achilles, unicorn?, and 2 yellows..any others? I only ask because I am getting a 450 started and am curious as to the success with multiple tang species. Nice pics!

Reeftanks6 · 06/23/2008, 07:04 AM

Great shots everybody. My moms camera broke and we had to take it to the shop to get fixed so i will try to get the pictures then. Kar i might be starting a new thread but i just dont want all that stuff to happen again.

They are all in his 600, I think.

strittmatter · 06/23/2008, 09:18 AM

I have a Blonde Naso and a Powder Blue.
not very good pics but best i could do at the time.

Reeftanks6 · 06/24/2008, 05:36 AM

Very nice pictures. Did u ever have any problems with your Powder blue? Meaning ich and stuff like that. Also did you QT?

Those are really nice, but I dont think that is a 'Blond' naso...

strittmatter · 06/24/2008, 09:26 AM

Hard to tell from the pic but it is a blond Naso, when it raises its fin it has a very nice yellow fin. I believe that is what makes it a blond, correct? I will try to get a picture when he displays his fins.

And no the PB was never QTed and it only got Ich once. Both the tangs were introduced at the same time and were about half the size they are now. They were the first fish in my tank besides some chromis and I had some hair algae in the tank so there was plenty of green stuff for them to eat when they were first put in, I think this helped them. The only time the PB got ich was when I was doing some aquascaping, that seemed to stress him the first time, now if I stick my hand in the tank for anything it really does not even both him.

They both get a long fine and usually swim together.

kar93 · 06/24/2008, 09:27 AM

Yes, that makes it a Blonde.

michika · 06/24/2008, 09:39 AM

Blond Naso!

strittmatter · 06/24/2008, 09:57 AM

That's what mine looks like. Just combo of my crappy picture and the angle it's at. If you look close you can see the yellow on the fin just a really bad picture. I will do my best tonight to get a better pic. he does not coroperate very well though he is a fast swimmer. I made sure to get a Blond, as this was one of the fish i allways wanted. But i like my PB more now.

Reeftanks6 · 06/24/2008, 10:06 AM

Ok sounds good and yea i think yours is a blond naso.

Man... seriously seriously QT a PBT for a minimum of 6 weeks. I would even do some type of medicated or hypo QT if I could go back an do it over.

Almost every member I talked to went through some type of outbreak with the fish.

If you followed my thread, I went through trouble eating, and black ich while he was in QT for almost 6 weeks... Then about a week or two after I added him to the display he broke out with regular ich. He seems to have beat that on his own, and developed an immunity to whatever strain was in my tank. But the fact of the matter is that they are very sensitive fish. So do your research and make sure you have the means to QT and everything you could possibly need on hand ahead of time to treat the fish at the first warning sign.

they do develop better health through an excellent diet and occasionally adding garlic to the food but I don't think they ever develop full immunity to ich
