sufunk, great looking tank. Your Tangs look very nice!

12 years is crazy. I would never of thought someone would have a fish that long. Very nice job.

Heres some blurry pics of my two swimming pigs. An Achilles and a Hippo.

Thank you!

I love that achilles! I wanted an achilles SO bad was too scared to get one and have any problems so i went with the Blonde Naso.

How long have you had the Achilles?

xenia will do well in that tank--it loves phosphates and nitrates- and it might help decrease the level of them

kar93 · 03/18/2008, 11:07 AM

Yes but for me they grew too fast so i put them in the sump and they took over so i have to scrape them off everynow and then. Its quite a PITA but it makes me a little bit of money.

How big do those chocolate tangs get< I'm looking for one that stays relatively under 7 or so inches? anyone?

Reeftanks6 · 03/19/2008, 06:58 AM

Some of them are not that good because he just doesn't stop moving. After about an hour in the tank he went crazy on picking on the rocks.

I also just thought i would post a FTS for you. You can see the algae that iam talking about.

I had one of those...... turner into a right nasty S.O.B. in the end......
Nice fish though....... they are one of those fish that pictures never do justice .....

Reeftanks6 · 03/19/2008, 08:51 AM

Yea i know i just cant get a good shot of him. its even hard to gets those pictures he is always moving around. But what a great fish. I just got him to eat this morning.

kar93 · 03/19/2008, 09:35 AM

500 Corals!!! Spoilt for choice.

Joachim.B · 03/19/2008, 09:40 AM

here`s my acanthurus lineatus. He`s about 6-7cm long.

kar93 · 03/19/2008, 09:43 AM

Nice Clown definitely one of the top 10 tangs. Seeing that image makes me miss coco

Reeftanks6 · 03/19/2008, 09:46 AM

Great tang i love these tangs there up there in the top 5 IMO. Yea 500 corals i was shocked when i heard that.

kar93 · 03/19/2008, 09:58 AM

Would you be able to get any shots of your LFS? i would love to see where they keep everything.

Reeftanks6 · 03/19/2008, 10:04 AM

I dont know i will try and see what they do but i dont know how they will react to it. i want to get an SPS but i know iam not ready for that yet so i might just go with the frogspawn or hammer. If not it will be something cheap and that looks cool to start with.

kar93 · 03/19/2008, 10:05 AM

If you are worried about that it would probably be best to ask if you can.

Reeftanks6 · 03/19/2008, 10:07 AM

yea thats what i am probably going to do if i go there today.

Reeftanks6 · 03/19/2008, 02:05 PM

kar i did not get the pictures today wanted to ask before i did anything. Well i walked home with a Acropora. Not sure on what kind of species it is but i will get a picture for you. Trying to fine th species.
