nsxnr6 · 10/13/2010, 12:35 PM

Hey Everyone....

I am downsizing my current tank and have a few things for sale:

First up is a purple tang. He/she is around 4-5" long and has been in my care for about a year. Asking $100

Next is a blue hippo tang/regal tang. He/she is around 4-5" long. I have raised this fella ever since he was about an 1 1/2". asking $30

**Both fishes above are pigs!! They are mainly fed pellets**

Now to equipment:

MRC CR2 dual calcium reactor. It comes with an upgraded spray bar, a ph probe holder, and a Mag 2 pump. The whole set up also includes, co2 tank, regulator, pinpoint ph monitor w/ probe and ofcourse the MRC CR2 unit. Asking $400

Lighting - Lumen bright Mogul base reflector with IceCap 250watt metal halide electronic ballasts. Asking $150 a set (I have two sets available)

I will post pictures later on tonight.

Thanks.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for those awesome chalice frags last night. Where did you get them from?

BTW nice Regal tang, that thing eat's like a pig, your purple tang is one of the fatest purple tangs I've ever seen good lord!

Thanks again!

What's the difference? Looking on line under both names and the same fish - Paracanthurus hepatus. Just curious

There's no difference. People are just picky about the names they hear.

Hippo and Blue is common, Regal is rare to hear. So rare = Demand.

Aside from their location, Hawaii, Bali, Indo etc. They are all the same species, unless they're yellow belly blue tangs.

The one I saw at NSXNR6 was rich in black and the blues were very vivid. Very healthy looking Blue Hippo Regal Tang

fastrd400 - yes the purple tang is still available.... since he wandered into my home made trap the other day, i brought him over to a friends house to hold since it will be easier to catch him/her out of in the future.
