bertz_maru Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 nice setup.. i like your rock work.. very nice... do you have a sump or fuge that the overflow goes to or something? oh yeh.. is that a tang in there??? dont you think the tank is too small for him? just a question.... im not really sure the tank size for one of them... nice setup Link to comment
joeydanielle Posted September 8, 2003 Author Share Posted September 8, 2003 yap , thats a blue tang , i must say soon he'll be too big for the tank , i got a 75gal tank housing frontosa , just didn't want to convert to sw yet due to the cost , propably later . i do have a 15 gal sump as well housing mainly marcroalgae , thanks for the compliment on my rockwork , it is always changing when i buy new corals , must have done the rockwork more than 10 times .is my placement of corals ok?

wetworx101 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 really cool rockwork...I enjoy the look of frameless aquariums so much...did you build yours yourself or did you get it from somewhere? BTW, I know youre going to get it for having a tang in such a small tank, but i say as long as it has somewhere to go as it grows...all good (IT WILL have somewhere to go in a few months, right??!!).

swlee99 Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Hi: I noticed from yuor pic that you have a hippo tang in your 15g tank? I got a 20g tank and tried to keep a small hippo tang and got lots of disagree opions from the reefcentral forum debating that hippo tang requires at least 75g tank what do you think? Link to comment
joeydanielle Posted September 10, 2003 Author Share Posted September 10, 2003 agreed the tang needs a much bigger tank , at 1" for now he's still ok for a few months , thats 1 reason to do an upgrade. Link to comment
