spazizz Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 So I finally decided to do a tank that's not so nano. It was a deal, i work at petsmart and this 47g column tank and stand was on sale. I ended up paying $90 for the whole thing. Here's the deal. The specs- 47g Column tank Cherry Stand 150w sunpod Korlia One Powerhead Penguin HOB ???? lbs of LR Fish- Pink Skunk clown Yellow Clown Goby (decided my frogspawn tasted good to him) Springers Dottyback Yellow watchman Goby Green Chromis (died in the switch) Cherub Angel Powder Blue Tang Pearly Jawfish Invertabrates- Frogspawn (died) Purple shrooms Red monti cap Green monti cap Green monti digi green zoos red zoos GSP Flower aneomone Random snails and hermits Future plans- (?)=not sure/maybe Chalk bass 2 firefish Lemonpeel Angel(?) Blue Mandarin Talbot Damsel(?) 6-8 Chromis Another Pink Skunk(?) 2 True Percs- one being a misbar Anemone host(?) Bubbletip possibly Money cowrie(?) Thoughts would be great since this is my first time doing a larger tank. Hope I didnt miss any thing. Link to comment

spazizz Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Heck yeah it is! I forget Im kinda want a talbot damsel to. Oh I have to use a ladder to get into the tank. Took me forver to fill it up with a bucket ha. (2 gallon bucket at that) Oh nice pikachu but i prefer ho-oh to scorch little fuzzy mouse pikamons Link to comment
spazizz Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 OK so today I bought 46lb of LR, I dont think its enough so ill get some more. But when i was looking at the live rock today i ended up with over a hundred bristles on my hands. I never experienced this before and its some thing i could have gone through with out.. What do you people think of the lemonpeel angel? i wanted some thing big and colorful and i like th elemon peels. Link to comment

Azfishguy Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I would stay away from the lemon peel. They can be quite aggressive. If your going to get one make sure to have plenty of fish to disperse his aggression. If you have him with only a few fish he'll pick them off one by one. IMO i would get something else. Maybe a flame angel or Philippine yellow tang. Link to comment
edge121212 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I will be waiting to see some pics Link to comment
spazizz Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Ok so I am impressed by myself, Im actually satisfied with the rock work. I transfer every thing over into my tank already and I lost the chromis. Evry thing else is doing fine but ill keep a eye on them all when its cycling. Picture will be coming as soon as it clears up. Oh but the lemonpeel is so cooooool. I figured out the fish list and im going to edit the top post to what i want. Link to comment
spazizz Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Ok I want a largish fish for this tank, my only ideas have been the lemonpeel and a kole tang. I dont want the lemonpeel so much cuz Im afraid of their taste for corals but I really like how they look. any ideas any one? Link to comment
Azfishguy Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I don't know what all you like. But if you want something big and colorful i think of an emperor angel. But if you can get your hands on a chevron tang there beautiful. And i just ran across a lemonpeel mimic tang. Maybe an easy medium? I swear im not obsessed with tangs.. But they are bad ass.

spazizz Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 um I know emperor angels get really big but im looking for some along the 3-6 inch range. heres some pics! Link to comment

spazizz Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 damn bro... Well worth the wait! Looks great!!! Thanks now all I need is some help on picking fish. preferably ones that one develop a taste for corals. My cherub was picking at my feather duster he better have just been cleaning it or he'll turn into food for some thing else! Link to comment
Greenstar Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 chevrons turn into a real ugly fish and can get pretty big if I remember Link to comment
