cookiemn Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 denbigh97, by the way your tank looks it appears you have everything under control. I somewhat agree with the other PETA ppl *****in' at you, but to each his own. I personally would have chosen a clown because I luv watching their rtelationship with anemones. BTW, when you move the tang what, if any, are you going to replace it with. Also, I was curious as to what clean up crew you have? Link to comment
denbigh97 Posted January 31, 2004 Author Share Posted January 31, 2004 My clean up crew are a few blue and red leg hermits and some hitchhiker snails. I haven't thought about what to replace the tang with yet. Link to comment
wilson Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 i was just wondering what the yellowfish is in the top pic Link to comment
denbigh97 Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 Wilson, the small yellow fish in the first pic is a yellow damsel. Link to comment
AquaMedic Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Gee, your absolutely right. there is nothing wrong with keeping a tang in a 10g. Link to comment
ElectroTT Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 aquamedic, what species of tang is that?? Link to comment
AbSoluTc Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Originally posted by zizmans Dood you are an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yellow tangs get 8" you moron. Do us all a favor and don't post anymore pics of your tank. You are a joke! Ok, now that's out of my system.......Please dear sir, read about the requiremnts of your inhabs before buying them. Your fish and the aquarium community will thank you. Best of luck You are so such a biggot. Anyways, I have seen this tank in person. Every fish and coral in this tank could not be happier. Even the alevopora (sp). It was hugely extended and waving about. If you think a tang in a 10 is bad, I plan on adding a powder blue/hippo to a 20. So.. STICK THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT! Give the guy some credit. Geesh. btw mike - Awsome tank. Hope the 20 looks just as good as the now gone 10 Link to comment
Cichlidius Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 If that is foam on that PH in the left corner of the first pic there is your nitrate prob (foam pads become nitrate factories). Nice aquascaping with some open room on the right. How do you like the coralife light, is yours the 2-actinic 2-10k? You have a float switch, is this an autotopoff? Link to comment
reefjunky Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 im not gonna complain ive made poor choices but a 10 is way to small for a fast grower,big eater that gets about 7-9 inches. a 5 foot tank is recommended.but if your gonna swap him into a larger tank i think its fine because i keep triggers in a 55 until they get huge and i trade em for smaller ones.i had a clown trigger grow 6 inches in almost as many months.

rkplucker Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Denbigh97 - I think your tank is lovely. Nice photography. I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon and fuss at you. I think as long as you realize this is a temporary home for many of your animals then you are okay. I'm not sure if this has been said or not (I started just skimming when the posts were getting just *****y) but be careful adding too many things at once. I noticed your tank is only 3 months old. Beware that you will probably go through a couple more cycles before everything is stable (hence, the nitrate problem). That said - enjoy your tank! Link to comment
quandary_23 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 This is why I like to post late, to see what peoples plans are for fish and corals, etc... I agree with absolutc on this, he has a BEAUTIFUL TANK period. Man, I get lots of ideas from watching what other people do, everything looks great with good color all over. Congrats on a nice tank and keep it up, now your addicted - planning on a bigger tank, than a bigger, and so on I love how this hobby ensnares us all. Link to comment
Rmcm2424 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Saying someone is an idiot because they said putting a tang in a 10 gallon tank is crazy, is crazy. Tangs do need bigger tanks than a 10 gallon. There aren't many fish that you can put in a 10 gallon. I appluad your nads? Mature comment. Don't worry about the fish, your LFS has more. That's ridiculous. If you are in this hobby you should try to make the fish happen and give them a good environment. Think about this, I could keep you alive in a closet. All I would have to do is give you food and water. I could keep you chained in there with duct tape over your mouth. You'd be alive in 6 months, but would you be happy? I didn't think so.

AbSoluTc Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 REEFJUNKY - That picture is hilarious! Not to hijack the thread or nuffin, but all you VA peeps - I was thinking of starting a Va reef club called - RAMS (richmond area marine society). What do you all think? Personally, I don't think a club in DC/MD called WAMAS qualifies as a VA club. I sure as hell don't want to drive up there again. I want a VA club. Not a va/dc/md club. So, anyone intrested or have any ideas? Link to comment
denbigh97 Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 That's a piece of filter floss I attached to the outflow of the Seaclone to control the bubbles. The Seaclone is a bubble factory! Link to comment

corey0613 Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 your sun coral is definately dying! i have kept several before i got it right and that is how they look when they are going downhill. and im not saying that just because the polyps are closed. the color and the fact that the base has lost all the orange are classic signs of bad things to come. how often are you target feeding it?? should be about every 2-4 days for optimum health. mine really like baby brine, but they will eat anything their "tentacles" will grab. shhoting a little phyto it's way wont hurt either. again, it is dying. just trust me!
