spectra Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 would love another tang...but let's keep the budget under $50 =P. hahahah All I saw was a open swimmer no mention of a budget You have a reefer so you should be able to afford a good fish....... Yeah my LFS has a few smaller Purple Tangs and they are 175.00 a pop I think.......Chevrons are up there also......I did see a poor mans purple tang today Blue Atlantic Tang and it looked pretty cool looking. 1 Quote Link to comment

I saw this black tang at my LFS with white dots. It was a beauty. It was crazy expensive though. Maybe I should just get two more anthias but different kinds...but they eat and poop so much. 2 Quote Link to comment

PDR Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I read a ton about dwarf angels and finally decided to get a flame angel for my 350. He's been in there about 2 weeks and the first couple of days I was kind of worried because he seemed to sample (no damaged) just about every coral and piece of rock in the tank. After that and cleaning up every speck of gha on my zoa frags, I haven't seen him even look twice at any of my corals. 2 Quote Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I been stalking their site every night and they just put up new ones =). I wanted to get even more...but I worry how true to color their photos are. Some look tooo actinic. There are still some nice $20 ones left on the site. From the ones I've gotten, they're all pretty true to the colors on the site I find. The only thing I found was one that I thought was more purply really ended up being a bit more brown in the skirt, but i still love it. 1 Quote Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Loved my last flame angel, probably one of my fav fishes.... Nipped and nipped at my sps till there was no pe. Caught him in a fish trap and wihin 2 days of him being gone everything was back to looking good. 1 Quote Link to comment
D Z Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Get a couple borbonius antheas Awesome fish...basically a step up from a sunburst anthia, but theyre even more expensive than a purple tang or chevron, and thats forr just one. Pairs usually go for 400+. 2 Quote Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 This one is begging you to take her home: OMG look at all the babies around it!One to the left of its skirt and one growing above it on the tank. I got one similar to that for $20 last time I was there. This one has purple stripes within the white lines 2 Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 That is a nice looking one. Also looks like a couple of babies in the pic to I need a few more but am waiting.... 3 Quote Link to comment
Kijho Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 So beautiful... Our LFS has a few, crazy pricey $100+ ea Quote Link to comment
kimberbee Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Will let the tank stabilize and get some more SPS. Montis, birdsnest, and stylos are all doing great but acros not so great. I've got a little acro frag you can have. It was purple-ish brown in my bio cube, but has turned BRIGHT green under my nano box!! I think I have 5 or 6 frags that I need to start getting rid of!! 2 Quote Link to comment
gena Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 OMG look at all the babies around it!One to the left of its skirt and one growing above it on the tank.I didn't even notice the babies until you pointed them out . 2 Quote Link to comment

ninjamyst Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Came home to a dead anthias. The one in the nano passed away. It was looking great and eating great. I dosed Prazipro last night. Maybe I overdosed? I followed the direction and added 1/4 teaspoon. I did a 20% water change on Sunday. Maybe I should have changed more water before redosing. Maybe I should have added it back to the main tank. Sigh. Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Aw that's too bad. Sometimes there's just nothing to be done. It's easy to second guess yourself but if you followed the instructions maybe it was just not meant to be for the little guy 3 Quote Link to comment
