Braun036 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 @Mike PAre you serious well I guess that is what happened to mine. Quote Link to comment
Braun036 Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 just posted a video as the tank is one week older lol. Everything is looking really good. But if you notice my branching hammer in the lower left does not look to be doing well any advice. Quote Link to comment
Braun036 Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Adding the new clown fish to the tank. I am not sure how long I should leave him in this little holding cage. I am afraid my clownfish that has been in the tank is going to eat this little guy Quote Link to comment
Braun036 Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 So far the clown has not even gone to the top to check the new guy out. The tang is a little more curious Quote Link to comment
Braun036 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Finally got my new gold tip hammer today. This photo was taking after he was only in there a couple hours so I will post another one tomorrow. But enjoy for now Quote Link to comment
Braun036 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 And here is another update on the tank. Everything is going really well I had an ammonia scare today turns out the test is junk. Almost gave me a heart attack!! Waiting for my Hanna checker for ammonia to show up which should be tomorrow. The clam and yellow tang are doing really well along with everything else. I turned all the lights on the tank so I could take some better pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment

Braun036 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Well my hammer/frogspawn garden is looking great today 4 Quote Link to comment
Braun036 Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Does anyone know if I am able to put a clear piece of plastic or glass in between my Australian golden torch and hammer to prevent any future issues. Nothing has happened yet just not sure I like them two heavy hitters next to each other. Quote Link to comment
Braun036 Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 What I might do as a matter of fact is pull the Elegant out of the tank completely put the Australian golden torch where the elegant is now and then buy another hammer or frogspawn and put it where the golden torch was Quote Link to comment
Braun036 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Okay so I had to remove the elegant out because he wasn’t playing nice. With the hammer that was above him or the Duncan that was to the left of him. And because I don’t like things hurting each other he is out and back at the LFS. But I wanted to show you guys his replacement. Got a super cool hammer coral to go in its place. Tell me what you guys think. 3 Quote Link to comment

Braun036 Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 @John L thank you I think it looks like it sat in a nuclear reactor. Just really cool looking Quote Link to comment
Braun036 Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Okay just another update it seems like my branching hammer coral that is purple and green tip has grown two more head so that is exciting news. I have also cut back on water changes to only when my tank needs one. I was changing my water every 4-5 days no matter what. I just tested my water once a week and change water accordingly. Things look great Quote Link to comment
Braun036 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Just another update video. Everything is doing great. Going to be getting my 91 gallon set up in a few weeks. I can’t wait Quote Link to comment
Braun036 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Well last night I added a small frag of acans I am pretty excited they look amazing. Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I found this after your clam post I am glad to see the Tang will get a bigger home. Even if you caught it and traded it, every time you have to catch him would be stress on your reef as they can be difficult to catch. Also every new fish could bring in disease and wipe out your other fish so trading in the Tang is a risk to your livestock. There is even a parasite called Uronema marinum that is free living, meaning it doesn't need a fish host. So if it gets brought into the tank, it will stay there and could infect any fish you add. This can mean a complete tear down of the tank and sterilization or just not having fish. It is not worth playing with fire. Your tank is beautiful, keep it up! I really like the red sea tanks.

Braun036 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 @tamberva Thank you yes I was planning on doing that at firstbjustbswapping tangs as got bigger but then I thought to my self I am truly in love with this hobby and would rather just buy a bigger tank. So in March which is only a couple of weeks away I will set up a 91 gallon Red Sea tank. Then if everything goes according to plan I will be able to start moving corals and fish over in May. I am just very upset over this clam. Quote Link to comment
sna66 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 hi this is beautiful... i didn't read through your entire thread, but did the tang police get to you yet? I have a red sea max cycling right now and plan on making it my ultimate tank, but I don't even know where to start with aquascape and live stock, so many options. following along 1 Quote Link to comment
Braun036 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Thank you very much. And yes the tang police did mention some things but they backed off once they found out that he is going into 100 gallon in a couple weeks Quote Link to comment
