Whitten Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Juliet your tank contiues to amaze me. You have been at it for over a year now, and both of those tangs look very healthy. I have no doubts that if you ran into a problem that you could take care of them. Simply put your tank looks the cleanest, most well kept, and monitored of any on this site. I am going to use your Aqua scapeing as inspiration for my own tank. I love what you did and you just keep on plugging, xien said it best. Thanks for the pics and keep them comming. Your tank is now my background. Link to comment
Cesar Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I should have never shown this to my wife. Now she's asking "Why can he keep a Blue Tang in a 13 and we can keep one in a 20" Damn it! They are cool for sure though. Link to comment
DRZL-sauras Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 The guys a doof...He posts pics of his tank w/ tangs and all he prbly knows how to read is "good job juilet!!" Hes done this before and left people arguing for days. couple days later " hey all I have 3 tangs in a 2 gallon ok bye!!" Dont even waste your breath he doesnt know/care what your saying. Tank cleanliness does not equal good husbandry, no matter times he wipes down his algae his tank is not getting any bigger, bottom line hes got 2 poor saps (tangs) living in what would be a bathroom stall. soo....."hey all" Link to comment
Whitten Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Some people just don't like this guy I guess. I have never known a person to have such a healthy looking tank that has insighted so much bickering...oh well. I like the tank....soo...."hey all"? Link to comment
supernip Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 It's a girl. If you got off the tang issue you'd have notice, unless you're referring to someone else then in which case I dunno. Her tank rocks, all proper equipment. Everything is well taken care of. This thread disappoints me. Link to comment
Kogut Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Amazing tank. I love when people go all out for their tanks and don't spare any expense to make it what they want it to be. Steve/xien2000corp... You are my hero. haha. That was a brilliant speech there. I spend money on my tank because I enjoy looking at it. If I had a tank as nice as the one I've seen in this thread, I'd spend lots more money to keep it looking so nice. There are plenty of other fish in the ocean. When a clownfish becomes an endangered species because all the little kids want nemo (Depsite the irony w/ the nemo obsession and the movie's point), someone tell me and I'll immediatly buy a plane ticket and fly my fish back to whichever ocean the majority suggests and replace each and every coral, invert, and fish in my tank in its "natural habitat". Sorry your thread has gone off on so many tangents... It really is a nice tank and may be deserving of a new thread free from people who like to point fingers... : (Not mentioning anyone in particular here) Link to comment

reefsrule Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Originally posted by Whitten Juliet your tank contiues to amaze me. You have been at it for over a year now, and both of those tangs look very healthy. I have no doubts that if you ran into a problem that you could take care of them. The problem would most likely be taken care of by replacing the fish. This thread dissapoints me as well. Now the rules are no tangs in a tank less then 75 gallons unless your tank is sparkling clean. If no one liked the beautiful aquascaping and cleanness, then, well, you know. I though the rule was that the fish requires more space for its mentality, not for just algae concerns. If this is the case, then I guess I can have a baby shark as long as I keep up with water changes. Also, I would like more info on how the tank looks cleaner then a tank that I have just set up ??? Not saying that the photo is fake, but its interesting. Too bad she doesn't know much english though. Anyway, People need to make up their mind. I thought there was NO exception to a tang in a nano, but oubviuosly I was wrong. Link to comment
supernip Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 No. Regurgitation and dogma are what disappoints me. Not her drop dead gorgeous tank. Tang looks fat, healthy. No biggie. Aquascaped in a way where he has swimming room as well. In relation to the size of the tank, that tang's like an inch or two max. It's about the same size as the clowns. The ratio of tank length to tang body would be similar to that of a larger 8 inch tang to a 75gal, if not better in her nano. Have you thought about the rules you're talking about? They're so vague and don't say much. All a bigger tank does is add stability; and equilibrium can be controlled with a bit of effort. Your argument has little basis if you insist on these outdated, and unfounded rules. Please stop spitting BS. K thanks Link to comment
supernip Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 PS the glass is clearer, starphire. Way sexy. Constant water changes and a skimmer will also clean a lot up. A lot of tanks look like this. It's not magic, it's elbow grease. Please stop being a follower and think for yourself. Ask intelligent questions and keep an open mind. k thanks again Link to comment

yoshiod9 Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 lol. diy hit that nail on the head. everytime i look at her tank i am just blown away at how freakin clean it is. Link to comment
Bikelock Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Like I said in my first post, most of us wish we could have a tank this pristine. Link to comment
reefsrule Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Originally posted by supernip No. Regurgitation and dogma are what disappoints me. Not her drop dead gorgeous tank. Tang looks fat, healthy. No biggie. No, this is what a happy tang looks like Seriously, how can you tell from the pics? Sorry my opinon is "spoutin BS", but I also know that even baby 1 inch long tangs can swim long distances (from information, I never had one). "The ratio of tank length to tang body would be similar to that of a larger 8 inch tang to a 75gal" this I agree with, but if you go to reef central you would know that certain tangs aren't suitable for even a 75. BTW, What's the growth of tangs? how long can they live in that tank, cause its been mentioned that they haven't grown and I'm confused about this. "Aquascaped in a way where he has swimming room as well." So all this means its okay to have an FO tank with 2 tangs and 2 clowns (no live rock, more swimming room) sorry about having a different opinon and now it seems I'm the only one. Why do we even invent rules then. I've seen tangs with plenty of swimming room and flammed to death, why because their tanks aren't pretty enough? On another note, I really wish I could know more. Like how she's keeping the fish without algae blooms ect. She doesn't seem to have any special equipment, but I might just not see it in the pic. They seem to use a different method because a lot of asian tanks I see look the same way while none of ours do. Link to comment
reefsrule Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 BTW, okay, so I'm a follower. But I'm not convinced to think otherwise. A lot of what I learned about nanos started here, and this site helps me TONS. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&highlight=tang theres not a different approach to tang keeping in nanos so why change everything. Madarin gobys are being tried with a different approach, and even I'm trying corals and inverts that aren't supposed to do well in captivity. Heck, I wouldn't mind a baby tang in a 10 for like a month or 2 as long as the person was definently going to upgrade, as in having the larger tank NOW or having someone you know who will definently take it. I guess it isn't right to judge this person because I don't know her plans, but no tang in a nano still stands for me. Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 personally, if you think you can do it, try it out! i've tried out a lot of things in my tanks(i've got three) and i just learn to keep my mouth/pictures from appearing on any forums. i've always wanted to try a baby tang but i do know how susceptible many tangs are to the smallest changes in water chemistry and whatnot(reports of blue tangs that get 'saltwater ich' for a day or so when their owners did a water change! i think i read that in anthony calfo's book). anyway, if people have got a lfs that is willing to buy/take back the fish when it gets too large or something and they want to try...freaking try it. its your money(goes along with my views on a. lordhowensis...it's your money...if you wanna spend it that way, then do it)!

DRZL-sauras Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I feel like im in the twilight zone. I guess it all depends on the way you aquascape your inappropriately sized tank. I wonder if it invloves sister galaxies as well. The rules your trying to break bad boys...arent meant to be to cool for school rules, its an approximation...and already very conservative low-balled approx. on a fish that roam hundreds (thousands really) of feet a day. Even as 2 inch juveniles, roam tens (if not hundred) of feet at the least, not less than an armlength in inches. Again i guess this is where high stakes quantum physics comes to play. A 75 is considered a small "large tank" for these guys a 12? its downright retarded. I guess when your asian to supernip you can do no wrong. Can all of us play? If youve got a nano (SMACKK) bad boyy!!!, put the tang down!!! put it downnn!!!! Link to comment
supernip Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 please you derrhead. Bringing out the race card? I've defended many people's reefs and shot down many, regardless of ethnicity. Don't try to make me look bad with your emotional responses. Tangs do not swim 100000000000miles in a straight line, bun bonnet. They know how to turn. Where do I start with these moronic responses. Focusing on one aspect and ignoring every other one. I bet you still support the war in the middle east, solely for WMD reasons. Get a life you asshat. Don't even try name calling, I've been around since ESPI. Link to comment

ebin Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I do not see how a person can keep a fish in a tank and flame someone else for keeping fish also. Fish live in the ocean the big ass body of water that covers most of the earth. If you put a fish in a tank its in a tank, not its natural habitat so we all are guilty. I never understood the whole tang thing, who really gives a *** anyways. Link to comment

Can all of us play? as much as I agree with what you said you kinda went over board there X) "Fish live in the ocean the big ass body of water that covers most of the earth. If you put a fish in a tank its in a tank, not its natural habitat so we all are guilty. I never understood the whole tang thing, who really gives a *** anyways." but, does the fish SWIM this entire body of water? dang that some fish, they aren't whales! "I do not see how a person can keep a fish in a tank and flame someone else for keeping fish also." If you have a clownfish or goby, you would know they spend most of their day hanging around the same area of even the smallest tanks. Fish like chromis who fit in a nano are still unsuitable for one because they like to school too. Tangs swim far distances, and it wouldn't be to hard to convince that maybe they aren't suitable for even a 100 gallon. but, there is oubviously no point in argueing over this, as I am now convinced that people have decided that nanos are now okay for a tang, that it is "outdated information" for the no tang in a nano rule. The only reason that I continue to debate this tedious issue is because of the poor fish, and no doubt this will have newbies running out to buy dorry. Link to comment
