mushroom head Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Thanks irishtexan! :( My clown tang died today I found him sucked against the powerhead intake. All the other fish were bigger than him,and wouldnt give him a chance to get any food,he was skinny as a piece of paper and wasnt strong enough to get off of the intake Link to comment
flick Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hey man.. GREAT TANK! :D What lighitng is that, whered ya get it, and how much was it? Also how much was shipping?!?! Thansk! Sorry to hear about loss But you had one of these in there?!?!: http://www.aquarius.ima.pl/foto/acanthurus_lineatus.jpg http://www.tjorvar.is/html/clown_tang.html They are gorgeous!!! Sorry about loss! What other live things do you have in it? As in fish wise? I see two clownfish... Do you know what would look GORGEOUS?!?!?! 3-5 green chormis, a blenny, and a yellow tang! That would look AMAZING man! I wish the best of luck to you in future, and got any more FTS? Thansk! Flick Link to comment
Sea_Of_Treachery Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 i would highly reccomend taking that crused coral out of there and replacing with fine sand,lots of detritus will accumulate and lead to nitrate production. btw what kind of tang did you have? Link to comment
flick Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 He said Clown tang Clarkii.... Which is why im double checking... See the links i supplied above... lol Flick Link to comment
Sea_Of_Treachery Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 FYI a clown tang needs at least a 150-180g aquarium as they can get up to 15" in length, i am not supprised it died, probably because of stress in a tank that small(even if it was a small one). i would stick with the smaller species such as a yellow,kole,mimic,scopas, or tomini tang.

mushroom head Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 Yeah Yeah ive heard what they said. And good for you your not suprised it died. Its 1 1/2" right now,and all the fish are bigger than it,and never gave it a chance to eat. And im sure you know what happens when somthing doesnt it. It looses weight and dies. And then i have powerheads. Well you know what somthing that is paper thin and hasnt eaten in days and is getting sucked against somthing,it has no strength to pull it self off of the powerhead. And since the powerhead keeps it stuck against the powerhead,it got all cut up. And since it was in bad shape already and then gets sucked against a powerhead then gets all cut up,it dies.

xavier1 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 sorry to hear about the tang! but your tank was WAY WAY WAY to small! jk so ya,good luck on the upgrade! Link to comment
irishtexan Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Im really sorry to hear about the tang I hope everything works out. texan Link to comment
reeferbarra20 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Yo, Mushroomhead , what kind of lights do you have on that tank? Pcs or T-5s? I'm no expert but i do knoe that clams require intense lights to be able to photosynthesize properly, ---Just my 2cents! Good luck! Link to comment
ACBlinky Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 There's a pic of a MH bulb on page 5, that fixture looks like a mix of MH & PC or MH & T5s to me -- not sure how many watts he's got though. Mushroomhead - keep up the good work, nice tank Link to comment
mushroom head Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 reefgeek-lol,thanks! irishtexan-Thanks! reeferbarra20-right now i have a 6 bulb T5 fixture. Each bulb is 54watts,and i have 4 white bulbs and 2 blue. And ACBlinky is right,there is a pic of a MH bulb,i was using two 150watt MH over my holding tank untill i got the 70g tank. ACBlinky-Thanks alot! Also hooked up my coralife super skimmer,dang that thing puts out alotttttttt of flow. And the water line isnt high enough,so the water just spills into the tank splashing water everywhere. So ill have to raise the water line and get some longer tubing for the output. Hey Flick! Never seen you posted there about what fish i should put in the tank,lol. I would love to put in some schooling fish,like 5 chromis. But the problem is that once they search the tank and find out there is no predetors or anything,they wont group and just swim alone But since my clowntang died i might get a yellow tang,i found a guy with a small one for sale!

irishtexan Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Awesome! I say go for the tang. JMO texan Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Young tangs are hard to keep for some reason they are a lot more challenging than keeping an older tang... Nice Tank though! Link to comment
sea man dan Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 are the still running the t-5 fixture? Link to comment
mushroom head Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 proraptor2-hmmm,mabey ill get a larger tang instead,but i just like smaller fish,dunno why. But its fine if i get a larger one. Oh and Thanks! sea man dan-yes i am still running the T5 fixture. My frined is making this bracket thing to hold the T5 fixture so it is like 2inches above the water line,right now its like 14inches above the water. Oh and my mandarin and one of my clowns died,guess they died because i thought the tank has cycled,but i guess it wasnt Right now there is only one clown left,and it has major bad ich,i think its going to die to. Well i guess i wont have any fish now Im not going to add another fish for a month or so. Link to comment
mushroom head Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 Well my 4 PJ cardinals and fox face are doing very good so far! I just got them not to long ago! Oh and the clown that had really bad ich,he died. Ill also be gone for vacation for 9 days so i got someone to feed and top off my tank. I hope he doesnt screw up the tank while im gone and i come home to lots of things dead. Well thats all for now. Link to comment
