Kogut Posted October 13, 2005 Looks nice. I love the aquascaping. The onyx perc. makes me jealous. The fact that you can keep tans and I can't makes me extremely jealous, too. Quote Link to comment
chuck_D Posted October 13, 2005 haha it is because i have a 3 footer tank. it makes about maybe 40+ gallons.( if i am not wrong) if the tank is too small, tangs have a difficult swimming routine. so better to have a bigger tank for tangs Quote Link to comment
Wobach Posted October 13, 2005 ... 40+ gallons? because your tank is 3 foot long you think its good enough for two tangs? Quote Link to comment
chuck_D Posted October 13, 2005 hahah better than a 10 gallon tank i think. anyway the yellow tang is there only for a while. its my friends. So Wobach, r u a tang police? haha. inexperience you think i am? i have been keeping marine for 7 years. haha. this is my third tank since. Quote Link to comment
Dolfan0925 Posted October 13, 2005 Ya Wobach, what are you critisizing him for!? I've been doing reefs for years too, and I kill tangs in my fishbowl. In my experience if you have anything smaller than a fishbowl it really disrupts their swimming patterns. Definitely don't put them in a glass, but a fishbowl is fine. 3ft tank is too short. I have a 55 and was holding a pretty small blue tang for a friend, that thing needed a tank longer than mine the way it darted back and forth. Quote Link to comment
ecotoxlady Posted October 13, 2005 I think it's a beautiful tank! Love the aquascaping! Quote Link to comment
reefin300 Posted October 13, 2005 nice tank, hits 50.5 gallons to be exact. And I'm not the tang police so no need to comment Quote Link to comment
jafoca Posted October 13, 2005 tank looks awesome to me.. what is the second coral from the left in the top? Quote Link to comment
chuck_D Posted October 14, 2005 thats a goniopora jafoca. the goniopora has been there for about a year. anyway, small tank is definitely not sufficient for tangs. but if you give a good care of it. it will last. anyway they shit alot and this will cause PO4 rising. so beware. haha.

BKtomodachi Posted October 14, 2005 Uh, yeah, chuck... I'm reeeeeeeal sure you're awesome at reefkeeping. Becuase from your posts, I really get a sense of experience. The multiple tangs in a small tank, the goniopora, I mean wow! You do it all. Quote Link to comment
