[BlueTang<3]

yeah no blue tangs for us the naso is the only tang for me we had a 90 gallon with a bonded pair well maybe not just two smaller ones that were never apart attached at the fin i guess lol before hence the name blue tang with the heart lol so i try to keep the bio load down as the crappy skimmer and the rose is even better in picture thanks BOB for it just imagine the brightest neon pink you can that is the colour i will try for a better picture :biggrin:

[BlueTang<3]

they are not the Bartlett anthias there a lyretail i got 4 just cause they were the most amazing colour bright orange with purple eyes and one is transforming into a male as for sps it is doing pretty good we have lost 2 frags so far in about 2 months not bad i must say i never really liked sps when i first started but after going to calgary and seeing full tanks of it it looks amazing and yeah it is a start

[BlueTang<3]

so started a full zeo system already noticing a difference in water clarity and polyp extension what camera should i use i will try for pictures or my sps tomorrow :biggrin:

[BlueTang<3]

Love the flame hawkfish......just chillin in the background....doin what hawks do.......sit there:biggrin:


yeah he is a cool dude like to watch us always watching us

[kien]

Very nice!! I love your fish selection. I'm a fan of the flame hawkfish too! Unfortunately I have lots of inverts (sexy shrimp, glass shrimp, etc) that he would probably gobble up :biggrin:

Still no sign of a BlueTang though.. :lol:

[BlueTang<3]

actually he sleeps with my cleaners and peppermints maybe eyeing them up for later yeah no sigh i only got 35 fish so cant really fit in a blue tang yet working on it for u tho lol so pics of my bangaii minutes before releasing fry http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/bluetang3/IMG_0495.jpghttp://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/bluetang3/IMG_0494.jpg

[bwi7]

i love the size of a 180 it is big enough but not to big...... nothing is over powering looks GREAT keep up the good work!!

[BlueTang<3]

well i had a interesting week gone for 5 days over easter came home to a dead frag and a 2 birdsnest colonies with tissue loss as my calcium was 300 and alk was at 4 :cry: waiting on my calcium reactor should be here any time and came home last to this http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/bluetang3/IMG_0951.jpghttp://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/bluetang3/IMG_0952.jpg the ro unit housing blew up and a ton of water on my floor everywhere

[mike31154]

Yow, very sorry to see something like that happen. How could a filter housing pop like that? Have never seen anything like it. Pressure that high in your plumbing?

[BlueTang<3]

well its got a booster pump on it and well power was funny yesterday but they were having a problem with the unit for some time now

[The Codfather]

I suppose your going to blame that on me?

[BlueTang<3]

yeah its entirely my plumbers fault he gets a mystery wrasse and i get a water stain on my wall lol

[BlueTang<3]

So he we go again from the crash, it is back up and running again thanks to The Codfather for watching all my crap while i was getting set up again.

http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/bluetang3/IMG_1034.jpg

[The Codfather]

Glad I could help.

http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/bluetang3/IMG_1034.jpg

[Greenmaster]

What's a nemo?

Finding Nemo is a computer animated movie... Nemo is a clownfish.

[BlueTang<3]

Haha, nemo was a note for us to know what fish are in the tank so we can do a head count once and a while, lol they are our pair of ocellaris clowns.

[Greenmaster]

Two things... do you have a sump? and do you feel you are close to your bio limit?

[BlueTang<3]

As for the sump it is a 90 gallon tank. Bio load probably i do not have any algae issues or other issues because of it corals have good colour. We am also running a large skimmer for the tank and pull some nasty skim mate running a full zeo system also helps with a larger bio load.

[Greenmaster]

Thanks I'm trying to figure out what my "softcap" is at with a 320g tank and 100g refuge.

[BlueTang<3]

Nice corals, hows the frag you got off me doing?



The frag is doing great, i snapped a few shots again last night. http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/bluetang3/P7050029.jpg

[lorenz0]

glad to see it is doing well for you. looks like the frag i cut for you is going to branch off nicely too

but i see alot of nice stuff in the tank

[andestang]

Just went through your thread. Nice set-up, you have some real nice SPS pieces and the RBTA - awesome ! Just a question regarding your RO/DI unit. What ever became of it ? Like what caused the break and how was warranty handled ? I have the same unit and also having problems with it. And now warranty help has come to a screeching halt.

[BlueTang<3]

All my issues were handled through Marine Aquaria where i bought it, the problem they had was with the canisters improper moulds leading to hairline cracks. The manufacture has issued and corrected the issue with supplying new housings and canisters. Why it cracked for must have had a hair line crack but i am glad i was home to find it. I since purchased a water on the floor alarm and shutoff that when it senses water it shuts it off at the source correct any leaks. A great guy to deal with is albert_dao from proline aquatics he is a member here on canreef. Knows these units like the back of his hand.

[BlueTang<3]

So came back from the weekend at the farm to a few browned out corals, nothing major but i was concerned with the ph a little low. Upon digging into the tank found skimmer was not running.

http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/bluetang3/IMG_1172.jpghttp://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/bluetang3/IMG_1170.jpg

[Greenmaster]

That sucks... still on warranty?

[fishytime]

Finally saw Wes's tank in person and ......WOW!......very nice yous two......thanks again for letting me come and see it on such short notice and thanks again for the frags mang!:biggrin:

[lastlight]

My condolences! That doesn't look like a cheap repair...I hope you're still in warranty.

[BlueTang<3]

My condolences! That doesn't look like a cheap repair...I hope you're still in warranty.

yeah marine aquaria warranted it for me if not that new impeller was 300 bucks

[Madreefer]

Nice. Too bad it was bad timing. Would have liked to see your tank. Nice anthias. You have more than one? I wanted to get some but they were $150 each and I wanted 5. I like sleeping in the house so I never got any.

The clowns are cool would like them to host the anemone but no luck yet. I would say the best part is every time my hand goes into the tank they come visit and sit in my hand very friendly fish.

Have cut it down to around 24 in the last bit

[BlueTang<3]

Love the sunset anthias! Great pics!

Thanks just trying to keep up to your pic quality :mrgreen:

So it took about 5 months before the clown would even go close to the anemone no he wont leave it. As for the Mandarins they were in together for a few months and well not until i added moon lights they displayed any affection for each other. Now its every night

[fishoholic]

Great pic.'s Wes :biggrin: Love the variety in your tank.

Well got my frag tank done just need to wait till thursday for the silicone to cure fully

Are you planning on fragging that poor bear? :cry:

[BlueTang<3]

He is about all i can keep alive :wink: he has low light and flow requirements and is very hardy and does not care what his parameters are as long he stays of of the dogs mouth.

[BlueTang<3]

Are you planning on fragging that poor bear? :cry:

I could sell him as a softie ?

[kien]

He has browned out a bit.. could use a bit more colour. Did he brown out when you put him in the frag tank? I would probably brown out too if someone threw me in a frag tank.

[BlueTang<3]

I am not saying mine is not nice, I have seen nicer and left wondering and waiting for my sps to mature. Seems like I go through a tuff spell some times as I am sure everyone does. Get a piece to colour up and grow nice then it get a bit of tissue loss. Levels bang on that i can test. Its nice to have the frag tank now to clean up the bottom of the display tank. But as Denny said my Bangaiias breed frequently but i cant catch them and that leaves us feeling... helpless for the fry.

The shot of the three of them, that one in the top right is amazing

[BlueTang<3]

Denny frag tank is off limits.

The clams are about the size or loonies i would say i am going to give 2 of them daily phyto baths and 1 every few days and see how they react. I am at 12 clams now i am running out of real estate on the bottom of the tank.

[Madreefer]

That fish is so cool! Always been a favourite of mine. I did'nt know they were reef safe. I gotta stop by on one of my trips home from Ft.Mac to check out your tank and grab some frags.

Not small invert safe, he has some anger issues towards my girlfriend tries to eat her through the glass. I don't know why tho when she stands to look at her clams he charges the glass mouth open wide. I think he has eaten the few snails and hermits i had left. As long as he does not touch me or our clams its all good. Yeah it was bad timing this summer with the leg surgery and all. But look through my thread and if you see any peices you like make a list and i will start fragging for you.

Very upset to come home yesterday to a empty clam shell. Today i came home to the file fish wearing a clam on his face. Clam looks of but file fish has a sore looking nose.

[fishytime]

eeeek!.....so whatcha do about your little offender?:twised:

[BlueTang<3]

He can now live in the frag tank he did such a good job of cleaning the aiptasia i cant really be mad at him.

[outacontrol]

Sorry to hear about the clam, hopefully both the clam and filefish pull through.
Good news is at least you know for sure who is to blame.

http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/bluetang3/IMG_2039.jpg


Thats awesome!! Was he swimming around like that or just sitting on the bottom?

[BlueTang<3]

He was barely swimming reached in and picked in to pick him out. Separated the clam with a screwdriver to free the fish. Both subjects are doing great.

[lastlight]

Holy sweet photo it's not everyday you see that! It's always nice when you discover the cause of some reef-related issue AND get to have a solution as easy as that too.

Yeah he is starting to look better when i first got him i took him right out of the bag almost. He was in the bag for 4 days i heard. Was not looking to promising the first few days http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/bluetang3/IMG_2040.jpg

[Delphinus]

Definitely looking a lot better! I'd be surprised if he doesn't pull through, haddoni's are usually pretty hardy. Mine ate everything in sight and that's why I don't have haddoni anymore but if I ever came across a pink or a red man I'd have a hard time sticking to my guns about not having haddoni anymore.

No changed my frag tank into the carpet tank. He has eaten one of the clowns i put in with him already tho. and is still inflating and deflating. Were at a week in hoping he makes it. Ive been told if it makes 2 weeks its a almost sure thing to live.

The smaller tank is crushed coral that i dropped the bag a few times to break up the shells and rocks. I like flow so it needs to be big substrate.

Picked him up thursday, he is doing great ate after 5 mins of being in the tank got him from a private tank he has a few years in captivity.

Thanks Mike he is probably one of my all time favourite fish especially when he swims upside down.

Yeah pushing over 20 000 gallon per hr in the display right now added a mp 40 for now to play with the fish are making a lot of frags tho swimming into stuff.

[frizzo1983]

looks awesome I was also thinking of adding 2 mp20s off the back wall to get more flow.

you can still get the 20's?

Looks great! How are you liking the pair of mp60 vs more mp40s? I'm concerned about things growing within the first foot or two...is the flow quite broad and gentle?

[BlueTang<3]

Looks great! How are you liking the pair of mp60 vs more mp40s? I'm concerned about things growing within the first foot or two...is the flow quite broad and gentle?

Yeah the 40's were much nicer for that. Added the 60's and have had a ton of tissue loss from being burnt from flow. The crappy thing with the 60's is they need to be 12" from the surface of the water. Thats half down my tank :sad:. They are having a few issues and not happy with them. Wont work with my battery backup. Wont stay in night mode and in constant flow they ramp up and down like reef crest.

[lastlight]

Yeah because of the fact that my tank has the overflow on the end and I don't want any powerheads on the other viewable end I'm restricted in where I can place these things. I'm concerned about putting one or maybe two 7500 gph pumps directly underneath my overflow as I'm trying to direct detritus INTO the overflow right? So now I'm thinking mp40s will be the way to go. Most on the back wall but perhaps one or two under my overflow as well.

How are they in terms of noise compared to the mp40s?

[BlueTang<3]

The one that is not ticking is fairly silent. But they are much bigger than the 40's so they are louder. Actually right now i can hardly hear my 40's but the 60's are humming.

uber-cool Wester......wonder how well they'll deal with all that flow?:wink:.....thought about trying one meself but worried about my flow

[fishoholic]

Very cool are they eating mysis? Where did you get them from?

[BlueTang<3]

They are not eating but picking on it. They seem to be handling the flow well once they settle in ill grab more pictures.

Some exciting and sad news. Well mush have been the stress from the move but the seahorses had babies. Sad news is i ran and shut off all flow and tried to catch them but they quickly became fish food :sad:

[MMAX]

What T5 bulb combo are you running on your 180?

[Wayne]

Awwww thats both cool and sucky! Good luck with your new additions I can't wait to see them! :lol:

[fishytime]

that is sad, but if you can take something positive from it, it would be that your fish got a nutritious treat:mrgreen:

Yeah it does well for it's size, I was scared he would get picked on but seems it takes no crap from no one. Constantly grazes and eats like a pig its crazy to see how fast it's growing.
