Thanks guys for dropping by, I hope you got your fill of posts counts today


So I am going to decide not to keep the green scroll, and the same goes for the yellow. I like the yellow a bit more, but i think its time that I let go.

a few days ago, one of the tangs got stuck to the vortech, i was able to peel him off, and has been doing good, looking abit thin, then a day ago, i noticed that there was increased aggression towards him.

I was lucky enough to spot him tonight while cleaning the glass, he was totally in daze mode, and scooped him in one litre jar, to relocate to the sump for now.

he is down there chilling with a viper k2, and some browned out frags, nippin on some nori, all he is missing is the silver chain that says "yallo"

Poor little tang, glad you were able to rescue him and that he's doing better now.

The tank looks amazing as it is, but taking the scrolls out will free up a lot of space. However I do like the look of them and I imagine it will be hard to part with them since you've had them for awhile.

A tang can get sucked in by an MP40? Is this normal?
I'm looking at getting some MP65's.


Thanks,
Mitch

I would think that the tang was in a weakened state,for whatever reason.....the two yellows Ive had seem to revel in swimming head-long into my mp40......cant see how a fish with that kinda strength could get sucked in????

This happened in my previous tank as well, the yellow tang would graze the side of the power head, and with a high volume of water being drawn in, and their circular body it can spell disaster.
IMO, even a healthy fish would have a hard time trying to free themself, if fully pinned.

so to prevent this from occuring again:

1. clean left hand exposed vortech more frequently

2. added a more central grazing spot

Hey everyone,

it was a good reef day today, I picked up a new coral, and Jay (reefcanada) dropped by to check out the tank and pick up a yellow scroll(thanks), I guess it was too big to fit in his SPS side project, so it made the 200 mixed reef., now i gotta see his tanks, this one piece euro sounds and looks dope.

And a few pics.

new coral from Red Coral pre-order thanks Kevin and Carmen
