Nice tank

Be careful with that giant cup mushroom in the picture with the Atlantic blue tang, as he is capable of eating some fish, I have seen one eat a yellow tang, and yours looks even bigger. If you see him release some strings through his mouth, that is the lure.

ya he did that last week once. havent lost anyone ....yet. I feed him twice a week though maybe be that helps

 

[jnarowe]

Wow, I thought that was a plate!

 

[Zoos]

Well keep a close eye on him, feeding it will help I'm sure, but it still makes me nervous, your large fish are safe but the small-medium curious ones.....:eek2:

I had one smaller than yours about 8 years ago that ate a
yellow tang
neon dottyback
pygmy angel
damsel
and whatever else i don't remember.

I figured it out because the next day they release a slime which seems to be the left overs to put it nicely, and I noticed mine had a bright yellow slime........ and no YT.

doing great still working on my voltage in my house( anywhere from 109v-123v) with the new neck 8" and the new buble plate. Spazz(scott) also was nice enough to redo my plumbing so thats better as well.

 

[matt & pam]

Is the hot pink coral a lace coral?

 

[korbynlehr]

What is your fish total up to?

 

[spazz]

i like the additions to the tank. its looking very nice! i take it that you found that overhang rock over at coral reef farms? they had some awesome stuff when i was there. sorry to hear your still having problems with the electrical in the house.

Voltage fluctuations are a pest in S Florida! They are appliance killers, especially when it comes to the rainy/stormy season having tons of power outages for seconds back to back.

Post some pictures of the difference in the skimmer between now and before. How is the new plumbing improving the performance? How is the new plate different?

Things are looking great.

we found out that our electric company actually lowers voltage available to certain areas to spread it out and cover demand. They also specifically cut the power to a particular area when there are storms. How did we find out? measuring voltage during a large construction project...an entire neighborhood was getting low voltage and a couple residents got the info. out of the linemen.

Searching for a Dussumier Tang

LiveAquaria has this listed as a Acanthurus bariene, but I think it is a Acanthurus dussumieri. I could be wrong. But it looks exactly like mine and I am 99.9% positive mine is a Acanthurus dussumieri.

Here is the LINK

Here is a PICTURE of a bariene.

And a PICTURE of a dussumieri.

Beautiful tank, man.

Your making me jealous!

I'm supposed to be getting a 480g shark tank this summer. So I'm looking forward to that.

Btw, awesome tank!!!!
