Gabe, my tank is BBT like yours but I wanna know if you vacuum your tank?

 

[Bebo77]

i have good flow in the tank.. enough so that the debris accumulates in one corner, i do syphon it out...

Yeah it is now.. After it ate all the stuff it could eat. ..

J/K man.. It doesn't bother softy. I had to sell most of my colorful LPS because of it. I also lost a bunch of nice zoa too.

Does your pipe fish get pushed around with the flow of your tank? I like them but I was told they need low flow, like a seahorse.

i have 3 mj 1200 mods, 2 tunze 6200" full boar and a wavebox... he never ventures into the middle of the tank where the flow is.. he is smart enough to stay in the corners where the flow is pretty mild at best...

Wondeful pics Gabriel.

Your tank is something to aspire to :thumbsup:

As for the AT, I have always wanted one. Very difficult to find a decent specimen. IMO, QT is a must, and a low stress environment is important.

Cheers,

Jim

gabe your tank is too nice =)

I have heard Achilles is one of the hardest tangs to keep! Though once it's feeding and has enough swimming room, I think it's ok. Just the beginning is tough =/

I suggest you leave Hawaiian fish aone. Im Hawaiian and get sad every time I see less and less fish. The water is already being polluted by tourists. With a guaranteed death rate, it is such a waste to get an Achilles
