DSPS tank from Thailand (1000 gallon+)

[melanotaenia]

wow a gem tang, first i've seen. kinda ugly though. nothing fancy but the price tag. lol. good for you

You obviously have not seen one of the beauties up close or as a full grown adult. They are quite stunning fish. Expensive, yes, but truly a wonderful tang to appreciate for it's beauty and uniqueness.

Can't wait to see the new guys in their new home? I think a video of the tank is in order once they are all added in and settle down into their new surroundings.

I am still and continue to be in awe of this amazing display. It is truly one of the coolest tanks I have seen on these boards in a long time, regardless of size.

That's a very nice fish! Personally, I would not worry about fighting: it is very clear who will be the boss I would release the two gem tangs in the tank tonight, if I were you

I will do it soon.:wavehand:

 

[chingchai]

wow SIR how big is the gem tang?
i never have the guts to buy a achilles tang because my tank will always have ick. great find!

bullitr. Just call me Ching.
Gem Tang is around 7-8 inches.
The beauty of Achilles Tang is irresistible.

Ching,
When I add new tangs a method that has always helped me was putting a mirror in the tank for a few days. The tangs see themselves and attack it to no avail. Eventually they accept defeat and stop the attack.

asonitez. Thank you for the tip.

Chingchai, do you still have the same plant material growing with your miracle mud?

melanotaenia. Thank you for your kind words.
You are right about Gem Tang. Yes, they are expensive but very cute.
I will shoot video clip once I introduce them in the display tank.

Paul. Thanks.
I still need two or more of Achilles Tangs. Can you help me?

 

[chingchai]

Chingchai, do you still have the same plant material growing with your miracle mud?

Peter

Yes, I do.
They are mainly Chaetomorpha and Caulerpa algae.

Why not?

I dont understand. Why are these fish in the sump, rather than your quarantine?

I only put new fish from the store in quarantine tank.
These fishes are from long time established tank.
Water quality, temperature stability in the sump is much better than quarantine tank.

IMO the fish should be in QT as said above. Personally I think having the fish in the sump with all those pumps is not the greatest idea. I know there are covers over the intake, but I would hate to see your fish or any fish get hurt because of something that can easily be avoided. T

But, its the same water as in the display, right? So, why not just put them right into the display?
