Finally, i get to post here. 225 LOG

t5nitro, i think doing that list in a 180 is fine....just make sure you keep up w/your water changes.
 
t5nitro...I don't know if you quarantine, but I would quarantine the moorish idol for the additional purpose of food training. John37's idol looks fabulous.

John37,

Nice tank setup. Hopefully one day mine can look as nice as yours. I also have a pair of Idol for 3 weeks and a Regal for 2 weeks. I bought the Regal from that fish place in Cerritos you posted on the socal forums. The idols i purchased from a diver in Hawaii while vacationing and brought them on plane with me. All fishes are in a 60g quarantine tank for food training and disease control. Happy to say Regal and Idols are eating NLS pellets, Mysis, nori and their favorite: Clam on the half shell.

I was wondering how often do you feed your Regal and Idol and whats the majority food they eat.
 
very very nice cthetoy.
i cant put my idols together cuz the smaller one that's been in the tank for a while beat the crud out of the larger/newer one.

awwww...you're the one that took that regal in the back/right tank. man, i was waiting and gonna take it if it made the weekend. You got quite a deal on it i heard. haha, very nice.

Sorry I took your Regal :cool: I'm sure they will get some more again on Friday's. It's hard to find a good healthy Regal for the price they gave me. Since you've seen it do you know if it was a male or female? Ill post some pictures but this is your thread so Ill post it on the Regal thread soon.

How often do you feed your fish per day? 1x? 2x? 3x?

Thanks again for recommending me to that LFS. You should ask Buddah (the owner) for some referral fees :D
 
thanks drummereef.

my feeding is random....some days i feed once a day if busy, others 3-4 times and sometime i dont get a chance to feed them. but about 75% of the time i try to feed 3x a day.
 
Hey, well i've decided to go a new route w/my tank.
one reason being that many of my wild sps rtn'ed on me. most of the frags i got from reefers are ok. i also sold my beloved MI since he picked at some lps and clams. I also sold my angels(except for the regal).

i had to move some corals to my frag tank and i took out a bunch of rocks as well for a more open look. Tank looks pretty empty right now but i'll soon move more corals back in.

i added some flasher wrasses as well and changed all my bulbs to 20k radiums instead of the 10k xm's.

here's a pic, looks empty but you can see the rockwork.

Here's a cool video of some flasher wrasses that i added today.

you always have the sweetest fish. i think if i was in your shoes i would've kept all the fantastic fish and keep only corals they don't nip at. is that basically a fowlr? lol
 
if i kept all those fish yeah, probably woulda turned into a flowr...man i reallly love fish, i was actually thinking of setting up a 180gal fish only but i've decided, to cut back on the big spending.

ez....are you stalking me? :D
 
How do you like the 20k Radiums? Are they SE or DE? I have XM 10ks SE and I am looking to change them out as well for a more bluer look. Do you think your wild SPS RTN because of the bulb or your water parameters?
 
i believe radiums only come in SE.
i think they RTN'd because my alk was realllllyyyyy low cuz i was being stupid and lazy and didnt set up my CA reactor(it's set up now BTW) i dont think the lights had much to do w/it. also, wild colonies dont seem to have that great of a track record.

i'll let my tank settle down for a couple more weeks and then i'm gonna ask my GF to buy me some frags for Christmas....hahah

she always gets me fish stuff as gifts cuz i dont care about anything else. so far she's bought me countless fish, oregon tort, and my schuran CA reactor. freakin awesome
