[johnvu713]

[jjjimmy]

90 in a 150, now that's impressive.

I read that purple queen anthias are vary hard fish to keep and are very aggressive with each other. Is that true? Because those look great schooling together.

In my 225gl I have-
12 fish:

1x Blue Tang 10"
1x Foxface 5"
1xNaso Tang 6"
1xBlue Devil Damsel 2"
1xKole Tang 4"
3xYellow Tang 4"
4xBartlett Anthasis 3"(1 male, 3 female)

I feed twice daily:
Spectrum Small Pellets
Spectrum Large Pellets
Seaweed Selects
Brine flakes

Twice a week I feed:
Frozen brine
Frozen Formula One
Frozen Cycoplezze

A Deltec AP851 keeps the tank super clean, I run it wet and empty it out every day, ORP stays at around 370Mv WITHOUT Ozone:

And the tank itself:

it's commonly referred to as a Lieutenant tang...

 

[djperezo]

wow, very nice tanks here

 

[saltman1]

Can I ask when you guys do a water chnage you must have some things at the top of the tank out of the water for a bit...no??

 

[tang_man_montreal]

i have a large sump that allows me to conduct water changes there without affecting the water level in the main tanks.

 

[jjjimmy]

Several of my acro's are out of the water for 10-20 minutes.
