Oh i missed that one. My IE explorer said 1 item remaining for 5 minutes and i couldn't be bother to wait, Im not very patient

 

[kidney514]

I see you changed your avatar, Now can you imagine having 3 or 4 of those in one tank, must be absolutely beautiful.....

 

[Reeftanks6]

Kar very nice new avatar. Love those tangs.

 

[kar93]

Yeah must be, the ich would be my biggest worry though. Im thinking of adding one to my 200, it might only be one fish but its a big decision.
Here it is if you're interested:

Well, my lfs seem to be convice that It can be sone if i let them acclimate in my fuge for a couple of week and then transfer them to the tank. Anyways all of this depends on the size when they arrive.

 

[kar93]

You might want to post in Reef Discussion about it and see what others say before buying them. Some LFS's are good but it always best to confirm on here IMO.

 

[kidney514]

Ya will do when they arrive, for now it's pointless. If he gets them and they are big, it will be only one....

 

[kar93]

I've never seen a small one. I would really like to see what there colouring etc. is like.

 

[Reeftanks6]

Yea i mean they are a great fish it just the level at which they are to keep which is very hard. I mean you dont want to buy an 80 dollar fish and see it die of ich trust me i had it happen as you already know kar. But know i am trying to get something to prevent the ich from coming back and learning more about the ich problem. But i dont think there is much out there that can protect it. But i am not sure.

 

[kidney514]

UV can prevent ich very efficiently, I think you have the proper flow going into the UV to kill the ich.

 

[Reeftanks6]

ok thank you but what size uv would i need for a 90.

 

[FFrankie]

There is that assumption again. It's not about your tank size. You need to include all the water in your system. Do you have a sump? How much rock is displacing your water volume? I have a 120 but my total water volume is 195. I run a 25w uv 24/7.

 

[chibopelu13]

wow

 

[Reeftanks6]

ok i see my tank is about 120 or 130 all together

 

[FFrankie]

25 watter would be great for you

 

[kidney514]

isn't there specific flow(GPH) depending on what you want to kill with the UV?

 

[kar93]

I've never used a UV but i think they come with the right sized pump for the tank they are rated for. Vecton TMC is supposed to be a very good make.

 

[kar93]

Any news on when the tangs will be here?

 

[Reeftanks6]

yea anything on the tangs??

 

[kidney514]

haven't gone to the lfs yet, in the process off putting a pool, so been busy a bit......
