New Clown Tang in my 73.5" 150g

You have to use an outside video sharing option. Youtube is the easiest, but you could do vimeo or photobucket as well.

Going to venture with a guess that you didn't think about Scooter's or my comments.

Well, since we have the massive room for whatever size tank, and we're picking up the 7' tank on Saturday, we aren't really too concerned about what happens when he grows, because we're planning on building a system just for him anyways.

Worst case, we I have a 250 gallon coral set up in my heated garage that has NO FISH in it, and he could be moved there temporarily, worse case.

I have some options. But so far so good and I'm really enjoying the fish.

Can you see the pictures I posted? Making sure they are working. I can see them,.. not sure if everyone else can.

They're visible but quite large.

I'm a 25"4k screen and seem to fit perfect. S on a smaller screen they probably format way too large I'm guessing.

What happened to the back half of the yellow tang?

What happened to the back half of the yellow tang?

I'm hoping that the rock is hiding it

Or that's one deformed tang.

Update the clown tang has doubled in size now I believe. Colors are really coming out. AGGRESSION is low compared to its yellow tang tank mate who is just a hair longer then the clown tang, but started out much larger originally (some months back)

tank is too small. eventually he is going to be the only fish in the tank.

Agree

Ya but I can get whatever size tank I want under 500 gallons without breaking the bank. I think it's going to be OK. My plan has been to transfer him to a 7' long 220g that I have, but with a new life change I don't have time to set it up until summer. I think the fish is fine for at least 12 more months.

 

[exsequor]

I agree I probably will never put too big of fish in too small a tank again just for the pure aspect that catching them is no fun

Beautiful tank. I love the squirrel fish you have. Really nice fish!

Here's a shot of the entire DT

Upgraded to ASM G3 skimmer which produces 50x the skimmate as the corraline SS (super s%&$) I swear. I empty the cup 2-3 times a week and it STINKS SO BAD (the SS skimmate did too, but it took like a month for a entire cupful to collect, and I had to always tinker with it).

With my trigger systems sump and it's variable height control on the water height, I have NEVER had to tune the skimmer it kicks ***.

I am also running an ATO along with a 4-way doser, so that seems to be win-win for the fish and the coral.
