New Wrought Iron

Danorth,
There are 15 large angels and 3 pygmy 4 butterflies and 1 puffer. I moved the banded and lemonpeel hybrid to another system. I will see if i have a good pic of the blueline if not i will take one for you.
 
I would love to hear to about your filtration setup? That is quite a bio-load you have there. How often are you doing water changes? More pics!!!!!!!!! Regards, Tim Also have you been quarantining these guys or are you running a really low salinity while you acquire fish? Thanks, Tim
 
Hey Tim,
My filtration is nothing more than a hollowed out wet/dry with trays for floss and micron. I run an asm g3 skimmer...18 watt uv and run carbon and phosban constantly. Carbon gets changed every 2-3 weeks. I do 60 gallon water changes every week. I feed anywhere from 10-20 times a day. Anytime i walk by the tank i add something for them. I go thru 5-8 sheets of nori every day. Depending on the fish and where they came from i do not always qt. My salinity is 1.020. I keep a small amount of cupramine in the tank to cut down on parasites. I do alot of things outside the box and have for 20 years with great success. There are still a few fish on my want list but i will not add anymore to this system. I moved the banded in with my leafy rhino today. He wasn't being picked on but just a little too timid during the feeding frenzy. I gave him a slower pace tank to make sure he is getting enough food. I will add a few more pics tonight.
 
Sorry to anyone's pm i did not get back to. I got a message from Matt saying he might be getting a few more in if anyone is still looking for the wrought iron. I am thinking of adding another myself. Thanx again guys for the compliments!
