Nice tank! Aren't you having trouble with the yellow tang and the rostratus? I heard that's could be a bad couple

 

[sebiwinckler]

Hi,
thanks - yellow tang and chelmon became best friends after one week of fighting and hanging around together all day long!

 

[Bugger]

You use a lot of NYOS products. Ive never even heard of them it must be a Europian company. Did you make the web page yourself or did you have some else do it.

 

[sebiwinckler]

Yes, NYOS is a german company and famous in europe for skimmer, testkits & watercare.
Do you mean my website ilovereefing.com?
I made it myself ...! like it?

Wel that's nice to hear, because I love butterfly's! I also have a yellow tang and I'm thinking of buying a rostratus in my next tank...
Does he eat all kind of food you give him?

Please give your experience with the Radion pro being that you switched from t5's. We all know that the colors from T5 is hard to beat but in your experience does the Radion pro come close as t5's?

I have almost the same exact set up as sebiwinckler. I switched from 8 t5s to 2 radion pros 5 weeks ago. The colors are actually getting a lot more vibrant and the growth is amazing.

 

[fishmanstan]

Yes! Someone agrees radions rock!
