the 1700g stingray reef

Thanks for your reply, Spazz.
Harlequin's face looks agressive, but in fact they are very peacefull fishes, at least mine is. :) They are definatelly meat eaters, mine likes frosen shtimp, squid, ... I have a lot of hermits and many different molluscs in my tank, he does not touch them. Towards other fishes he is also very tolerant, never chases anyone, at the same time other fishes does not disturb him. He is one of my favorites fishes, he lives in my tank two years. I like him very much and highly recomend to everyone.
Kind regards,
Lev

I would love to see them. its great to see people from other countries here on reef central. with the language difference its hard to find reefers from countries that know english. I don't know any foreign languages so Ihave to stick to the english reef sites. :D

I love my Harliquin and have had him/her about 4 years. Mine does eat snails and shrimp (cleaners, peppermints, Fires), even a few pistol shrimp that venture from their dens. Otherwise he is a model citizen.

First off all, sorry for the offtopic Energy. It is not right to discuss anything apart from your wonderfull system in this thread.
Gint, Ptichi Rinok (Pet Market) has been mooved to another place, but it is OK, and bigger then ever. Moscow is a nice city, though it is bloody cold here in winter. If anyone want to discuss something about Moscow or my setup, please write in my thread.
 
Hi everyone, sorry about the long delay between posts. I'm just starting to get back into "tank" mode. A harlequin sounds intriguing and I know they are beatiful fish. Do they eat softies or zoanthids? I have removed both my orange spotted rabbitfish, my yellow belly Blue hippo tang and a large vigrate because of unwanted grazing and picking. Spazz has one of my rabbits and it's mowing down everything in his tank. The mega skimmer is in construction. Spazz(and carman to) will also be building a new sump. I have removed the airconditioning unit and will be going with a titianium heat exchanger. I will hopefully be installing a 400 gallon water change tank. My current 100 gallon tank doesn't come close to changing enough water at once. I hope that all these changes can take place over the winter. With my work and life nothing is a guarantee so all I can do is cross my fingers that I can get to it. There are quite a few possible changes taking place to the system to provide increased temperature stability and the capability to change larger volumes of water at once(in case of emergencies or such).
 
Energy,
Harlequin Tusk Fish dont touch Zoo's or softies. The are a member of the wrasse family and grow large blue canine teeth the use to great effectiveness on mobile inverts. Usually shrimp and crabs, but the occassional snail or two as well.

They are a beautiful fish and somewhat fearsome looking as full adults with a mouthful of large blue teeth, but they rarely cause issues with other fish that are large enough to avoid being eaten.

Thanks Maxx- My main concern would be if it eats Zo's or softies since I'm really trying to
re-estblish these in my tank after my rabbit's wiped them out.
 
No, that wouldnt be an issue. Keeping any sort of shrimp or crab might be a challenge though...

I would suggest finding a small one, and raising that in your tank, being careful not to feed it any small live fish. That should reduce the chances of it going after smaller fish as it gets older and larger.

Nick
 
You're quite welcome.

I just wish I lived close enough to see your tank in person some day...

Bill Wonn and Spazz have given me some good advice . I will be using city tap water run through the heat exchanger to cool the aquarium. The heated tap water will then run into my ro/di unit increasing it's productivity. After it's finally set-up I'll beable to give better details.
