Here's a good question that no one has asked...what do you feed and how much food do you go through on a daily or monthly basis? also, any vitamins or supplements?

 

[thor32766]

Daily schedule
Mornings 3 full sheets of nori along with 2 large leafs of Romaine Lettuce.
Early evening I have frozen mixture of shrimp, mysis, formula 1 and 2. Krill, garlic selcon and zoe. I premake it once every couple months. This way when I come home I just defrost the food on RO/DI water and in it goes. I also throw in two more large leafs of romaine.
Tangs should be fed often. In the ocean they are grazers and eat all day long. A lot like cows. So when we put them in the home aquarium and feed less often they become more aggressive and territorial towards food. HTH.
thanks again tangwich!

I saw the 220 when it was up and running. That tank was amazing, I could only imagine the 450 how it looks in person. lol

 

[thor32766]

Thanks lusenut!

 

[roktsintst]

what are the dimensions of the 450?

SeaWorld in your house! I'm waiting for the sea otter to swim out of there. I can't wait to see this tank again...unbelievable.

 

[tangers]

Thanks for all the kind words. I think it was more fun building it rather than work so the pleasure was all mine. By the way have you smoothed over the 3,000 gallon with the misses yet??? Looking back at the pics I think we could easily do it!

 

[thor32766]

roktsintst- 96x36x30 is the measurements.
Pacific, still waiting on the permits for Clyde and Seamore!!!! Thanks
Yeah, tangers working on the specs now!!!

Stunning..!

You look like a pretty tall fellow and that stand comes up pretty high on you. How tall is the stand??

Here is Chuck aka the Chuckinator aka Chuck 4000. He goes up the stairs way faster than he goes down but he's fine.

Some of those fish are huge!

What are some of the sizes of them?

The unicorn, Naso's look big!

 

[thor32766]

The stand is 42" tall. I wanted to have it so when you walk up to you its right in your face. Chuck is adorable! Bulldogs are so entertaining.
The naso with the large streams in close to 14" I would say. Hes a big boy. Most of my fish are pretty big. All of them except the(naso) i have had over three years and all of them have more then tripled in size.
The most ridiculous growth is the vlamingi. He went from 3 inches or so to 10" now. Thats in a little over a year.
