How old

How old

How long have you had your larger fish (tangs and angels)? I was wondering how much they have grown under your care.

hey reefman, a couple of them the yellow and sailfin I have had for over 6 yrs now. The majority of them I have had a little over 3 yrs. Just about all of them have grown 3 to 4 x their original size. an example is my red sea sailfin was around 4 inches when I got her three years ago, she is now around the 12 inch mark now. Hopefully I was able to answer you question.
Thanks FUA, Yes I have an addiction!!! This is why an upgrade is due in a year or so.
 
Man by the time you get one tank up and running you are ready for another upgrade.

I am getting scared that i am not upgrading big enough to start!!!
Definitely not what Sonya wants to hear. lol
 
lol. I will see how my job goes if it turns around i may try and collect all my equipment and possibly reconsider size/design.

I think i am going to drill the wall and put the skimmer in the garage.

I am going to have to look into my power consumption which has become my latest worry.
 
i was planning to have same dimension as your tank but unfortunately my wall on my new house allows me to have 24" only to be flush on the wall:(. anyway how the angel doing are you planning to have clams in the tank?
 
I wouldnt dare try a clam with either of my angels. My regal and emp love clam on a half shell. They would probably love the addition a clam, but would be a pricey snack.
 
I had an angle a few years back and than bought a clam. I learned the hard way. I wind up giving the angle to a friend. That made me realize you really need to know what your doing. If you dont want to give your fish a $50 treat.
 
Tank is looking really good. Love your selection of fish. Your orange shoulder is definitely something to admire. If I ever get a larger setup that is the first tang I will add to my collection.

On a side note: keep an eye on leeks coming out of the spout of the collection container. After a while scum builds up and causes the valve not to close fully. I have my collection container set up the same way and works great but the valve needs to be cleaned every so often. You definitely don't want that toxic stuff leaking out.;)

thanks for the backup on that eric!
Thanks for the heads up on that JR I know the women of the house will appreciate that. She dosent seem to truly appreciate the smell that can come from a reeflo!!!! Yes my orange shoulder is my pride and joy!
Thanks preacherman. Yeah tangs are great fish!!! I attend counseling weekly on keeping away from fish stores!
 
Well once you sell your Naso tang you can get a majestic Angel i think he would look real good in that tank, some more bright colors. lol
 
how much do you feed these fish everyday? I bet it takes a lot... do you supplement the food at all with vitamins and minerals?
 
Thank Tom!!! I will post some more soon.
Hey brodden. Their daily feeding is this:
Morning
3-4 pieces of romaine lettuece along with 3 sheets of nori
Evening
Home made food with zoe, selcon,carrots, broccoli,nori,shrimp,mussles,garlic.

They eat often, but they are quite fat and happy.
