post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

Hello everyone, i haven't  posted on here in a long time... i used to have the 265 gallon reef tank but then copper got the best of that and i had to start all over. So for fear of copper being in the acrylic my twin brother and i decided to go with a fish only, then because we loved having a reef we decided to go with coral insert over LR. pictures will be up soon but our current stock list is:

-Sailfin tang x1

-Blue Hippo Tang x1

Yellow Tang x2

Single Saddle Butterfly x1

Striped Sweetlips x1

Coral Beauty Angel x1

Clown fish pair

Six Line Wrasse x1

Striped Squirrel fish x1

Blue Green Chromis x3

Turbo Snails x4

100 Nas. Snails (on the way)

PLZ Comment!!

You asked, so here goes. First I love tangs, I hope your (2) yellows get along with the sailfin. The sweetlips will grow very large prob about 16" or so, and will eat the smaller fish. That's a lot of Nass. snails. Other wise sounds like very beautiful tank.

If enough copper got absorbed by the acrylic, then snails might not survive. I suggest filling it with fresh water for a few days and testing for copper to see what leaches out.

thanks Mr. Limpid, the tangs all get along great, the sailfin tang fully spread out is about 8 inches from his dorsal fin to his anal fin. he's huge and the yellow tangs are both smaller than him without even extending his fins. Oh I forgot to mention not all 100 are going in the 265, i have a small reef tank as well, but i ordered 100 expecting a few to die off due to shipping. just trying to be ahead of the game lol .... but in this hobby that might just be impossible. laughing.gif

Eric B 125 i used several copper removal products on the tank when it had water in it and when it was empty and to top it all off it was washed with a vinegar solution. I was concerned about the snails at first but I have had the turbo snails for several weeks now and they seem to be doing ok. but then again i guess I only have four so who knows maybe I got some tough ones. shrug.gif

Keep the comments coming!! wave.gif
