You also have only 2 tangs. Not to harp on the fact of the tiny tank for tangs, if you keep more than one you need at least three. This will keep the aggression spread out over them all, instead of one dominant fish killing the other. For three tangs a 180 should be fine. Before I knew...

You could also do the Stockman mod on the pipes to get the added height instead of the baffles, but the principle is the same, water needs to be above the bottom of the u-tubes.

I turn mine off as well. I have a lot less wasted food to break down in the tank, too. Now I feed what seems to be a more normal amount.

Yes, take steps now or you will have a problem. They'll spread all along the back rockwork where you can't get to and take over the tank.

A guy at my LFS said they got their last order Wednesday until after New Year's holiday. Shipping at this time of year is reserved for packages and no guarantee for live creatures can be given. So they ordered big and will have to wait.

Just curious about what you do for a living. :confused:

Build an insulated box to set around your drainpipe going through the floor to the equipment. Keep it movable for maintenance, but sturdy enough to block the sound. You can use the pipe insulation like dreeves said, too. If the sound is coming from the overflow make sure that your standpipe is...

Hey, I really like the site, but one suggestion. Give a button to cut off the music. It kinda wears on the nerves after a while. The organization is cool. Nice tanks.

Your corals look great, gongrats!

I am amazed at how fast the stripes are coloring in now. Looking good.

Starfish, they are correct. Or may be, I should say. Make sure your glass is NOT tempered glass or it will explode. The same thing will happen to the tank as when a car windshield breaks, it will shatter into tons of pieces.

This is just what I need. A great looking fish and an ongoing storyline. Keep the updates coming.

How about a pic of the new little Bang Guys?
