Quote: I haven't taken many pictures of my tank due to the GHA... it's an eyesore and quite embarrassing to say the least so I avoid from taking pictures and sharing The primary person that has to enjoy the tank is you. If you can live with the GHA fine if you are not getting any enjoyment from...

My thinking is simply this. The moment we add new saltwater we are depleting whatever trace elements that are used by our tank inhabitants. Now we take water from this reduced state and add it to our new tank. IMO that is counterproductive. BUT you do bring up a very important issue. Are we...

Quote: Some tangs will eat algae, some won't and IME, most won't. This is sooo not true. Tangs are herbivores and their diet in the open ocean consists mainly of zooplankton and algae even in an aquarium their diet needs to be mainly algae

Here you go my friend you can still see some of the red on the edge of his fins

going to see if i can snap a new pic for you my friend brb

I am going to agree with flower here IMO you are not gaining anything measurable by using old tank water (filter media if it’s been in you other setup for a while yes water no) also the pvc feeding your sump I assume that comes from your overflow box do you have a material filter in that box...

I have also seen pictures of a large school of Banggai but that was in the open ocean. Think tank size will play an important part in the home aquarium. I hope bang guy joins in

banggai cardinals i believe but Bang Guy is the expert on them so you may want to reach out to him

Quote: Are you saying we shouldnt keep tangs if we can't allow algae to grow wild? I am not saying that at all. What I am saying is that as a hobbyist one needs to attempt to provide as natural an environment as they can for the species of fish they keep. Tangs are natural constant grazers. If...

That’s force feeding as opposed to natural grazing

Not sure what of if you have a question. If a hobbyist is going to keep a tang or multiple tangs they have to be sure to meet their nutritional needs and that includes enough live rock with good algae (not hair) growth to satisfy their constant grazing

Sure what the hell do you care, take all my money there goes another $115. I hope you all are very happy

IMO you need to feed your tangs at least once a day and provide enough live rock with algae growth for them to graze on. They are constant pickers. I have never seen a tang eat hair algae

I agree Henry but it is an interesting Sea Slug to keep in established aquarium systems

i love it when you talk Cycle
