    This is also why forums & community's like this are so important. I knew NOTHING 15 months ago. Without people like this & forums I wouldn't be were I am today.

    Just remember it's not the size that counts it's what you chose to do with it . Some of the most sensational tanks I have seen have been 90g. We just went big to feed my tang addiction. Lol

    Thank you. Can't wait for it to grow out a little & coraline to start growing again. Takes time I suppose. It's such an addictive hobby but we have also realised it's such an rewarding one too. Thank you

    Here are a few pics of each individual Bommie on day 6 A lot of the corals are sulking at this point. And not actually in permanent homes yet either, trying to work out flow patterns and best placement will take a while yet. This is a full tank shot at week 10 now, all plumbing...

    naso tang

    thank you at @jay0705 I may have misunderstood, for some reason I thought you were a 4 foot, i have no problems with a 6 footer at all. I am sorry if I made you feel bad but I obviously got it wrong. Go for it, should be more than happy in 6 footer with lots of swim room, maybe consider...

    naso tang

    Those white marks will disappear when he becomes more comfortable. Nothing to worry about. But I have to be honest & say the size tank he us going in worries me a lot. They are very active swimmers. Love to surf the power heads. Mine turns on his side to catch the wave and surfs right along the...

    naso tang

    That last photo is one very stressed Lipstick tang. Those white patches your seeing on his body, white blotches are stress patterns. The white directly above his eyes shoudl be yellow, again a sign of stress. Mine gets those same colours & marking when I clean the glass and he goes and hides in...

    Maintenance routines

    If u have a deep sand bed be very very careful, only rake or turkey baste the top 1cm as it may release some harmful gasses & pockets that could be dangerous to the tank. If it's a new sand bed then its ok to do. I only have a shallow sand bed so I do rake completely over once a week. We...

    ID This Coral?

    Ok. All parameters look really good I would suggest moving it slightly higher in the tank & in a medium flow. It may still be acclimating to the new conditions. I suspect lighting & possibly flow. Try higher for a few days up the flow on it a little. & you should see some changes in next few...
