How long have you had it?

Ok, I did a search on these forums and all the post that contain pictures of large queen conch are too old and the photos have been deleted. Can some of you please post? I understand Bang has a large one. I would like to get one, but want to make sure he wont soon outgrow my 135g. I would...

We have had the tang for about 2 months. He is nt a heavy feeder. Heaven knows I give them enough food. I hope there is nothing wrong with him. Think I should move him to another tank? The coral is definately not a colt. It is stiff, and more tree-like. I have a colt in the tank, however.

I came across a used sump at the LFS so I added it as a refugium. Water flows from tank to trickle, from there it is pumped to the refugium. It is then gravity fed back into the sump. I used a standoff tube so I can adjust the water height in the fuge. It also has a bulkhead higher just...

Originally Posted by clown123 looks like mr.yellow tang there is getting beat up? No, it is Lateral Line Disease caused by stress and improper diet. The previous owner did not feed him veggies. He is getting better and he actually looks much better in person than in the pic.

BigB - he is awesome. Are those things over him really part of his spines? What kind is he?

Last one came with a tank we bought and we are nursing his HLLD. He is getting better though.

From what I have read the Niger Trigger is the most passive. Different fish, even from the same species can have different personalities. Here is mine: Keep them well fed!

I just luv hawks!

First 3 are our 125g, 4th is our 135g (recient purchase) and 5th is our 12g aqua pod

First 2 - sold to us as a yellow tang, but has a different bosy shape. To me it looks like a juvenile orange shoulder tang from what I have seen in books. Last pic - I believe it is a leather, but can anyone get more specific? Thanks

Mine has been multiplying like crazy also. The new shoots grow 1/4 inch a day!!

Let me go try and I can report what it feels like! Ok, I am going now...................... .......................ok, I'm back. Just itches a little. Nothing to worry about. Wait a minute. What are those voices? Oh look at the cool colors!! Oh man, I'm covered with spiders...

We have a yellow eye kole's tang and he is the absoulte best! You would not believe how he keeps it. He is like a cow grazing all day long. We have a fighting conch that has been in the tank for a long time and had some algae on his shell - he even cleaned that off!!! I believe any of the...

The key elements in the cycle are Ammonia and Nitrites. Both are quite toxic to fish. Once your tank is cycled the Ammonia will be converted to Nitrites and then Nitrites to Nitrates. If there is any Ammonia or Nitrites then there should be no fish. Also - did you purchase "live sand"
