I appreciate all of the advice........ I have alot of caves for him to swim through and he is def. putting them to use. he flys around this tank, which makes him very entertaining to watch. Hes also eating very well. I have to admit though this was an impulse buy and Im strongly considering...

I was told that this would be ok because this particular tang doesnt get that big and is very slow to grow. Is this the case? here is a pick of my tank. the tang is not in the pick but he is about 3-4 inches long

Originally Posted by Stanlalee you can run your halides from 1am to 8am and off all day if you like as long as the tank gets at least 6hrs worth for photosynthesis. I run mine based on when I view the tank. Moonlights from 8am-12pm, halides from 12pm-7pm and moonlights again from 7pm-10pm. I do...

Originally Posted by fishfreak1242 2x175w metal halides should be enough. You might want to just get 1x250w metal halide instead of 2x175w. The differences in the bulbs is color. The higher the number the bluer it gets. Like 20k is pretty blue. 14k is more white with a blue tint, 10k is white...
