    Purple tang

    I consider a Purple Tang to be the prize of my tank (120 gal). From a distance they are beautiful but when you get up close and really look at them they are fantastic. The details in the purple portion are amazing. I have had mine for over two years. When I add a fish, the purple tang has...

    Reef Tank w/ Purple Tang - what to add?

    Thanks for everyone's input - In particular I've been thinking about Beth's coments and giving serious consideration to changing out the CC substrate for live sand before I add any more fish. I really don't want to do it but I really wish I had gone with sand in the first place. I've been...

    Reef Tank w/ Purple Tang - what to add?

    I had been considering a Flame Angel but wondered if it would be to agressive for the purple tang. Also I would prefer something more unique. From what I've read, a coral beauty would be less agressive but with the tang being mostly dark purple I was hoping to get something with a lighter...

    Reef Tank w/ Purple Tang - what to add?

    I have a 120gal Reef tank that has been set-up for about 2 years. I had saltwater about 30 years ago and just got back into things a couple years ago. One of the things I promised myself was that I would take things very slowly this time around. So far my mortality rate has been limited to...

    Cleveland Area, Need To Make Room.....

    Please email me when the RBTA is available - I would love to be able to get some Xenia but the drive to Cleveland wouldn't be worth it for just the Xenia.
