Well It’s been close to 5 months now that I had my first 40g (FOLR) and the success of my tank has been pretty good expect for taping the water with salt water which cause high level of salt in my tank and my Tang and Dwarf Angel fish’s to die. Lucky my other fishes survive. That was about close...

Yeah true. I should of first upgrade the tank and then add later the Tang. The only reason why I even add the Tang in first place is to please my women she was bugging me to get one in tank. But lesson learn and now my girl can’t complain anymore about adding a Tang Now. As for right now not...

Yeah that's pretty much my thought when I found out my salt water level... . Thanks
