Hey guys, my supplier just got a small scribble angel in. Its about 1 1/2 inches. Do you guys think that the fish will be too small for my setup -?

i Small angels need to be fed a lot. He may work as he is so small and not a threat to the larger angels. its not a risk id take personally

As you guys know from the Fish discussion thread, I lost the Emperor and Queen from a power outage,two weeks ago. I've been really down,after this loss, and I decided to come back here for some support and advice. I want to thank everyone for all their love and support during the years, you guys know who you are :)

Sorry about your fish, man. Best recommendation I can make is to buy a generator. It's one of the best investments I ever made and saved my fish a number of times. Otherwise, just wait for the tank to stabilize again, then replace the fish that died.

Dude. Im at a loss for words. You have more patience than I do. I would had sold the entire set up 5 times over if it were me. I respect you for not! That really sucks but we are all here.

Maybe its a small set back but also a blessing. Now you can buy 3 smaller angels of the same size at once. Introduce all at the sametime. Get the Emp Queen and Scribbles or Passer

Thanks for your support guys ! Pete,I'm definitely looking into a generator,I'm not sure which one to get.Yea Crypt, this was one tough loss, I just lost the Gold Puffer today.He was never the same after the power outage. What a low blow for me. Now I have to start all over. Right now I have the 6in Hippo, 5in Sohal, a 4in Yellow and Purple Tang and a small Humu trigger.
I have two yellow tangs in the QT right now. I'm looking to get two flames this week. And later on I'll look into the Angels.

Hey guys ! I'm trying to get back into this wonderful hobby. I was wondering if a Lion fish would be a good fit for me -? Thanks

I would chill for a few months man. Just let the tank do its thing. get some growth in there on the rocks and just take a deep breath and just hang out and enjoy what you have. IMO your tank has never really just been left alone. Its been ich distaster. Then fish after fish after fish. If it were me I would wait right now. Wait until This months ends. Then I would pick up some angels if need be. Problem with a Lionfish is any full sized angels will nip at it and could cause death to itself or both the lion as well. I know you want some angels. You still have a clown fish in the QT set up? Then after this month passes by start looking for a few angels. OR Buy the angels after your tangs are done QTing and then qt them for a full 4 to 6 weeks. Then I would wait 3 to 4 Months before adding any other fish. You can alwasy add a few dwarfs angels later on without many issues.
Any new pics?

GTD also put a MASSIVE and I mean Massive UV Sterilizer on that thing. Get a 18 watt Triple twister if you can get one and let it run for a few months also while doing that HYPO the whole tank down to .17 yes you will kill all the rock but ICH will not Survive it. When I set up my 150 I had the same issue I had a freaking fish hit me with ICH and that was how I cleared it up. It worked.

Hey guys ! I know its been a very very longtime, and I'm sorry I took so long to get back on the forums, but a lot has been going on in my life. So.....basically I'm getting engaged soon, then I'll be busy planning a wedding and soon I'll be out of my parents house :D Bad news is, the tank has to go,my parents want their basement back when I leave. And I know my tank can't go on a 1st or 2nd floor. So basically the tank must go, so I'm looking to sell everything as a package. Any ideas how much I should I ask for -?
