ANOTHER tang!?! you know, i understand that you made a mistake getting the first one and there's no way you can take it back but WHY would you add another (even if you plan to switch to a 50)?
you have an 8g tank that is not done cycling yet. it's not just that it's massively overstocked, it's that the tank isn't ready for fish at all (save for one clown or a damsel to help it cycle).
i've never once been uptight about what people do with their own tanks but this is ridiculous. and i don't think this has anything to do with the cultural difference.
maybe if you told me what your goal is with this tank, it would help me. i can't imagine that you're interested in keeping these fish long-term.
::edit:: sorry for the incredulous tone. i'm an animal lover and i don't have much patience for people who endanger animals when they should know better (see above).

it takes a certain maturity level to maintain a tank.... and to be honest i dont think you are displaying it.. you just said your dad chucked in another tang and you dont care... as well as other comments of yours above saying the UK is so different when in all actuality i think it is a cop-out on your part for incompatince and ill-research.. sorry to bash you but if you serisouly care about this hobby dont make it evident that you dont care about the health of the fish by saying "my dad threw it, and the scooter in and i dont care because of money".. and coral? what lighting to do you have to sustain it? everyone else is trying to be nice but that stops at a point in my eyes.. i believe the only dumb question is the one not asked, but when someone trys to give you great advic and all you do is make excuses i would take it as a slap in the face...
sorry for the bash but i think you need to care a little more about what you are getting into.. if you dont.. go buy a couple of guppies

well, you're right -- that's what i wanted to say but i'm too nice. i guess there will always be people in the hobby who just think of a dead fish as lost money.
it's a shame.
to fx's credit, he did say he was going to hold off on corals for a little while because of our warning and he is now turning off his lights regularly. that's a very small start but it's something.

i keep waiting to read his next post.... " why have all my fish died?"
man, i have a 30 g cycled it for 6 weeks, checked levels religiously, double checked em at LFS before i added anything, and when i did , it was 1 fish at a time, and at this point i only have 2 fish, a percula clown , and a lawnmower blenny to take care of the algea. and i bought em a week apart, dripped em for like 2 hours, lol.
having a tank is like a friggen job!!! takes dedication and certain level of respect, if you dont have either, you surely wont be in this hobby for long!

i keep telling myself that for every person who does it the wrong way, there's got to be a few like yourself who do it the right way.
