slesia, as always thx for the compliments.
Bruce, it is a 210 all glass tank with the x-large AMiracle fuge with red and green gracileria macro algae, 15W Aqua-UltraViolet Sterilizer, Red Sea berlin X-L protein skimmer. 72" Corallife 4x96W PC for lighting. I have 13 fish total, just got my water tested by the fish store on Saturday, I get it tested there once a month. Ammonia-0, Trites-0, Trates-15, Ph-8.3, Calcium-490, Alk-8. I would say that my tank is doing fine, it has been up and running for a little over 2 years now. I feed twice a day, JS dried seaweed, mysis, brine, prime reef, krill, new life spectrum pellets, form. 2 pellets, and all of this is soaked in vita-chem and garlic Xtreme. BTW I run 4 Vita-Chem filter media bags instead of activated carbon, lasts about 4 months, try it you'll love it.

Sailfin--7"--2 yrs
Longhorn Cowfish--9"--3 yrs
Purple Tang--5"--1.5 yrs

BRUCE, I am envious of some of the fish on you list, particularly the achilles tang. I did mean chemi pure, i apologize. It is great stuff!! I do weekly water changes as well. 25 gal. per wk= 100 gal mo.= almost 1/2 of my tank water. How big of water changes do you do. I used to do 80 gal. once a month, I can't even begin to tell you how big of a difference weekly water changes makes.
To be honest with you if you are keeping an achilles tang don't change a thing you are doing maintenance wise. People can say what they want about you having too many fish, but it's not their 210 to stock it's yours. You do what you want. BTW something that might help you is the amount of live rock. The more you have the more place these fish have to hide/sleep/call their spot in your tank=less confrontations. Just my .02'
What kinds of foods do you feed your fish, let me know all of them from frozen to pellet/flake, and seaweed.
Post some pics please I would love to see your tank.

alyssia, teviesfish, thank you guys for the compliments.
As far as the cowfish goes they can potentially produce a toxin, but they say the likelyhood of that happening is slim. Whoever wrote don't keep cowfish with aggressive food competitors was way off on my fish, I guess I got the ODDBALL. Mine is the first to the food everytime, heck when I feed pellets he doesn't go for the pellets, he goes for my hand. :notsure:
