yes I know....we all know (didn't you read the post?)

I saved him from is 12X12X12 cube at the LFS....Now he can stay in his 30X12X18 cube until the bigger tank comes (trust me he is happier now than getting chased around by butterflys all day long.

yay for saving him lol and he must be TINY if he looks that small in a 29g tank. i have my 29g set up but cant get fish for another 3 weeks cuz my parents are lazy... i want to get a bicolor blenny, pair of percs, and a yellow clown goby... do you think this sounds good?

I think you have too much in that tank. :nope: take out the tang
You can put about 8'' inches of fish in your tank.. Youve got about 16'' inches in there now. Go by full grown size..
tang- 6''
angle- 6''
6 line- 3''
other fish- 3''

Nice looking tank Mongoose! How's all that flow treating you?
How much rock is that in there?
You mentioned you add Coral Vital, iodide, and calcium; what do you use to keep alkalinity in check?
One suggestion I would make is to slowly raise your SG to 1.025 or 1.026. Your corals will respond much better to a SG inline with NSW.

Haven't you been reading anything? He is going to get a 65 gallon and move it into there. And I bet it isn't going to be 6" by the time he moves it. Looks like it is about 1-2" right in the pic.

lionfish, chill out.
You dont have to force your opinion on someone. No one is going to learn anything when you "tell" them what to do.. advice is penty. he already knows its not enough space for a full grown tang for that matter...
Very nice looking tank mongoose. :happy:
:happy:

Could be just a few months though.

Lionfish, yer kinda becoming a nusance IMO. Really, ive been thinking this a while. But really, yer being totally ignorant these days. Obviously, this person knows very well the problems, but they did a good thing. Also, that is a SMALL tang, not 6". Yer judging on adult size. That fish is one and a half inches tops. And that small angel, is okay becuz they stay relatively small and they dont need a ton of swimming room. That tank looks SOOOO nice. Love the rock work, so jealous. My rock work is okay, but not nearly as nice. I cant wait to setup my 30 reef and get some nice rock work going on. Beauty u got there.

Yea, those corals are great. BTW carp, i read a lil back about a cucumber that u said would clean sand and wont crash the whole tank down. Id love to know its name, lol.
