Go to any decent hobby store and you can get accelrator for a few bucks. I use it in building -- airplanes all of the time.

I think it would depend upon what type of corals you are mounting, Zoos & mushrooms would spread to surrounding rocks. You could mount them directly to rocks, but I have never tried it with the rocks in the water.

hey Kevin, they have a thread in fish photography about mimic lemon peels. I don't know if they are common in lfs where your at, but I haven't seen any in OK, which may not be saying a lot.

Thanks for the help Mike. Goodwin, is there a size or behavior difference between a foxface and a magnifiscent foxface? Will one fit in a 125 along with 2 tangs and other small fish like clowns, a jawfish, royal gramma, and a pennant fairy wrasse?

 

[newtankman]

WOW…I mean WOW, amazing tank.

 

[mike22cha]

I'd also listen to others like Goodwin's advice but I'm pretty sure that would be fine. The thing I'd be concerned with is the choice of tangs. Make sure not the same body shape.

Goodwin, first of all i'm in love with your tank. I'm sure you get this a lot but how much has this tank cost you so far if you don't mind me asking.

I think Im leaning towards the purple and kole along with some kind of rabbit fish (preferably a magnifiscent foxface).

 

[mike22cha]

I think that will work. Add the purple tang last because they are the most aggressive tang.

 

[kevin34]

Are kole tangs aggressive in any way? Also will the purple tang attack smaller fish like a green mandarin or a fairy wrasse if they are added in after the purple tang?

in general i dont think koles are too aggressive, but i have heard stories of them being. same thing with the purple. theres a chinese restaurant near me that has one in their tank and it doesn't bother anything, but then there are others that wreak havoc, it just depends on the fish. regardless, i would make sure that the purple was the last fish to be added.

Where did you get your frags from? If you can't say on this board can you PM me?

They must be closely related. I know I would have a hard time telling them apart...
Goodwin9.......your tang is a powder brown, I have a white cheeks.....Very similar, but for the white markings.

Excellent tank by the way....love the tangs.

[wbsurfer101]

So are you just sitting bck now and watching it grow. You should put some plants in there too. JUst a suggestion. i dont see them that often, but i think they are awsome. must be a downside to them. But man, i know uv heard this a million times but... I wish i were you...

The lights are on individual timers set to come on and go off at staggered times in the morning and evening
