Tank update

[cdubbs]

Hey everyone, i havent posted in a while but still take a look at the board every once in a while. Right now I have a 125gal with a brazilian dragon moray, a vol lion, dogface puffer, pinktail trigger and a yellow tang. The lion is around 8 inches and everything else(besides the eel) is around 4-5 inches. Everyone is eating fine and getting along great. I was wondering how often u guys think i should be feeding them. I feed a combo of krill, silversides, clam, and mysis shrimp. ANything else i should add into their diet? I will post pics tonight or tomorrow. Thanks

i have been getting some brown algea on the rocks and the glass..any idea why i have it and how to get rid of it? Thanks

increase flow maybe, also you shoul dget alot more rockwork for your fish and eel t feel safe and build them some caves
other than that, looks good.. watch that trigger with the lion as well

ok thanks. I just got the eel that log he seems to like to chill in there with his head popped out the top. The lion is the ruler of the tank and noone goes near him, so i think he will be ok. And i read that the pink tail triggers are one of the least aggressive trigggers.

I would make some more caves. It looks cool though.

thanks alot I will work on getting some more caves in there, my pump for my skimmer broke and i didnt have it on for a few weeks. I got a new one now though. Do u think the algea could be from not having the skimmer on?

thanks alot i dont think i have enough room for another lion though..the trigger is very active but non agressive. i love the colors on the pink tail..my puffer is the calmest of them all he just chills and waits for food..he will hang out on the powerhead all day long..the only one i worry about though is the puffer cause he is so slow but whenever anyone gets too close he puffs up and scares them away then he immediatly deflates himself..i must say it is a very well behaved tank and very fun to watch..thanks for all the positive feedback
