+1 for the upgraded skimmer. I ran both carbon and gfo for a long time and still had particles floating around. Upgraded my skimmer to one capable of twice my tank volume and bang!! Clean and clear wawa.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they're going to live for a very long time, I've had them for a few months now, and I made the mistake of not researching them before I bought them or believe me, I wouldn't have bought them.

Thanks for the advice, however mine feast daily on the frozen concoction I put in the tank. The cleaner wrasse also eats the slime coating on the fish, and seeing as how I do have 10 rather large fish in there with them I think I should be ok. My cleaners are actually pretty fat as are the rest...

Hey everyone, a few months back I picked up 2(yes 2 lol) blue streak cleaner wrasse. I know you're only supposed to have 1/tank, however I figured that with the # of fish I have and being a 8' long tank that they could live in the same tank. For the first week or two the bigger one chased the...

I'd say neither one. Go to home depot and pick up their "watts whole home" system. Looks just like a BRS reactor only it is a fraction of the price. I picked one up for $50, pop your GFO in that and voila! Bye bye hair algae. Or get a sea hare, but be prepared to take him out once the hair algae...

Thanks Fishy. I love all the tangs!! I'm a fiend for tangs. I used to have an orange shoulder tang a few years back. Loved it! Grew fast and was super docile. Always out front constantly swimming the length of the tank.

No worries, I just threw it out there. To be honest, I didn't even pay attention to your tank stats, I just read your reply and tossed that out there. Lol

My Maculiceps tang.

Cute pic

Just adding that this fish is healthy and very fat. He/she eats like a pig!!

Hey guys and gals, I picked up a fellow reefers fish as he was shutting down his tank. I would love to keep this one, however I already have a Fowleri tang so I have decided to sell this one. Shoot me some offers if anyone is in my neck of the woods. Thanks for looking and I'll post a pic when I...

Welcome. I agree with the others. Let your tank prepare itself before you start tossing fish into it. I really don't think its worth killing fish to get you tank to cycle faster. Let nature(or man made nature) take its course. Give it a few weeks at least. Also DO get yourself a test kit and...

I have a Fowleri tang for sale if you're ever in Ontario, Canada. I actually have 3 right now. Have one in my 300g and I just picked up 2 off a local reefer shutting down his tank. Sold one to a friend @ work and have 1 left I'm looking to sell.

I love the Gem tang..........and the long nose black tang but the Gem is a mile out of my price range and even the $600 price tag I've saw a black tang go for here in Canada is a bit too steep for me. I agree with the others that its hard to swallow such a huge cost for something you may not...

The absolute most aggressive fish in my tank is my blue eyed bristletooth tang. When I added my pale lipped and my fowleri it constantly chased/attacked them for almost a week. Now its been about 4 months and they all swim around together. I have at least 4 tangs of the Acantharus genus with no...
