45 Gallon Reef Tank

[funnymakeslifesunny]

how much is the overall cost to maintain one of those including the fish, decor, hood, skimmer, and everything?

This tank is too small for ANY tang. It may be 45 gallons, but it is too boxy anyway. Tangs need long tanks b/c they need the good swimming room. I hope you have plans to upgrade or give them to someone with a bigger tank.

Besides that point tho great looking tank I love the shimmer effect!

Its a Reef Octopus hang on back BH 100F protein skimmer. Thats all I'm running. Currrently, I have the Yellow Tang and a pair of Clown Fish.

[jillianmarquett]

Nice, probably too small for any Zebrasoma species.

what is wrong with you people? yellow and sailfin tangs should absolutely NOT be in a tank that small. people piss me off!

[clickity333]

i agree with the sailfin tang part there is no way you can keep one in a 45 gallon but a yellow tang in a 45 gallon is sometimes exceptable depending on your tank dimensions

[Ibanez3213]

how bout 36 wide 24 tall?

[clickity333]

i have a 45 gallon with those same dimensions and my yellow tang is doing ok

Hi i tink this aquarium is 2 small 4 you tangs.

[MakaveliTheDon96]

dbo, if you plan on having a reef, remove the bio-wheels after the tank is cycled, they will return nitrates into your water, live rock is your biological filtration in sw, i wouldnt remove the filter completley unles your using a sump. definitly get a good skimmer and good lights, thoes are two things you cant skimp on in this hobby, especially the skimmer. i just got a reef octopus skimmer and its amazing, good luck to you

hi, your tank looks great. I just got a 47g sw, about 2 mths now, all I have on it is a emerson 400 biowheel filter. Should i get a good protein skimmer and couple powerheads and ditch filter? Also what is that lighting system with the stands called you have?

[dbo360]

hey i just set up a 47 gallon, 2 mths now, all I have is a emerson 400 bio wheel filter on it, should I ditch it get a good skimmer and add a couple of powerheads? your tanks looks great
