[SeanoHermano]

[DaytonaRoadster]

@SeanoHermano thanks bra!

[XxMasterReefxX]

[ZZMann33]

Cool video. We have simular things in our tanks. I like your set up. Whats that green coral bottom center. Also I think I saw a blue fan coral?

[DaytonaRoadster]

@ZZMann33

green star polyps

[doRYEmon]

great tank! how often do you clean your fluval canister and what media do you have running inside it?

[DaytonaRoadster]

@doRYEmon once every 6 months, maybe :)

Its a real pain to get to and i may remove it soon

[theaquareef]

is that a vortech mp40?

[DaytonaRoadster]

yes it is

[frogger171]

frickn big damsels!

[DaytonaRoadster]

thanks, i have seen bigger though

[ReefJay]

Why people says Tangs in 55 no he looks happy and no Itch i simply don't get it why?

[DaytonaRoadster]

i'd say 55 is minimum, but ya, hes happy in there, getting rather fat too :)

[hotdoghee123]

when are you going to do another update??

[DaytonaRoadster]

hmm i dont know, i havent really changed much since the HD vid, i've lost almost all my SPS due to bad RI/DO water and a few softies, but now i have a ton of self made frags, i guess if i can get some time, i can make a new one

[hotdoghee123]

dude i dont care what any one else thinks i love your tank. that domino damsel is HUGE!!!!!!!

[DaytonaRoadster]

thanks, i've lost a few things in the tank since this vid was taken, and gotten some others, but i still have all my fish

[BabyJerryProductions]

this deserves four stars,but very smart how you put these videos on youtube,very different!

[MaNChaNN3l]

is it hard tankin care of uh reef tank?

[DaytonaRoadster]

its not hard, maybe 2-3 hours worth of manitance a week, there are some things beyond your control, but really you just need to turn the lights on/off, feed, make sure you skimmers working, and once a week do a water change. None of it is really hard, just takes a lot of time and reading

[Mrsiepel]

Send me some frags before its too cold out to ship em

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

[DaytonaRoadster]

fuck, my flowerpot coral is dead, almost all my SPS has died, my blue gorgorina barely opens anymoar, i havent changed anything, but i'm not doing anymore SPS coral, i just cant seem to keep the stuff

[TheZambeziBite]

Hey what kind of tangs would you put in a 55? just wondering

[DaytonaRoadster]

something that doesnt get to big, Yellow, brown, purple, convict, small regal (it really needs a 75, but can live in a 55), things not to put in are a Naso, Powder Blue, sailfin, check on liveaquaria . com

[Jessekin32]

I've had a sailfin in mine for about a good 3 years now :( hes about 6 inches from mouth to tail fin ;3

[TimmyHaag]

Looks like you put a lot of time and care into that and it looks great.

Soon I will have the space to set up something of my own. I am thinking Sea Horses but I heard they are mad tough to take care of. If not Sea Horses I at least will go with a Mandarin fish based set up.

[jhawkor]

Very nice. I'm getting ready to start a 55 gallon reef myself. So is it OK to have a hippo tang in a 55 gallon?

[DaytonaRoadster]

yeah, mine is very happy, she eats like a pig. As long at its at LEAST 4 foot wide you can keep one. Get a medium sized one and make sure you have a well established tank

[Mrsiepel]

Im diggin the new rock work a lot better. So much better than the way it looked when I visited. Looks like a real ocean now. Holy fucking lights, fudgeman!

That Xenia is lookin pretty good too. When's the mac-fag gonna upload one of his?

[DaytonaRoadster]

thanks jew, i dunno when we will do one of chris's, his is gonna take a while due to budget and fail

MH lights for the win
