@beeguiles

Thanks for the post...

About the tangs, I knew about it, but I did try anyway. I had them for about a year and half and after that they grew a lot. Sadly I sold the blue and yellow tang. I'm keeping the purple tang because still small in my tank, but as soon it overgrow I will sell him. Thats the bad thing about small tanks...

@jpbk1922

Thanks a lot, and for you, the best way to keep a nice tank is just patience... Anyone can do it ;))

Good luck !!!

[beeguiles]

Your tank looks great but it is kinda small for any tangs. They need a lot of swimming space and the blue hippo can get very large. Just a little heads up. Other than that your tank looks great

[jpbk1922]

Hopefully I can get mines to look nice as yours

[jpbk1922]

Nice tank very clean nice set-up

[efhunter4419]

Very nice video. I miss my tanks, Hopefully as soon as I get back from Afghanistan I will start one again!

@TheRoygomez

Thanks for the post :))

About the canopy, I thought about it, but in my case I want to have my family room neutral (nothing ordinary). Remember is a corner tank and having a light fixture and canopy at the same time wont work unless the canopy is big. BTW, the lights doesnt bother when u r on the couch ;)

@rarityd

Thanks a lot!!!

@Anthony83511

I had two big colonies at that time. Each of them were growing in a small LR. I had them for a year and few month and I decide to sell one of them. What I like of them is that give movement to the tank eventhough doesnt have bright colors.

[TheRoygomez]

Beautiful. But I would def put a canopy on top!

[rarityd]

you got a "like" for a great vid and a "subscribed" for having LP song playing as your background music. It's proven that you have a very unique taste =) thank you

[Anthony83511]

@my89tube

To keep the water clean I use a carbon reactor... (in my opinion, the best media is the Rox 0.8 from BRS)

[my89tube]

How in the hell do you keep your water so clear?

[1chirindongo1]

@FMNikoyo

I'm happy that the video help u, thats why i post it. That way people know how nice is having a salt water tank.

Also, I made another video specifically of the lights bulb and light fixture. Hope will help u too and good luck with ur tank.

[FMNikoyo]

So I just watched this whole thing and dammit I'm glad I did.

I keep telling myself that I'll start a reef tank once I get the money, and this video captures exactly what I love about them.

[1chirindongo1]

@CandyFishRave

Thank you

[valdezorbust]

Even better with mute on.

[lastlane]

Would you say corner reefs are more difficult to create flow without dead spots?

[klxrdjmx2010]

Sweet gotta love the mandarin goby I love mine but he's always hiding out

[skullchruser]

Could i maybe get the dimensions of your tank its the perfect size ive been looking for and it looks amazing :)

[CandyFishRave]

[1chirindongo1]

@wr009... I use my Iphone4 to do everything... I download the IMovie and made the vid

@Jabman549

Thanks for the post... I will put another video of my new bulbs... So, be alert for what is coming up ;)

[jabman549]

nice looking tank.  I have the same one less the metal halides.

[1chirindongo1]

@PillBoy305

Thanks for the post...

About the mushroom, I cut the frag rock very small and use it like the base, so you can't see the rock... And about the fixture is amazing!!! I really love it and tomorrow will received some bulb that I ordered... I will make a video with the new lights...

[PillBoy305]

btw i have the same light set up. lol.

[PillBoy305]

I as well have a 55 g corner reef, marine betta, mystery wrasse, 4 line, mated onyx clowns, mated picasos, small purple tang, and ghost eel. anyways. how do you get the mushrooms directly onto the rock instead of on these horrible frag plates they come on? gorgeous tank and thanks

[1chirindongo1]

About the fixture, I have it 8" hight of the tank and the dont have any problem with the temp... But, I have my tank in my family room and a leave the cealing fan on all the time (I think that helps too)...

About the powerheads, I have a Koralia 750gph in the back right side of the tank and a Koralia 425gph in the front left side of the tank...

Hope this help you...

[1chirindongo1]

Hi Holiday6566,

I have the Marineland pro light 24" (I try to put the link, but don't let me post it)... I bought it on marine and reef. com... Also they sell the hanging kit...

[holiday6566]

mind putting up a link to the exact lights you have. Do they run really hot? They look soo awesome. I also have a 55g corner. Also which model of hydor koralia do you use?

[1chirindongo1]

My yellow tang is like 6month old... Its true about having the tang in such a small tank, but because I bought it really small I will keep it until gets a little bit bigger (maybe like 1 more year)...

[runimuk22]

how long have you had the yellow tang? i'm thinking about getting one for my 54 corner but everyone i talked to said it's still to small for that type of tang. Are you going to keep it in your tank when it's full grown?

[1chirindongo1]

I buy most of my corals in World Wide Corals in Orlando Florida

[tlac001]

Love it! Where did you get the corals?

[bartg41]

Very nice.

[1chirindongo1]

Is call yellow tang

[futuramista]

whats' the name of the yellow one?

[funkmaster100]

very nice
