not trying to offend you or anyone else, but in my personal opinion i think anthias like that look and swim alot like goldfish. like the 20 cent ones you use as feeders. i know up close they are very pretty but from a distance they look like feeders.
Did you us a reef (Eco aqualizer) to keep your reef tank in crystal clear waters ? beucaes there great i have one too . monthly water changes for my tank. only 10 % of water chang eliminates cloudiness & yellowing of water..stabilizes ph and increases oxygen reduces the need for water changes restores water's natural equilibrium reduces GREEN algae and RED Slime 75 gal as well .you shoud check it out> its new and best of the year results within 48 hours
thats awesome i love saltwater reef tanks...... there awesome....... they are just so cool...... you can never know what you can find in saltwater..... its amazing
i know its the amount of calcium or somthing but can u tell me how to add it or how much/how aften or if there is something that adds it automaticlly?
beautiful tank man--- can any1 message me back or tell me the name of those smaller blue fish he has like 10 and if they are safe with a 4 inch lion fish?!
they are called Blue/Green Chromis thy are e peaceful schooling damselfish. the are a reef safe peaceful community fish they wont bother your lion fish but i dont know how safe thay are gonna be around your lion fish
wow...beautiful tank! I'm looking to turn my fish only setup into a FOWLR (fish only with live rock) setup soon and maybe a full blown reef tank some day. Can you please give me some tips for corals and live rock health? Thanks! Just reply to this comment or PM me.
Beautiful work on that tank. I had a reef tank, but it is such an undertaking to keep it healthy. I switched to a marine tank with an artificial reef and have Yellow Tangs, one Pacific Tang and a Flame Angel. Much less to worry about.
Your tank looks amazing. How much did you pay for reefs, and do you buy little pieces at a time? I was thinking about setting up a 35 gallon to start. What are some of the thinks I'd need besides ph, ultralum 5000k ultraviolet uv sterilizer powerhead, do you have to buy bags of salt every few weeks after making water changes? Also what is the best test kit for testing ph, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate. salinity of water?
You don't need all that crap, just get a good protein skimmer or 2, a pound of live rock for every gallon of water, good lighting power compacts or better if you have the money metal halides. Couple powerheads and thats it. Start adding organisms slowly a few every week or so, Cheap damsels, coral frags.
Starting a reef tank is very expensive. You have your lighting, filtration, heater, live rock, sand, test kits etc. Metal Halide lighting - $1000+ Sump filtration - $300+ Heater - $50+ sand - $80+ test kits $80+ live rock - 2 lbs per gallon - $900 ($5.99 a pound average) Plus the tank and stand itself which could be around $500 PLUS the life in it which could be thousands. Its a big commitment.
Ryan, if you paid $1000 for lighting, someone ripped you off. I paid a little over $300 for lighting for my 75 gallon and yes it's a very good lighting system. Also, a heater isn't necessary. I've never used one. All in all it can get rather pricy if you have a sizable tank.
Heaters are a good Idea if you live in a climate where the winters get cold. My tank rises to just over 30deg.C at times in summer, and would drop well below 20 during winter without a heater. You must be close to equater I guess.
Yeah um, $1000 for lighting; you got ripped off pretty bad if that's what you paid. You can buy a good enough lighting system for about half the price, if not then less. You dont need 2lbs LR for every gallon. It's more like 1.2lbs/gallon. To save money you can just make your own stand. Your welcome.
tank looks perfectly stocked to me....... 2 tangs in a 75 might be pushing it a bit, but as long as its a long 75 and the filtration is there you should be fine.
it is a 75g tank with a 50g sump with an H&S A150-F2001 skimmer and i never had a problem with nitrates. there are 2 tangs, a trigger and a few small fish that I don't believe dont add as much to the bioload as bigger fish. my tank also has a refugium which helps with nutrient export
yo i checked out sargassums the only ones i could find are like 100 150 bucks id much rather go with the blue throats (at like 50 bucks) or a pink tail (very varied prices) but thanks for ur info anyway
looks like a 90 to 100 gal.the um current maker is just to big it looks like its flowing at a 120gallon an hour rate.usualy to simulate the current you want 1 third you tank for the rate.also if you want to have the fish looking natural all the time they have a clear film that yo can see them and they can't see you.works wonderful onmine.
Perfect! I was seriously looking into the 14k Hamiltons but didnt know if they look good or not. Now I do! Are they SE or DE? Any actinics? How about reflector?

wow.. How long has your tank been up?, What lighting requirement to inverts happy? I am so new marine tank, I have 90g just recently converted from fresh. Did you put all inverts in at same time? Anyways, nice set up! Thanks.
nice anthias, my blue tang killed my new anthias, Do they eat flake foods?. You know, your tank has to be bigger than 75 gal, I have a 72g and it looks much smaller than yours.
lol, it does look bigger since i don't have much lr in the display tank, i have it in the sump so there is more swimming space tank measurements are 48lx18wx22h if i remember correctly, my anthias only eat frozen mysis, i have been trying to switch them over to NLS or flake but no success yet
it's a 75g tank, i have 2 triggers a male bluethroat and a male sargassum trigger, both are reef safe, they've never even bothered any of my inverts or my shrimps
Sooo- another question- were they the last animals added to the tank or did you just add them along the way as you added your other fish because my primary concern is the predatory nature of triggers in general?
i added most of my fish after i had my triggers, i haven't noticed any aggression whatsoever with them. The sailfin/anthias/flame hawk and one of my cleaners were all added after

1000 for metal halide?
thats reasonable for me. Where do you live?,that might be the reason in price difference.
Using a heater is necessary if your house is below 80 and your halides cannot heat it.

I live in Louisiana. My house stays between 69-75 degrees.
