  4. hey H, some angels may nip more than others, its all about individual personality. I dont know how many of all the items you can add. unless you have quarantine tanks on-hand it may come down to whats available to you at that time.

  5. ps i heard dwarf angels were not reef safe? Is that true or false? And i understand you saying to add clownfish, dwarf angels, gobies and blennies but how many of each than tangs last. But how many of each that you named including the tangs?

  7. hey H, consider some clownfish, dwarf angels, gobies and blennies. make sure to add the tangs last and at the same time to avoid territorialism issues.

  8. Im really in need of help lafishguy. I have a 180g tank now and im trying to decide what type of fish and the amount i should put into the tank. I want tangs and other colorful or interesting fish to go with them. I also wanted them to be reefsafe. My question is are there any tangs i can get that will not outgrow the 180 and how many can i fit in a tank that size? I plan to add all the tangs at once.And also what other fish can i add along with them to make this tank fun and great to look at?

  13. Don't waist the water. Put the exit hose on the garden. Great nutrients for plants due to the concentration of different ions plants love.

  20. Jim-

    With all that water being wasted from RO system, you might want to collect it and water your lawn( for green lawn).

    That makes make scene to me has a home owner.

  21. Hey Jim, Where I live (Dayton, OH) I give the water company an estimate on how much water I use on aquariums. They assume all water is going down the drain and you're mainly being charged for sanitation. If you pipe your RO waste line to your yard and give them an honest estimate on how much water doesn't actually go down the drain. They may adjust your bill. They do that for me.

  22. For some odd reason your new videos don't show up on my home page. GRRRR

  23. hey Jeremy, i wondered if anyone would notice the TW shirt. I used polypads years ago and I just have a hard time believing they can produce the same quality of water as an RO or DI. did that half round aquarium set-up come through yet?

    ReplyDelete
  24. heard anything on Kold Ster-il water treatment units by the polypad guys??? they seem very effective without any waste water.....I hate how much my RO/DI unit wastes.....u can always use the grey water for laundry..... Dig the Tidal Wave tee!!!!
