hey C, the cylinder tank is 66 inches deep. there are three 96 watt quad power compacts over the top of the tank.
ReplyDeleteHow do you light this tank? It must be 8 feet deep!
ReplyDeletehey T, try some mysis shrimp.
ReplyDeletehey jim, i have a bi-colour angel and I've had him for about 4 weeks and he hasn't been eating the pellets that i feed the aquarium although he has been eating little bits of algae, I'm just wondering wether i should be concerned to wether i should put a seaweed sheet in there just so that he gets a feed. thx for the shows big fan :)
ReplyDeletehey D, Fish are removed very carefully and with a net at the end of a long pole.
ReplyDeleteso if you need to get a fish out how to hell would you go about that lol
ReplyDeletehey D, 460 gallons is actually an estimate based on an empty square tank....and yes it is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis tank is 450 gallons? Is that the capacity of the undecorated tank, or the gallons AFTER the rock/coral were installed?
ReplyDeleteWhichever, it is truly a beautiful set-up!
Actually, checking a dictionary would confirm the fact the fact that "fishes" is an appropriate option for the plural of "fish".
ReplyDeletegood to hear, I have a Picasso in a predator tank, he's fine but I need to need to feed him a lot
ReplyDeletethere is no word called "fishes''
ReplyDeletelol check in dictionary .....
hey O, my experience with Clown Triggerfish is that if you do not feed them live food they will not become agressive. additionally, this tank is fed well and there is no reason for the trigger to go after the other fish. he has been in the tank for about 3 years and there have been no losses as a result of him.
ReplyDeleteWon't the clown trigger just eat them? I can't see how all of your fish can be safe some fish must be eaten. -_-
ReplyDeletesearch: custom shipwreck aquarium part 1
ReplyDeleteI mentioned Tangs because you said customer was thinking about it. Even without any it's a nice tank. Check out the aquarium at the Radisson Blu hotel in Berlin, it's massive.
ReplyDeletehey R, its quite possible the Heni may not appreciate the new fish. it could take a few days to adjust, but re-arranging the decorations may help a bit.
ReplyDeletehey T, this tank has no Tangs in it at all. they were planned as the last group to go in but once we put in the Angels the customer decided not to add any more fish. he was happy with what he had and did not want to tempt fate or add any more fish.
ReplyDeletehey P, I would not expect too much of an issue with copper in a FO as long as you dont have any invertebrates, but copper will not solve your fluke issue. you need to use Praziquantel, and its available as Prazi-Pro from the Koi industry.
ReplyDeletehey Jim quick question On my tank i have a heniochus butterfly i want to add a Longnose butterfly fish is that possible or not cause is the same species ? what trick i can do to introduce him if possible and avoid agression I have a 75 gallon tank
ReplyDeleteTangs are nice especially the blue ones. That is a lovely aquarium.
ReplyDeleteHey Jim, sorry to disturb but i have a serius issue..MY DT tank has a fluke infestation from a fish that wasnt QT'ed propelly..its a FO system with deadrock..so can copper kil the flukes off? and one of the tang also has black ich =(
ReplyDeleteaclimating is pronounced the same in english you moron.....some people lol.
ReplyDeletehey R, considering you just insulted all Americans I think it is time to say so-long before you create anymore problems for yourself. good bye.
