SW... Done with FW...

wait just a min 180 is acceptable but not 200? they're so close to being the same in terms of size... I do understand though, my wife is already unimpressed with the size of the qt tank we have running... so when the display is here and we have them both going for a while I'm sure something will be said. But good luck gettign the one you want/need! (feed the habit)

I catch crap for my 90 now... Lol... Not going to risk losing the 125 I got the ok on... Lmao.

 

[kurtyboh]

good call sir, it would be wise not to push it!

 

[Kio707]

Well, good news!!! I get to keep the 90g, even after I get my bigger tank!!! I think my bigger tank will be FOWLR and have trigger, harlequin tusk, lion fish, and other fish... Going to be a 150g I think. Any ideas or suggestions???

 

[coffeetwitch]

Lol... Ur sweetie pie would kill u...

 

[coffeetwitch]

hahaha yep. and yours you.


as it stands now we are getting rid of the 75 with out getting a bigger tank.

idk man. you could do a lot of cool things with your new tank. happy b-day btw. the tusk and lion would be cool. a sailfin and some butterflies. maybe a sweetlips. me personally im not a big fan of triggers. i would say if you do triggers, thats going to limit you stocking options wouldnt it?

 

[Kio707]

Maybe... Not sure. B'day isn't till dec, so I got a lot research to do till then...

 

[Kio707]

Was thinking about getting a phosban reactor... Any pros or cons?

If you have phosphates or an algae issue then I think that its a good deal. If not then it's kind of a waste of money in my opinion.

I got the slime algae going on, but I did cut back on feedings and lighting... Thought this might help out a bit...

Turbo Snails can help a lot too, I have five and they plowed through my cyanobacteria!

 

[Kio707]

Thanks... I'll see about getting some...

Bristle worm ,good at cleanup,just don't touch it.

 

[coffeetwitch]

I did some changing around in my tanks and slaughtered a ton of them. Should I regret that?

I'm sure you still have some left.They will multiply depending on food availability.It is one of those things if you have to many,you are probably overfeeding,but a few are great as part of cuc.

Thanks for the advice... Also, got new additions. 3 zebra turbos & sand shifting star... I'm into stars lately.. Oh, also the worst happened, the misbar killed the b&w... ... Shoulda seen it coming, but didn't. But now the misbar is starting to host the RBTA... Guess there is a silver lining...
