my unexpected 125g build

[Ibrahim]

lol They look exactly the same but half the size. Only if there were dwarf tangs and sharks.

I've had that thought forever lololol

 

[huma-huma]

haha dwarf sharks.. now that would be awesome!

 

[cabezon]

I would love to have a dwarf great white.

 

[huma-huma]

i just thought of something..even if they could manage a dwarf great white...itd still be several feet long lol

 

[slitherbomb]

Nonononononono, theyd genetically engineer him to be several INCHES long. Recommended minimum tank size: 125g.

 

[Ibrahim]

Then I still couldn't have one

 

[huma-huma]

yes slither!! im liking your idea

 

[huma-huma]

i know that ive been tossing out some ideas and upgrade plans like crazy, (ive been getting ahead of myself) but i spent the past 2 days looking into the Hiatt system. (including the "right-now" bacteria and carbon pellets) to help rid my tank of its mild trate problem.. i dont have a probem spending 6 bucks a bottle for the bacteria, but i need roughly 20lbs of carbon (according to the Hiatt site) and i refuse to pay upwards of 120 bucks for the carbon pellets. which leads me to my question, would replacing my dsb in my refugium with the 20lbs of carbon have ill effects on my tank.. i know i still have to do pwc's to replenish trace elements..just really want my trates to stay at 0.

 

[Ibrahim]

Maybe try adding alot more cheato in your refug and large nerites snails in your dt

 

[huma-huma]

nerite snails are a no go... i currently have 2 triggers and another one coming, along with a puffer...

 

[Ibrahim]

Same here but they barely pick at the snails which is only when they're on sand

 

[huma-huma]

im gonna give it a try, i just remembered that i have 2 blue-legged crabs that the triggers dont even bother

 

[Ibrahim]

Bump Bump...

 

[huma-huma]

Now trying to decide if our final fish is gonna be a yellow tang,blue hippo, or another trigger

 

[Ibrahim]

Get a large trigger, a queen trigger, a Koran angelfish, or a Yellow tang. The hippo tang isnt aggressive so it shouldn't be with others that may attack because of territory

 

[huma-huma]

Don't wanna do a queen trigger..although id really love to. they just get too big.. been looking at an insulated trigger or blue jaw trigger..can't decide

 

[Ibrahim]

How bout a Blueline or a clown trigger my second and third best trigger

 

[huma-huma]

Haven't seen a blue line, gonna research it now. And its funny you mention the clown trigger because before we purchased our picasso, it was down to either the clown or picasso and the clown at my lfs looked sick so we went with the picasso. The clown would work out good too because he's a bright yellow, would add some much needed color to our tank

 

[slitherbomb]

Clown triggers are really beautiful fish. I would order one online.
