[Jayinked]

here are some pics of my tank just moved so i am still setting up tank again. So far every one made the move still have to put fish in new water. Here are some older pics hope you like. I still need to get a sump setup for the protein skimmer it makes tank look bad with it hanging on the side.

JUST took some new pics. Some new rock from CaribSea. Almost have the sump finshed, just waiting on overflow to arrive. Here is latest addition to the tank. Trigger fish has been fun to watch when it is feeding time, He is not scared to go after the same fish the lionfish is going after. Also a new pic of the EEL.

Looking better and better. Pretty impressive.

Yeah Still adding more Lr little by little. All the fish are still geting along and getting bigger. I bought another Tang but my sailfin tang did'nt like the powder tang so I had to return him. Do you have to keep Tangs in more than pairs or just one?

Excellent!
That eel and lion... very nice!

I have three different tangs in my 125 gallon tank. But they can be just one with no problem.

You will have the most success with tangs if you get ones that have different body shapes and colors. A sailfin and power blue was a good combo but some times you just get an aggressive tang that is less tolerant to others. Depends a lot from fish to fish. You can expect some scuffles no matter which tangs when you first add them in there though. There is kinda a fine line between the fish establishing dominance or the fishy pecking order and aggression that will lead to the death of a new fish. You can try putting up a tank devider and a tang on each side for a couple weeks so they get used to each other and take out their aggression with out damage to either fish. Many times eventually they will settle down as long as there is enough room for both of them and everyone has a fat belly : ) Nothing is a garuntee though.

Next one/tang should be larger.

Thanks for info on the Tangs. I just added a new puffer Fish to the tank this week. Was going to try and get another tang but they only had a small yellow tang, I thought my sailfin would'nt like him so I went with a med size Stars and strip Puffer. So far he has ate a few ghost shrimp and is getting along with all the other fish. The Sailfin tang at first tryed to show off and hit the puffer with his spiked tail but the puffer was quick to deffend himself.
