Just added 200 LBS of LR Got another Majestic Angelfish and a Sailfin Tang along with my Niger trigger and of course Dory LOL. Tank is a 180 GAL with 200 LBS of sand 250 LBS of LR. I still might work on the placement of the rock but the fish love it allot of places to hide and swim in and out of. 18837
18838
18839
I don't know why but I have little particles of I guess sand floating around and I had it before the LR was added it makes the water a little cloudy.

your tank and fish are really wonderful. I hope to have a tank like yours someday. its inspirational really.
I see what you are saying about the rocks. The rocks piles are very evenly across. I think if you built some valleys and peaks it would visually look better plus your fish could swim in and out of the valleys.
Just throwing my 2 cents in..... It looks stunning though. I love it.

Thanks for all your comments the fish love the new rock, I don't know if any of you remember but this is my second angelfish I think my yellow tang killed the first one that's why he is still in my 55 gal. I just need to get my porcupine puffer and I'll be set.

I would like to get a banner fish or the Addi's is a great looking fish, but from what every body has told me I should not add to many fish cause the fish I have get big, I'll just have to wait and see.

are you the one that has a sailfin and a yellow tang together? I'm thinking about adding the yellow tang that I already have in my 55 to the mix

it may just be my over stocking nature but i think you could do 2-3 of the flies in that tank, but before you do anything, it's usually best to just wait and see how you fish grow.
besides i don'tmean to force the idea on you i just think that they'd be kickin' in that tank. :D

Yes you are right those addis butterflies are great looking and my tank does look a little barren. Will just have to wait and see

Nope i THINK thats subliminal (sp) I have the Vlamingi, Naso and Regal. I think yellows are hit or miss really. I would LOVE to get one but I am too chicken to see if it will bully my other tangs and stress them out. I guess you could always try it and see but it things get to out of hand at least you have another tank to put them in.

I keeping an eye on the ammonia and nitrates and I will change the water as often as it needs to keep these down, so far no spikes.

I love my yellow tang and I'm going to put him in the 180 gal tank, if things get out of hand I'll just put him back in the 55
Love it. I'm all for putting the Yellow Tang back in...last!

I have a yellow tang and a Salifin together and they are best buddies.The yellow tang will rub the salifin with his nose.I thought he was nipping at first but when I watched he was rubbing him...My salifin went in the tank one day and the yellow the next day..
Your tank looks great I am still in the process with mine just added some coral but I am having so much fun with it.
