Tank size/how many fish?

Heyyou · 11-19-2007, 03:30 PM

How big is your tank? list of fish? how often do you do water change?

InLimbo87 · 11-19-2007, 03:33 PM

I have a 12g with three fish. True Perc, Tailspot Blenny, and Neon Goby. I do about 10% waterchanges once weekly and feed lightly, and have no issues with nitrates, etc.

I have a 100 gallon. i have a Bluespot Jawfish, Blue tang, exquisite wrasse, two pajamma cardinals, three true percs, male lyretail anthias, and a mandarin dragonet. Sounds like a lot I know. But my tank looks great, and my SPS corals are thriving. I do once a month waterchanges...Sometimes. My nitrates as of yesterday are .2.

Oh boy. A no no list!
I have a 120 with 4 tangs, two clowns, one yellow tailed damsel, (was food for an angler and survived

) two sunburst anthias, two firefish, one citron goby and one yellow coris wrasse! 13 total working on bringing it down to 11. Last month it was a total of 19.
I do bi monthly water changes. or when the nitrates go above 5.

kathywithbirds · 11-19-2007, 05:43 PM

75 gallon, 10 gal fuge.

Fish:
Moe - BW saddleback clown
Flippy - 6 line wrasse
Scopas tang, baby
OC - orange skunk clown
Spot - domino damsel
Buddy - garden eel

I am debating removing Spot, we'll see. Depends on if he behaves himself. All fish are about 2 inches, MAYBE 2 1/2.

Water changes are every week to two weeks (usually 10 days) 10 gallons (was going for 10 percent, that's just a round number.)

Probably not too much for a 100gl. Light compared to many overstocked tanks I have seen.
