Is there such a thing as Reef Ridlin?

He is very healthy Cheeks. The previous owner must of taken very good care of him. His colors are so bright. He is eating very well for me too.

I love the PB but I just don't have a tank big enough yet.

I love the achilles even better though and it needs an even bigger tank. I'm thinking a nice "L" shaped, 1,000 gallon one.

(i can dream, can't it?)

blue_eyes53813 · 08-14-2007, 03:58 PM

Why dream,,, just do it, lol That would be a very cool Tank Terry. I thought about that in my basement , But of course a metal floor joist would be in the middle of it, lol not good

BigAl07 · 08-14-2007, 04:04 PM

I love the PBT. Maybe one day I can grow up (get big enough TANK) to have one.

don't both of those just listed require a 100g tank?

Hijack in Progress ! ! !

Does the TOTAL water volume dictate the "size" or only the size of the display tank? I mean if you have a 125g display, 40g fuge, 40g sump you'd infact have a total of 205gs total water volume. Or would just the mere "usuable" water be what you use to calculate for this?

For tangs - you could/should only count the usable swim room. So the main tank water volume.

tbittner · 08-14-2007, 04:21 PM

Everything I've heard is that tangs need LOTS of swimming room. So a 300g tank that is less than 48" long isn't big enough. I had heard that tangs LOVE to swim to find food and if they can't do that, they get depressed and die. (i wonder if I heard that on Dr. Phil)

hma · 08-14-2007, 04:41 PM

I love this kind of tank, look’s great. Perhaps I change sometime with my 255 gal. fish tank also to a reef…. Problem ….. I love my “ aggressive” fish too….mhhh

.... excuse, must be a joke !! i have some tangs for more than 6 year's,
all are as fit as a fiddle, in the pink.

Craig Manoukian · 08-14-2007, 08:04 PM

I agree, total lateral swim space is the most critical element for tangs. The more the better!

Yes it was sort of a joke (the part about the depressed & die thing).

tbittner · 08-14-2007, 09:43 PM

Yeah, I was joking too.

nothing more to say Allen, accurately which I wanted to say thereby.

I have had several fish introduced into my tank that were severely picked on by the established fish. Later those same fish became best buds. Hope this works out for you.
