Personally I just dont think that Tangs are really ever that happy in our tanks. I believe that there are MANY other fish that are equally pretty, add just as much activity, and are far easier to keep HAPPY, than tangs.
So I will not own another tang until I get my HUGE tank in my Home(when I build it)

you dont consider a 240 big? lol

Puuuuhhh nice list ! Would you really want only SPS corals in your new tank, no LPS? Then you should think about BALLING.

The SPS will take away from the water daily a lot of calzium and magnesium, this must / should be measured daily automatically. Balling is suitable for it. Already once about that thought Michael?

michael_cb_125 · 12-08-2007, 02:23 PM

I am going to have some LPS and even some Zonthus and Mushrooms in this tank. This is just a list of the SPS corals that I want to add.
Im sorry, but I am not sure what Balling is. Heinz, can you explain this to me?

boozeman · 12-08-2007, 02:59 PM

you have a very ambitious list and I am really looking foward to seeing it compleated

keep yourself open to the idea that corals are like candy and somedays you will see a certain specimen and say ''man ive got to have that one''

ORA is planning on releasing quite a few new/never before seen corals soon....something to keep an eye out for.

I, personally, am a fan of the Japanese style which is characterized by more of an ''open space'' aquascape

balling = dosing

.

michael_cb_125 · 12-08-2007, 03:05 PM

I have seen many tanks that are just crammed full of corals. I personally dont care for that. I have found some tanks that I really like. They are more open, and provide more open water for fish. The list that I made is just a guideline to what I want. I know what you mean about somedays just finding something that you "must" have. I have some very neat Ideas that I think I will really like. I think that you will like what I have planned as well.

boozeman · 12-08-2007, 03:45 PM

Honestly michael, if you are happy with it then so will I

Yes of course I can Michael. Take a look on my web sides, there I have described the Balling method. To calculate the exactly required daily amount, I have programmed a calculator.

michael_cb_125 · 12-19-2007, 01:56 PM

Well I am kinda stalled at the moment. I am waiting for my new tank to get here. A few problems occurred and I am not really sure when I will get it. I hhave everything but the tank and the light, but Jack is hooking me up.
Just keep waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting.

michael_cb_125 · 12-19-2007, 02:00 PM

On one hand I am mad that I dont have my tank up yet, on the other hand it is giving me plenty of time to decide on livestock (as you can see by my posts)

Dentoid · 12-19-2007, 03:44 PM

That tank isn't there yet?! So much for speedy service! Maybe, next time you should order from someone closer to home!
