I have two pairs of tangs. Polyzona and hepatus. The only four adult tangs. So I am sure that tangs change sex like angels. I can't believe that is just big luck for me. This two pairs introduced as nearly same size but juvenile.

I will go on to pair up more tangs like Zebrasoma gemmatum, Acanthurus leucosternum and Acanthurus achilles. Leucosternum and Achilles I have medium sized. Will pair up with very tiny ones. My gemmatum are nearly same size but they are very aggressive against each other. Finger crossed

You can tell sex by looking at the bottom holes watch the yellow tang breeding videos on YouTube and you will see how to identify

I had a few lost because Po4 was 0 and I didn't realized that. But in this moment everything is fine. The coraltank is in the same watersysthem like my display tank. The coral tank is nearly filled up so I can clean it up an put all my corals into DT. I am so happy because the DT is nearly without coral in this moment and looks like a moon landscape. Will take a few frags from the rare coral and let them grow in fragtank. The colours are better than in this video.

The corals look very healthy. Many of those fragments are also larger than many colonies in display tanks. A promising start to your combined system. Thanks for the update!

Last Thursday I introduce more than 200 corals into my DT from my coral tank. We need 6 hours with four persons. I'm glad to finish stocking with corals.

Here is the result

Somebody can give me advice? I catched all my fish to quarantine them again. Display tank should be 80 days without fish. Just to Assessor flavissimus is in tank now and I am not able to catch them. So I bought big firefish Pterois volitans to catch the Assessor. But the Assessor is right before the mouth of the firefish and survive. What's happen? 6 firefish does not catch the Assessor

What can I do.?

Have you tried a fish trap? The other option is to get some Tricaine-s or clove oil and sedate the fish in the tank and remove that way. You have a lot of water so it's hard to say how much will need to be used to sedate the fish enough to easily catch them

Hello Dmorty
Yes I tried different size of traps but no results. I know where they are caves are and thought about use chemicals. But I am afraid about my corals. So I you can give me a advise to sedate the fish?

Not sure how easy it is to find Tricaine S in Germany? A little bit goes a long way. I would need to do more research on the effects on corals and inverts before I could seriously advise you on the use in a reef tank. Might want to ask this question in the reef chemistry section

[Dmorty217]

At any rate I asked this question in the chemistry section of this forum since that isn't my strong suit. Hopefully TMZ or Randy will answer. At any rate if it can be done you would need to preform a large water change once the fish tank as caught if you use sedation. It's not ideal but it sounds like you have tried a few different options and nothing else is working. What inverts are in the tank beside corals?

Looks good. Good luck

Hi Grüße,
I have just discovered your build thread, absolutely stunning. I would like to use your method of gluing coral rubble to pvc pipe. Could you tell me what glue you used and how you did it?
Many thanks!
Ben

[dbsandbox]

I just read your build thread , wow what a tank and filtration system you have. Ido not think it gets any better than what you have done.

Hello Ben,

Norbert Dammers, the owner of Atoll Riff Deko, do that job for me. I believe resin is the right name for that glue in English but I am not really sure.

Thank you but in this moment I know better ways that also reduces the energy coasts

Thanks so much for your reply Torben! Have a 7' x 5' x2'6" reef tank I would like to rescape. I will do a trial with plumbers (clear) pvc glue and resign.
