How old
How long have you had your larger fish (tangs and angels)? I was wondering how much they have grown under your care.

hey reefman, a couple of them the yellow and sailfin I have had for over 6 yrs now. The majority of them I have had a little over 3 yrs. Just about all of them have grown 3 to 4 x their original size. an example is my red sea sailfin was around 4 inches when I got her three years ago, she is now around the 12 inch mark now. Hopefully I was able to answer you question.
Thanks FUA, Yes I have an addiction!!! This is why an upgrade is due in a year or so.

lol. I will see how my job goes if it turns around i may try and collect all my equipment and possibly reconsider size/design.
I think i am going to drill the wall and put the skimmer in the garage. I am going to have to look into my power consumption which has become my latest worry.

I wouldnt dare try a clam with either of my angels. My regal and emp love clam on a half shell. They would probably love the addition a clam, but would be a pricey snack.

I had an angle a few years back and than bought a clam. I learned the hard way. I wind up giving the angle to a friend. That made me realize you really need to know what your doing. If you dont want to give your fish a $50 treat.

Tank is looking really good. Love your selection of fish. Your orange shoulder is definitely something to admire. If I ever get a larger setup that is the first tang I will add to my collection.
On a side note: keep an eye on leeks coming out of the spout of the collection container. After a while scum builds up and causes the valve not to close fully. I have my collection container set up the same way and works great but the valve needs to be cleaned every so often. You definitely don't want that toxic stuff leaking out. http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...66/crap020.jpg |

I can back you up on a lot off stuff. hahhah Sad but true. I had a big star fish that my wife loved.
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z...m/DSC02932.jpg I finally made it to a ORCA frag meet and 1 night later this. These mishaps really suck. It really kills me to loose livestock to my own ignorance. QT from now on. Patience and knowledge...

how much do you feed these fish everyday? I bet it takes a lot... do you supplement the food at all with vitamins and minerals?
