Is that a black tang I see there?

I love how you've stocked your tank, lots of unusual, not often seen fish!

Hey Ron Sweet set up keep up the good work Marc is an amazing craftsman best I have ever seen hope to see you at the madness sale on Saturday

Question?
 

RJ
you said that you were keeping a regal angel on hold at HR until it eats. Do you quarintine your fish after that or do you just place it in the display tank? I'm not trying to start a problem nor critisism just trying to learn as I'm setting up a 120 gal tank with a 80 gal sump. the learning curve is steep but I'm still hanging on.

Cheers!
Geoff

Do you know what they were?

reply--Geoff
 

The first and formost I make sure they eat and what.they're eating...
I like to feed them a variety food mixed in vita-chem / kent garlic
I do not use a quarintine tank...acclimate for one hour,been doing this for quite a number of years...no looses to date

RJ

Sorry Catherine I don't...one still there...sale on Sat. midnight madness 6pm--12pm

He's about 4 / 5 in's

The colors just pop, you seem to have an amazing selection of livestock at your disposal. I just love all our livestock!

Thanks for the kind words Catherine...it does make one proud that something is going right.

RJ

Tanks like this make me feel like going to a bigger tank.

Hey Ron, your tank looks great. I see some of what you put in there but it looks great all put together :) Marc does a great job but you put all the long term effort in. See ya later.. georgia

Refugium Addition

Two new additions: Seahorses [ Orange ] Main Tank Koraua #3
Waiting for another pump, Koraua #3, to be placed low on right side and angle it towards the back wall...as I have a number of caves that I can't get at to clean, this way with any luck hope to push the crap out to where I can get at it...not worried about the sand, if I ever do it again no sand in any of the caves

Wow, the detail on the face and body of the purple tang is just amazing!

Hi Ron spectacular tank just amazing collection of animals.
Quick question the Regal is it reef safe in your tank, they say they are safe but with angles you never know this is a beautiful fish and I would love to add this fish to my wish list for my 120 that is in progress. Also thanks for this tread it has given me a lot of insight into how I want mine to be.
Tom.

Thanks Tom...like you said you take a chance with angels...have had no problem with any of mine...Started of feeding ocean plankton at Hidden Reef for a week before bringing home [ made sure he was eating ] he now eats just about anything even the odd pellet.

Custom made cabinet..canopy..small side cabinet[ houses reactor and red sea aquazone 100 ]built be Ed can't remember last name...does work for hidden reef
The man responsible for all the setup be Marc [ SuperFudge ] a craftsmen bar none...
His work neat and clean along with his knowledge in this hobby
