Well it's sure nice to get all the feedback on my new prizm skimmer! You know "my post". So all I can do is listen to the negatives about my tank size and because I house a blue regal.I do however thank the few of you who gave me some real advice on my skimmer. Like I said before: I am aware that this fish will grow out of my tank, however some of you are not reading my replies or you would know that I have given my two year old regal to my roomie who has a 60gal. As for my other regal in my reef, it is about 8 or 9 months old and still very small at about 5 cm. This fish gets a full healthy diet of spirulina and brine daily as well as a nice crispy piece of romaine every other day. The tang also gets plenty of excercise by swimming into the current of my 402 that comes on 12 times daily. And when this fish wants to rest after a few laps it will hang out in its favorite crevice or munch on nori or lettuce. AND, when this tang reaches a size that is beyond my keeping, it will then be passed onto someone with a larger reef. However until that times comes when I will be providing someone with an adult tang that's captive raised rather than wild caught, I will continue to enjoy the beauty of this fish. My tang is happy and healthy otherwise I would see some signs of stress or malnourishment, not to mention a slow growth rate!
I do like to hear other reefers opinions, but I think some people are just a little to harsh, or they jump the gun before reading all the facts. I will end this thread now as it's just not going any place other than in circles. "Reef On", sumpfinfishe [img]smile.gif[/img]
