Grizz, your tanks are horribly overstocked. I am happy to hear you have a bigger tank planned for them. You may have to re-home a couple fish, but you should be able to put most of them happily into the bigger tank.

Have no problem's with them now. Just tested water qual. in both 65 gal. : Ph. 7.6, Nitrate 0, Calcium 400-420, Kh 160 & temp 78-82. Only running a Rena XP2 and a Seaclone 100. The new tank will be a 155 BF with double overflows to a 30 gal sump with a Tunze 9010 and possibley a Aqua Medic T1000, a little giant return (1100 gph) to 4 - 22" vertical sprayer bars, 2 - 9w Turbo Twist UV's. Lighting is 3 - 250w MH mogal bases/icecap ballast & 6-8 36" 54w T5's, 1 - 96w PC. So it should be a sweet set-up when all done.

If you are going to go with an Aqua medic I would go with a T5000 shorty there was one for sale on here not long ago. Check out a couple of other forums you will find one even ebay though you have to ask if they will ship to Canada. I have not had any troubles getting stuff shipped up here yet. Aqua Medic is makeing a couple new models 1000 blue and 3000 blue both seem to have had inprovments in design.

The Aqua medic is just temp as the Tunze 9010 is good for 265 gal I believe. Going to use the T1000 for the sump set-up I am planning for my 65 Hex. E-bay is one of my best friends & my wife's enemy. Have no trouble getting thing's shipped as I am a business & have a customs broker. Get stuff for Hong Kong as well.

Hey, How is the Tunze 9010 running for you. Haven't heard from you since you picked it up.

Hope it is doing a good job for you.

I think you will be fine as long as you get rid of the picasso trigger, vallentini Puffer, snowflake eel, green sea serpent star, lion fish and hawkfish.

Replace them with the tangs but do not get any butterfly or angelfish as they will damage or kill your coral

You are grossly overstocked presently and as you are aware the tangs are not suitable for your present 65 gallon.
You will need to be patient and control your fish buying (I know it is tough). A wipe out in your new tank will be very costly.

Your new system is first class. Good Luck

Keeping these fish in a different tank other than the itty bitty spotted hawkfish as he's already in my community tank, he is a big (little) whussy. Going to get 1 maybe 2 different tang's but not for at least a couple of month's after tank is up. I have seen angel's & butterflies in reef tanks that have WAY MORE coral than I do & doing fine. They all say getting them small help's. SALTWATER = CRAPSHOOT. lol
