Dude, that tank is SWEEEEEEEET... I love the fact that it has no plastic caps or trims or anything, just nice clean glass. Mint.

I have a problem when it comes to dosing Coral snow, It never seems to hurt anything when I OD the tank but I over use it when I dose. Thanks Mili, can't wait to see new stuff in it!

That's pretty funny.

It would be nice if Zeo put an ingredient list on there bottles, always scared to put the stuff in the tank. KORALLEN-ZUHT. DE is just so assuring

"Thanks for the suggestion, I was interested in a Powder brown so I will do a little more research on them. In which order should I be adding them?

Spend a few months deciding which tangs you really like the most and that have a high likelihood of survival, wait a few months a choose very healthy tangs. Alert, plump, clear eyes, no spots or tears and than add them all at once to your tank with the lights off a keep the lights off for a day or two day Also avoid approaching your tank during that time to avoid stressing the fish.

Good Luck

PS make sure it is A.japonica The powder brown with the orange on it as they are often mislabeled and the golden rim tank is virtually impossible to keep

Thanks, I was told that you should add your tangs at the same time to reduce aggression so I guess that is incorrect?

I have run into a problem, I was just told that it will take appx. 2 weeks for the silicone to dry before I should leak test it. Before this I thought it was 24-48 hours, anyone have some insight here? Tank was build Thursday morning and I want to set it up on this Wednesday so appx. 160 hours of drying time.

I think Colby is playing it safe with your tank.. When mine was done he said 48 hours was fine. I would have filled it within 48 hours too if I wasn't out of town. Ended up filling it on day 7 after receiving it i think.

Only problem I have right now is that my current 65g stand is buckling, its made of particle board and after 6 years of floods and spills the cracks are scaring the crap out of me. Colby has been great considering the conditions and the tank was made really fast but it would be peace of heart for me to do the swap ASAP.

Here, what do you think?

Levi I did post that you should add them at the same time. Just wait a few months for you tank to settle out. Your tank is big enough to add them all at once.

Oook, sorry didn't read that properly. Yes I will be waiting a little while before I add anything new, with all the stuff coming from my 2 existing tanks the 170 will already be packed.
