You know what that means???? You are going to have to move the tank.

sgarron · Mar 7, 2008

I'm not movin nuthin! No, once the kids get a little older and I can have my family room back(it's the play room right now), I hope to set up a little larger tank

. Maybe 96x30x30. That's the plan anyway. And if I can't have my plan, she can't have tile. :

sgarron, I noticed that you moded the ASM skimmer. Did you do it yourself. I would like to do it to my ASM G3.

sgarron · Apr 3, 2008

I did mod my ASM myself before I got the Deltec. I did the recirc mod to it, added a drain to the cup and of course the gate valve. They were all pretty easy, and it worked great. I just came across a really good deal on the Deltec.

you have to update your sig now to reflect the new 250mhs...

what is that monsterous blue thing on the right...where the clown is. At first i thought it was a big clam but is it a carpet?

I think I'm gonna ditch the sig. Getting way to long.

Carpet, yes. Haddoni from AO.

yellow tang, yellow belly blue hippo tang, purple tang, powder blue tang

do you have a lot of fighting amongst your tangs?

sgarron · Apr 4, 2008

The yellow and the hippo are always together, the purple and powder blue are loners. No fighting, they all sleep in the same cave at night.

Patriot76 · Apr 4, 2008

hmm good to know, but like they say 'every fish is different'. i was hoping on having three tangs in my tank
