Nice tank

Thanks. But this tank had "grown" and "transformed" into a bit bigger one.

I bought it from a fellow reefer for $100. If not mistaken he bought it from DE Lightings for $180 last year. Model is magus curve 5. In my opion reliable for tanks having 75 gallons. Probably up to not more than 100 gallons.

Now it is running in my current setup of abt 120 gallons and found that it is not producing good skimmate.

Maybe other seniors here can help to answer a better review of the skimmer.

Yes correct. But you wont get the desired skimmate.

Hmm... Great thinking. But..... That Tang is sleeping under and in between rocks. Never saw it sleep out in the open. Anyway thanks for the tip.

still looking to catch the blue tang? if so can use breeder box with door (i got mine from gemsurf). put seaweed inside (or whatever it loves to eat). My blue tang kept swimming in when i was trying to bait my damsel. OR use mirror heard it works -p

Thanks for the tip. It does work actually! But finally the blue tang was successfully caught during decom and pass to a very close living nearby reefer. Now a newer blue in a newer tank. Much smaller though.

Anyone got a flame angel to let?

Big fish in small pond.. but the tang looks happy in there!

[Sani Boyan]

A year had passed since I am into this hobby. I would like to share 2 short videos of me feeding my livestock in my current 2mths old FOWLR 4'x2'x18". Definitely someone would say, "your tank too small.....". Yes I do agree it is small. It stresses the fishes. It is a torture and all that. For all its worth, they seems happy and healthy. Water parameters are doing well. Reason I switched to FOWLR is because I love to interact with various kinds of fish.

[Evolutionz]

Sounds like me when u said that Bro! But don't worry your 4x2x1.8 is a lot bigger than most people who keeps more fishes den you. Can see your blue tang still got plenty of spaces.

Sorry for the late reply. When the video is taken, the fox is just a few days old in my tank. Surprisingly so tame that quick. Lucky I guess?

Thank you. Did not really train them. Maybe they are just plain hungry....
