Nice tank there. The aquascape is nice. However, I would considering giving up the hippo tang to another reefer with bigger tank capacity because blue tangs can grow big and they need lots of space for swimming. In a 3 ft tank it is just not big enough IMHO.

finally got my little noisy ap851 up and running

Look at the intensity, size and the height of the bubbles, this can only be achieve by a good quality skimmer. You have made the right investment bro. ;)

thanks for the kind comments

anyone has experience with golden angel?

planning to add 1 in but afraid it might not be able to take up the stress

cheers

Golden i've tried three times, first two times failed, fish not eating and hiding and died in one two weeks. Third one, a very small successful specimen i manage to get from Ah Beng, v healthy and bold (because it's first angel to go into tank) and eats v well.

U're advised not to get golden angel as it needs to be the first angel to go into the tank, else it'll definitely be harassed to death by your other dwarfs.. Plus u muz be prepared to take risk on this fish and each golden cost around $55~80 depending on LFS which is not cheap to risk.

P.S. Pls consider selling off or donate your blue tang to bigger tank, it's way too big for your small tank! :)
