My first ever marine tank 5.5x2x 2.5

[girlanimated]

Hello, just sharing my marine tank. It's an office tank that my parents so I can't really control the stocking but ohwell... It's nicknamed the Tang tank because we have super a lot of Tangs! (coincidently Tang is my surname )

The tank itself is approximately half a year old.

Enjoy!

wow very nice!

LR looks fully encrusted with coraline

Thank you!!! Actually, some of it it is green algae. Only 40-50% is corraline and the rest is the bare rock. I think i need some anti-phosphate.

Looks good! That's quite a stocklist though, so you got to take note of the bio load. Do get your dad involved and interested in researching these fishes, so that he will understand their needs and do his best to meet them.

[Milch_Tan]

wow, looking good, and that stock list is pretty extensive

so there's a fish tank guy who comes weekly or bi-weekly to help u guys manage the office tank?

nice tank scaping... When is the pictures taken?

As for Algae Blenny losing weight question on the other post.. Probably try get some empty coco worm shell for him to shelter.. they will feel safer with this..

Cheers and Happy Reefing...

[allantang]

wow.. nice tank with alot of tangs.. btw do u employ ppl with surname tang? haha:yahoo:

[girlanimated]

wow, looking good, and that stock list is pretty extensive

so there's a fish tank guy who comes weekly or bi-weekly to help u guys manage the office tank?

Yep, but during the week I do my own maintenance whenever there. Top up water, test parameters, dose additives, etc.

Gonna cut down on maintenance soon though, tank maturing nicely.

Nice tank!!!

Can i know who set the tank up for u?

Iwarna. IMO they did a pretty good job, just that you might want to consider switching the lighting after awhile as the ones they provide are a bit dim and tend to overheat. I changed mine to LumenAqua LED.

Also, biofiltration might be an issue if you end up stocking the tank this heavily. I added Seachem matrix and those bio-home tubes (Dymax brand) this week. Might get some rowaphos to treat the algae... But for now, I am dirt broke.

ANYWAY, a Lobo and an Elegance were added recently.. though the elegance tentacles are like.. short and fat. Not long and flowing...

[PatrickSwane]

Your bio load is really high with the number of tangs that you have in your tank. But as long as you are not keeping SPS it should be ok.

Nice TANGS & TANK !
