And Oh Yes, im now... Hello :)

On the 5th of August I filled my first salty tank with water, 1 month and a bit later I filled my second saltwater tank.
And Oh Yes, im now thinking about a 3rd saltwater tank!!!

My smallest tank is 15G and I have a false gramma in there.
Next is my 34G, I have 3 green chromis' and 1 yellow coris wrasse.

The 3rd tank will be 45G and the reason I have decided this is because I would like to keep slightly larger marine fish, the biggest fish I would put in a 34G would probably be a dwarf angel, so I was just wondering what kinds of fish would I be able to keep if I do start my 45G, would any tangs be an option?
Any other fish would be greatly appreciated :). ]]> Saltwater Fish and Invertebrates platy ben http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/saltwater-fish-invertebrates/58104-new-saltwater-addiction.html http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/saltwater-fish-invertebrates/57628-egg-crate-thicker-cheap.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:13:11 GMT I have found a place to get egg crate at a reasonable price.

I have a 40 gallon tank (20 gallon sump) that has a Kole Tang (juvenile), 3 Black and White occelaris clowns (not adult quite yet/ 1.5 inches), and a Royal Gramma. Territorial wise the clowns stay together, they do roam but they stay in generally the same 10 inches of the tank, the royal gramma has his little hole and really isnt all that territorial about it and the tang moves around a lot but does have his cave that he hangs out in. My question is could i get away with one more fish? I would love to get a coral beauty angel fish or pygmy angelfish (pretty small) but i do have lots of coral so that may not be the best idea. What options do i have for fish now? I was thinking if there is really very little space left then i might get an engineer goby or two or maybe another nano goby of some sort? ]]> Saltwater Fish and Invertebrates smileyfish http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/saltwater-fish-invertebrates/57494-fish-limit.html http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/saltwater-fish-invertebrates/56981-good-way-feed-your-sun-coral-tubastrea-aurea.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:04:03 GMT I have found feeding my Sun Coral a little frustrating at times.Not because I have to feed them but because of the method used.I have been using a... I have found feeding my Sun Coral a little frustrating at times.Not because I
have to feed them but because of the method used.I have been using a Sea Squirt
with varied results.You first must find a way to keep your fish and inverts
away,they will steal the food from the coral possibly damaging it.I cut the top
off a plastic soda bottle and put it over the coral.I then feed through the
neck with the Sea Squirt.This works but adds to the frustration.brine shrimp
sized food and smaller works well with the Sea Squirt.But try mysis,squid,clams
and other larger food items and you will discover this doesn't work well.You
can try the probe on the end of the Sea Squirt but the food is to small or falls
off.Earlier I had thought about removing the coral from the tank to feed it,but
dismissed the idea because I feed them a little then wait for them to diguest
their food and feed them some more.I was worried about the temperature of the
water dropping and then putting them back in the tank shocking them.Then all of
a sudden it came to me.A Fish Bagger box the kind the LFS uses to bag your fish.
They hang on the outside of a tank but they will also hang on the INSIDE!Dip
the box in your tank and use tongs to safely grab and put your coral in the box.
I do this without exposing it to air,as not to shock it if the air conditioning
is on.I'm lucky and have my tank on a tank desk (old heavy duty metal desk) I
put the box on a towel in front of me and feed the polyps with a pair of 10"
aquatic forceps.Once they are fed the first time I hang the Fish Bagger Box on
the INSIDE of my tank keeping the temperature stable.Then later I feed them
again and hang them on the inside again for a while to make sure the temperature
is ok.Then I put them back in the tank in the reverse order without exposing
them to air.This method works very well for me because the coral is right in
front of me.Using the forceps I can easily feed all the polyps including the
ones that are smaller and hard to reach.The Fish Bagger Box is 7"Lx3.5"Wx5.75"H.
If your coral is bigger than these dimensions,I'm sure they make bigger ones.
Both the Fish Bagger Box and Forceps in different sizes should be available
online at most major Aquarium Suppliers.In conclusion,you can feed your coral
much more easily with greater accuracy.Use the forceps with larger food items
and the Sea Squirt with the smaller food items.This method can be used for other
corals besides non photosynthetic corals.The only limitation is the size of the
coral and or the fish bagger box.You can use your imagination to add to this
method as I have only fed once this way.All I know is it is a major improvement
and I'm very happy with the results it's to easy.I hope this can be of help to
you,if anyone has any comments,ideas or suggestions I welcome them.I apologize for any spaces I composed this using a text file and copy pasted it. ]]> Saltwater Fish and Invertebrates Steve McKay http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/saltwater-fish-invertebrates/56981-good-way-feed-your-sun-coral-tubastrea-aurea.html http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/saltwater-fish-invertebrates/56593-saltwater-sharks.html Thu, 22 Oct 2009 23:06:28 GMT What are some possible saltwater shark species that can be kept in a large custom home aquarium (10000-20000 gallons).
