This may be my new fave tank! Love your fish selection. Do you have any tips on keeping the banded angel?

Obviously, my personal opinion, but I think the key is at least 2 feedings per day. I don't do dry foods, I do Mysis/blood worms on one feeding and LRS on another. Sometimes I'll do Rods and LRS.

He ate in the beginning. I would never buy an expensive fish if they weren't eating. I would risk a cheap $100 fish though lol

I feel you. Did you purchase him from a LFS or from a particular company?

The pictures are among the most beautiful I've seen of a reef tank. Amazing. I'd love to see a full tank shot when you get the chance.

But, I must ask you... if you don't mind sharing, how much has this system cost? Of course, you don't have to tell us :)

I actually don't mind sharing, because no one knows who I am lol. Equipment, tank and stand I'm about 20k. I've probably spent another 20K on livestock. I do get bored and get rid of fish and rip corals out and replace with different ones all the time.

Some of us know who he is and his statement above is 100% accurate. :) He might even be a nice guy on top of all of that. lol Don't tell him I told you all though! :P

AJ we need updated pics and status on here. You have been silent since July! Get to talking! :)

 

[AJsTank]

A few shots. The SPS has been blowing up. I've been pulling a lot of coral and fish and swapping them around just cause I get really bored. Some of these shots are with my phone.
