Tank is looking great. How big does that Angel get?Genicanthus spp. are 100% reef safe as far as I've been able to tell. Never seen the pair that I have now nip at any coral. They occasionally pick algae from rocks, but mainly eat from the water column/nori clip. They're super active swimming around the tank, and get along with everything else in the tank. No idea why Genicanthus spp. are not more popular! My favorite saltwater fish for a reef tank tbh.
They're both adult sized. Both might get a little bit bigger. 6-7 inches max.Tank is looking great. How big does that Angel get?
Ive been out of the hobby a while and was wondering i always remember people saying not to have to may fish in a small tank how did you decide how many fish you could keep in this tank
Would you mind showing/explaining how your trident is setup on the AIO. I've got an AIO, and was planning an upgrade. The upgrade may be on hold. So now I am debating setting up the Trident and calcium reactor on my AIO.
Hi there, I spotted a kole tang in one of your pictures. I also have a kole tang that's maybe 4-5" in size I"m contemplating if it can be added to my new 50 lagoon or is it too big?
How has yours been doing? I'm downsizing from a larger tank, which is why I have the Kole in the first place.
I've had a Kole Tang in the tank since the start and it's always been happy and active. Always grazing on the rocks.
Mine was pretty shy when it was the biggest fish in the tank, but ever since I added the larger Swallowtail angels, it swims around out in the open a lot more.
The lagoon form factor let's you get away with bigger fish. You've got a larger footprint at the expenses of tank height, but tank height doesn't really give fish more swimming space/territory.
One thing to remember is that if my tank was new, I'd be way overstocked. I've added fish slowly as my tank bacteria and the bioload of coral could support (or in the case of the second angel, need!) more fish poop.
