My mini reef

My mini reef …. With the new addition today.

 

[James M]

Hope you’re joking

Two Clarke clowns, a flame Angel and I hope that’s not a baby hippo in a 28gal. What can go wrong

As a Biocube 32 owner for the last 7 years please take this criticism seriously.
1. If that's a blue powder tang, get him back to your lfs.
2. You need more rock. Rocks are your bio filter and help keep things stable.
3. Flame angle is going to fight everything. Yes they are a buitfull fish but are very territorial.
4. Better housekeeping is needed!!

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

The tank looks too small for the amount of fish you have, and frankly not near enough rock in the tank. If you don't get more rock in the tank, the fish will get stressed out. I can't tell if thats a blue damsel or a tang, but I do predict an ich problem (or some other disease) in this tank soon, this won't end well.

Always wanted a Flame Angel, but deemed my tank too small.. what size tank is this? Looks smaller than even my 33G

Don’t want to ruin the mood here, but as far as I can see from your previous posts. It has only been 2 months since you picked up this 28 gallon tank. You don’t have enough time running the tank and/or rock to host the bacteria to sustain these fish in a healthy way.

Furthermore I hope this is not a blue tang, as they require a lot of space to swim and you are just slowly killing it.

If you want to set things straight I suggest you to:
-Add more rock
-Get rid of the blue tang (they need 125 gal/5ft as a MINiMUM)
- Don’t add any livestock anymore
- Let the tank mature
- Read and ask questions before you buy living animals

This hobby is not about “I want Dory and Nemo in my living room”

I'm going to chime in here.

Your tank is two months correct? I would say slow down just a little. You are adding a lot of stuff to your tank quickly. I would hold off on buying more livestock for your tank as your tank is still new and maturing.

As for the livestock in your tank. Your tank is too small for The tang and for the flame angel. Not to mention, you need a lot more rock in your tank as there is too much open space, and not enough hiding spots for your fish.

I get it, you are excited about being in the hobby and want to get the fish that "look cool", but slow down, do some research, and really know what fish are going into your tank before adding them.

With peace and love, please rehome the tang and flame angel. And please add more rocks to your tank , more rocks will reduce stress just saying. It’s exciting the thought of having these cool fish but not when they’re not happy. And based off your previous threads , I do advise reading up more on what fish you want and how to go out about setting up a saltwater tank and being patient.

Actually that tank was transferred from a year old system.

Your welcome to send me the money for a 100 gallon tank or pay my local shop for it.

 

[ravila101]

With peace and love, this doesn’t fix the fact you got a tang and a flame angel in a small tank. If you can’t afford a bigger tank to meet the fish’s requirements then that’s life. I wish to have a gem tang but I’m not going to get one and put it in a 28 gallon tank. Let’s not be selfish and hurt/stress out these innocent fish.

 

[ravila101]

Euphyllia97 was just trying to share some knowledge in a kind way along with everyone else on here.

 

[Brian60077]

I can get one and likely will very shortly when my friend gets his new waterbox he ordered. It’s a 90 gallon. I would much rather have the 150 with canopy and matching stand that my local shop has,

Deleted and edited political references in this thread. Please let's keep the talk about reef tanks. Thanks!

This is like saying "I got a dog but I work 16 hrs a day and live alone, how can I get him to stop having accidents while im not home?" "Well if you would just pay for my dog to be boarded during the day"

Being irresponsible and making bad uneducated decisions will doom you in this hobby. Best of luck.

@revhtree looks like Brian is asking for this thread to be closed.

Hey welcome to the hobby and I hope you find all the info you need. I think your store scammed you though because that is a flame angelfish and not a cricket :(

Thought it was much cuter than a cricket. Have plenty of those since we have not had much rain they are coming out of my sump pit. Caught 2 and took outside last night at 3 am

 

[Brian60077]

Also none of the fish are bigger than 3 inches as of yet.
