Tank Tales: PBT & Blue Ring Angel from DA

Postby mikefirefox » Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:00 am

3rd day of the PBT in my tank which includes an 8" Sohal, 8" Orange Shoulder, 7" Lipstick, 3.5" Mustard, 3.5" Convict, 2.5" Blue Tang, 2" HYT . . . he managed to defend himself against the bombardment with just a few nipped fins. Now he's roaming the tank with confidence.

The Sohal is most vicious to every new comer as I am even afraid to dip my hands into the tank when he is hungry . . . he has small teeth that nips at the skin/fingers. Even if you try to flick his head off under water and shoo him away numerous times, the moment you're not looking . . . ouch! :)

The orange shoulder and Lipstick are just about the nicest / peaceful fish anyone can have . . . they simply go about their business and just don't care.

The Blue Ring hid the first day from attackers: 5" Emperor, 4.5" Blueface, 4" Flagfin and some of the tangs too. Now he goes around tank like he's been there as long as the others, easily dodging short bursts of chasing tankmates . . . thanks to his "torque" difference compared to other angels, he is almost scratchless.

Will post pics as soon as my kid teaches me how to upload them.

Btw, I have an 8ft 400gal tank with a 100gal sump with the ff:
Resun MD-70 Magnetic Pump Ext as return pump
6 x 1" Flow Accelerators releasing MD-70 pump output around top of tank
Bio Media: 10 liters Eheim Substrat Pro, 12 Liters Seachem Matrix & 12 Liters Seachem De-Nitrate
Reef Octopus OCTX-250 Ext Skimmer powered by Eheim 1260 pump
Hailea Chiller 1HP powered by Eheim 1264 pump
1 x Vortech MP40W providing all the current
2 x Solarmax Aluminum Lighting fixture
each with 8 x 39W T3 bulbs (total of 16 bulbs)
2 x Eheim 3582 Twin Fish Feeder (serving Omega One, Spectrum,
Ocean Nutrition pellets & Nutrafin Spirulina Fakes)
Pinpoint PH Monitor, Pinpoint Nitrate Monitor, Pinpoint Wireless Thermometer, Refractometer
Lots of caves and caverns using Artificial Live Rock & Coral
Regimen is bi-monthly 120gal water change via display tank drain valve & adjacent 130gal plumbed water reservoir tank using Resun 3100 pump for salt mixing & Resun 32HF for pumping to display.
Plumbing done using 1"(id) schedule 80 and 1"(id) Eheim flexible green transparent hose.
I use Red Sea Salt or Coralife Salt bi-monthly and weekly skimmer cleaning.
