Lol yah. The petco up here in Fort Collins is pretty good about keeping the fish fairly healthy. The tangs there are a different story They currently have 4 purple tangs there all icked up.

.......... The tangs there are a different story They currently have 4 purple tangs there all icked up.

Let me guess - not a bare bottom tank, nor a drop of copper. I wish Petco cared more for the livestock.

On a side note - Did you decide if you were using the algae scrubber you made?

Yah the petco tanks have much to be desired. But shipment days are when I go so they don't touch the petco systems.


I was using the algae scrubber for a while but my system has caught up and I have gotten to the optimal feeding amount for my fish, so I don't need to run it any more.

I am now using the typical refugium for export.



Algae scrubbers are definitely awesome though. IMO a better option over biopellets or carbon dosing. and cheaper to get. you can normally build an algae scrubber for about $30. Most of that being a MJ1200 pump.

to displace the weight of the rock. I had a pistol shrimp that liked to collapse rock stacks.

Naa my potters angel decided to eat it and killed it and its self

 

[Skrappy]

darn, i was hoping u were having good luck keeping it, i want one but haven't heard of any long term success stories and that has kept me from grabbing one myself.

I got one a few weeks ago from Coral xpressions, 20 bucks and he's doing great. I target feed him daily with mysis and caviar as well as broadcasting coral foods at night. I too have read a lot about short life expectancy and it was kinda big leap but I took it and so far so gewt

Is a shame about yours being eaten. How long did you have him before the incident?

I had him for about 5 months.

So saw Josh's rockscape in his 150g cube and absolutely loved it. So I am thinking I might redo my rockscape to allow for more flow behind the rockstack. And make more room for sps corals.
