My current fish load since the crash: 1 Yellow Belly Hippo Tang (March 2008) 1 Coral Beauty (May 2007) 1 Maculiceps Tang (February 11, 2014) 1 Yellow Coris Wrasse (December 13, 2013) 2 Yellow Pyramid Butterfly (August 21, 2014) 1 Juvenile Emperor Angel (January 3, 2017) 1 Cleaner Wrasse (June 8, 2017) 1 Orange Shoulder Tang (July 31, 2017) 1 Emperor Angel (August 18, 2017) 1 Yellow Tang (September 9, 2017) Corals:A few SPS frags, soft corals and a massive Blue Ridge that takes over the middle of the tank. I have seen some growth from the SPS frags in the tank so I went and purchased 4 more frags but one was coated in AEFWs. So most of it got trashed. Current flow system:2 Tunze Stream 6105s with the Tunze 7096 Controller on the ends of the tank point toward the surfaceReturn pump is a Waveline Apex Ready DC10000II water pump1 Closed loop system with an Abyss A200 DC Pump. 1 Closed loop system with a Red Dragon 3 230w DC Pump What is next:I think the last fish I am going to add is a Blue Spine Unicorn Tang. Get my SPS load high again. Planning on going to Reef Systems in a few weeks and getting some more!! Here is a video I love your Maculiceps Tang. How long have you had it? Any issues with your angels nipping at coral? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinelife Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 I got him back in just over 3 years ago. I got him off a guy that had him for 2 year I think it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinelife Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Added a Blue Spine Unicorn Tang Thursday, hoping the other fish leave him alone. I was just released into the tank today. I had him in box in the aquarium to make sure he was eating. So far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonvice Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Awesome. Live Aquaria is good for that kind of thing. Did you acclimate him in any way, or just dump and go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinelife Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 I set him in my sump for about 20 minutes to match the temp. Then I opened and put him in a bucket and dripped water from the tank into the bucket for about 45 minutes. About 25 minutes in I removed half the water from the bucket. Once the salinity was the same as the tank I moved the fish to a holding box in the tank to get him to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watdachuck Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Do you have any more Emperor Angel photos? I am a big fan of the pair are they getting along?...I have a little 4 inched at the moment name BoTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinelife Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 No new pictures at this time. only the video. One turned black and its circles faded. Now the circles/lines are returning. Not sure why that happened. The other is over half way changed. They get alone so far without issue. I notice the one that is changed more will leave the seaweed when the other one shows up but I do not see any fighting or chancing. I do see them at times hanging out together. Its hard to get good pictures, the blue on them just shines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinelife Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Tank updates: Changed out the 6 Mars Aqua LEDs for 3 Aquasanrise Plus R60 from ReefBreeders. So far I like them. The color of my corals is very nice now. I also removed the penductors and added Random Flow Generators. this creates a random flow in the tank without anything to break. More information about them can be found here: https://vividcreativeaquatics.com/ I also add about 13 sps corals. So far they are doing great!

But only one is about a full adult. Others I have had did not have issues with SPS. LPS they would eat. Not sure on softies. I have some now so time will tell with those.

marinelife Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Been a while so time for an update. Here is a video of the fish. The corals are still regrowing. Several corals show growth, some show death. Not really sure why they are dying off. The fish are going great and getting bigger. https://youtu.be/cuNzA4ZOMUk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinelife Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Update time: I removed the Random Flow Generators and add the penductors back, the RFGs just did not do well with my configuration. Changed my return pump to an Abyzz A200 I added 2 5' siporax reactors after losing most of my sps I sent my water out to be tested and found out my Nitrates was over 200 and I had a lot of Tin in my water. After several water changes, I think my Nitrates are good. My test kit was still good but I got 2 different ones to see if they match. I really do not have an LFS to have my water checked and verified at. I also am running some Seachem Cuprisorb to remove the tin. Trying to figure out what it came from. I added some fish because a friend is moving and he needed a good home for them. I added a 1 Unicorn Tang 1 False Personifer Anglefish 1 Bennett’s Butterflyfish, Chaetodon bennetti 1 Bluespot Butterflyfish, Chaetodon plebeius 1 Moorish idol I also added a Razor Tang in February, it is an awesome fish. The Blue Spine Unicorn Tang ended up being a Vlamingi Tang, Live Aquaria ending up giving me all my money back since it was not what I ordered. Even after the 2 months, it took me to figure it out. Is a few weeks I am going to add a few new SPS corals to see if they can survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
