    Default My tank

    Hi everybody! I'm new posting on this site, but i have read a lot of posts for a while, very informative topics and comments.
    I've decided to post pictures of my tank and see what do you think. As always, this is a work in progress, so it will change from time to time.

    Tank residents are: yellow tang, coral beauty, six line wrasse, lunar wrasse, neon damsel, 2 percula clowns (1 orange, 1 black), copper banded butterfly and a dwarf lionfish.

    Corals: 2 torch corals, 2 sunflowers, 1 pagoda, 1 hammer, candy cane coral, moon coral, 3 gorgonians (2 yellow, 1 purple).
    and about 90-100 lb. of live rock.
    it has been up for 1 year now!

    Sorry if pictures are not that clear, but i used my cheapo web camera since i don't have a real digital camera.

    Wow! I didn't think you could put a lion with clown and tang. I guess it is working out though huh?

    You can put a Tang with a Lion but most Clowns you probably shouldn't put with a V. Lion, but the Fuzy stay smaller so it probably won't be a bad thing......

    Tank looks great....think I would move the Yellow tang up higher in the tank though....JJ :-D

    Look good, keep up the good work

    ya the fuzzy is a type of dwarf lionfish, most of the time getting no bigger than 6-7 inches.

    You know, my flame angel nipped my corals but never did any damage.....never even saw a mark where he nipped at......the corals didn't seem to mind

    The lion is about 3.5in. and too small (i think) to eat any of the clowns, besides it gets fed ghost shrimp and/or feeder guppies 3 times a week, plus it has learned to eat frozen foods. The coral beauty and the butterfly have never had any problems as roomates and don't bother each other or any of the corals. my only concern is the lunar wrasse, it was kind of an impulse purchase, and I knew it gets pretty big, but it looked so awesome in the display tank I had to get it! :-D Otherwise no mayor problems.
