    Default 5 Month mark

    Sorry for the quality of the pictures, as I do not have a good camera. But thought I would share some more since this is right at the 5 month mark of my tank being up.

    Nice pics & tank!

    A couple of unsolicited suggestions...

    1.) Get a small flat rock to get your wellsophyllia up of the sandbed a little bit. He'll do much better if he isn't always getting sand on him.
    2.) What are you feeding your convict tang? He is really skinny. I've noticed that they seem to need lots & lots of vegetable matter (seaweed selects) and if they are eating alot of stuff like brine shrimp & mysis they tend to just keep losing weight. Also I dewormed mine using live brine shrimp gut loaded with praziquantel, he seems to keep weight on a little easier now.

    Thanks Richard,

    1) Thanks for the sugestion. I did have it up higher in the tank at one time but it did not seem like it liked it there. I will see what i can do to get it up just a little.

    2) The convict tang is a fairly new addition. So I am still trying to fatten him up. Being that I have 4 tangs I do feed alot of seaweed selects, Along with brine and flakes. I have not ever heard of deworming fish but I will have to do some more reading and try it out. I know my yellow tang was like the convict when I got him, basicaly see through, but now is fattened up.

    LOL call me a softy for little sickly looking fish.

    nice looking tank, i think drilling it would go a long ways...you could get rid of all that plastic in the tank.

    Thanks Ross

    I have thought about drilling but being this is my first tank I am not to concerned with the plastic being there. When ever I do another tank or just up-grade then I will look more into either a RR or haveing one drilled. I kind of started big for my first SW tank.
