Default New FOWLR on the boards..

Whats happnin reefbuilders, New to this site, and have been reading some posts here and there, just thought i would share my Tank/Fish with the rest of u!

I have been in the hobby for about 7 months or so, have a 75G tank with built in corner overflow, 60HOB Fuge, 20L for the sump..

Lighting which is over kill... HQI/T5 Combo(outer orbit) i will explain ....


When i first enterd the hobby i wanted a fish only tank, well tim went on then corals set in.. lol

Needless to say after six months i sold my corals so i could have my fish only!

I am going to TRY for a Centropyge Dominated tank, I know most if not all say i cant happen or u cant keep pygmys together, but so far so good!

heres what i got
1x Coral B
1x Half black
1x Rusty

1x Yellow coris
1x Fuzzy Dwarf

Will try and get some pictures but they r still kinda cam shy..

anyone is more then welcom to give exp/advice!!

Welcome to RB Justin! Most people like to lump all Dwarf Angelfish together, when in all actuality, some species are very aggressive and others are relatively passive. Having plenty of hiding places will help prevent them from fighting, along with selecting more passive species Some people also say that you should only have one male angel per tank, but that can be tough to figure out which is male and which is female since they all look alike with the exception that the males are generally larger.

Thanks for they reply pogodzib..

I do have about 100lbs of LR in the tank, the largest pygmy is about 3 1/2 inches, the coral beauty. the half-black is super passive compared to the CB, and the Rusty is in the middle.. so far everyone gets along. hopefully stays that way!

try and get a tank shot on tonight...
