Thank you aunt kim.Realy garlic.? What kind and how much? So how do you sugest me to keep him fat? So far eating realy good. Dry seaweed, and frozen brin.
Hey Pasfur what other fish would you recomend to go with him in a 125 Reef tank. Im building the reef tank as we speek it wont be ready for 6 months to start puting corals in or fish. So i want to just get a few ideas. Also a few specs to the tank. It is going to have live sand 1 inch. 200 lbs live rock. A 55 gallon sump. with live rock.
I feed garlic enhanced pellets, Forumla Two by Ocean Nutrition is my favorite. The garlic works great to boost the resistance of fish to parasitical infections. I am glad to hear that you are feeding algae sheets, this will go a long way to helping the Tang settle into your tank. Feed several times per day, in addition to the algae sheets, especially in newer systems with a lack of algae for grazing.
You can use a 1'' sand bed. I have a 1'' sand bed in my 180. Just keep in mind, you will not receive a denitrification effect from a 1'' sand bed, so rising Nitrate levels can become an issue. To offset this, you would want to use more live rock than normal. I have about 300 pounds of live rock in my 180.
So would you recomend a 4 inch bed. Iv got the live sand 1 inch. If i need more i will get more. I put 40 Lb of live rock in and im orderd the dry rock 160 lbs. So that would be 200 lbs of rock would that be enough? What other fish would go with The tang, a perc clown. And a blue damsel.? Thanks for the help.
Yes, 200 pounds of rock should be plenty. The option of adding additional sand is up to you. Both methods work well, so long as you avoid sand depths between 1'' and 4''.
For fish options in a 125 reef to go along with a Sailfin Tang, almost anything will work, so long as you avoid other members of the Zebrasoma genus of Tang. This includes the Yellow Tang, Purple Tang, and Scopas Tang.
