Arminius Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I had an achilles tang in my 120 and I fed him nori and formula #2 - I added garlic juice to the frozen stuff. Also fed some Tang heaven mix from Indo-Pacific Sea Farms. It's expensive, but I never had a healthier tang.

Garrett Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 That Tang Heaven sounds like a sweet macro pack, ive been thinking of adding a 5g bucket ran off my return from carbon reactor and doing dsb and macros in there to propigate for him long term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arminius Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Sounds like a good idea - add a cheap grow light and yer in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yeah poor man approach to it get some mangroves growing in a bucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arminius Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I don't know mangroves grow tall fast and it's hard to keep them leafing - you would need a good grow setup to make them effective. I really liked the "clams as biofilters" thread - add a clam, get some beauty and a nutrient sink... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Thats my camera on my phone i didnt mess with it so thats what the lighta do, its black tan and brown. I can probably get a better pic, its a fatty squamosa spent money on cheap fuge for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arminius Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Oh right you were saving for a fuge? I knew it was the lights messing with whatever camera - I was kidding. It looks like a nice specimen and obviously your tank is in good shape because it's open. Looks like it has a nice pattern too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
