water change like once a week till it drops and temp i keep mine below 80. (please correct if i'm wrong thanks.)

i dont think i should say now but i did put it on this thread.

heres my tang

my family. the site i usually post pics on is having problems so no pics of aqua. yet but i finally bought a fish i got a yellow tang. i'm a little concerned though when lived in california the yellow tang only caused a little less than $10. at my local store (that i was putting my trust in) the tang did not have a price on it so the owner just said $30. i knew it didnt cost that much but i went ahead and bought it since that will be my last transaction with them (lost of trust). any comment? i'm happy with the fish but the shop jacked me o well thats minus 1 customer.

Hello Rudy & Welcome.

i'm at Poulsbo WA, right by ocean reef aquatics and THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE WELCOMING(rock2)

welcome to the site. What are you planning to keep in the tank? Do you have a skimmer? What kind of lighting setup are you using? I would bring a sample of the water to Lise at Fantaseas and have her check it for you. Then go from there. What test kit are you using?

well as far as fish goes my favorite one to get is the spotted clown fish (i think thats the name), nemo, yellow tangs, and other random fish but definitely my top 3. no i do not have a skimmer yet. i'm basically doing things manually. my lighting right now is just normal 18in flourescent (just waiting to have some $$$$$ i want to get the ones i saw at the store almost blue guessing its higher watts).

Hey Rudy .org!!!!!

 

Sounds like you have the first and most important part of a successful reef tank - PATIENCE!!!
