While I haven't yet hit my stride with my current tank, I have a few tips that have helped me through the years. One thing I hear is "patience is key" but I also feel you can be "too patient". For example, if you see a nuisance algae (like the green turf algae I dealt with), don't be too...

If there's any advice I can give, here it is: 1) Take your time. However you decide to put it together, using acrylic rods, mortar, etc., try to have fun with it. I'd even watch some youtube videos on some tips. 2) It won't look perfect, so don't sweat it too much. And, in the end, the corals...

Nice! Do you have an equipment list yet (aside from the lighting)?

Considering how much work it can be to make sure fish are parasite free, and also absorbing the costs of lost fish (obtaining not-so-healthy fish from the wholesaler and not being able to bring it back to health), I think most places are reasonably priced. If you can find a place that you can...

Awesome, I'll definitely look into that.

Yup, I've seen them at Tongs from time to time. Hoping to find someone that has a wholesale connection (at least for the Gem) since their retail mark-up makes them quite pricey (heck, their wholesale price is still pretty pricey for a fish).

Mines looking good too. Seems to have colored up a bit, and starting to spread over the glue.

Thanks guys. Looking to QT myself to save a bit on the cost.

Hey Everyone! As the title states, I’m looking for a Gem Tang and Whitetail Bristletooth Tang (preferably on the smaller side). Does anybody have any wholesaler connections? I’m located in South OC but willing to drive. Thanks in advance! Chad

I think that you'll have a few guys here (me included) that will give you a free frag once ours are grown out. Sorry to hear the news though.

Just under 2cm for me (essentially the same as prior photo)

Great point. I QT all of my fish, but the BSJF is definitely one that helps to QT first.

I keep my tank at about 77-78, but cooler is supposedly better for these guys. I would say there are a few factors that I feel are the most important: 1) Deep enough sandbed (I'd say 3 inches is minimum) with rubble, shells, etc. so that he can make his burrow, 2) Tight lid in case he decides to...

No Nikon here! Although very tempted now 😂

Just got my ruler this morning... good luck everyone!

Do you mind taking a pic of them out of the box before hanging? I just want to see how clean the housing looks.

Seriously dude... and I'm sure there will be a few more before the tanks are dialed in!

I'll pick up on Sunday (picking up for @Bighauck too).

I'm off Oso Pkwy and happy to coral-sit.
