What are the fish with the black and white striped tail

NICE TANK BUT CANT HELP FEEL SORRY FOR THEM TANGS

Noel Duncan - 11 years ago

who built ceramic reef structure please

Tom V - 11 years ago

Please watch some series on Nanos for some great ideas and advice on how to keep a small reef

Joshua Walker - 11 years ago

Ignore the fish police! Awesome Tank dude! FYI to the fish police, as long as you are running the proper stuff, you can heavily stock a tank. ChemiPure Elite, & Purigen in proper amounts will buffer the tank to allow for overstocking.

what skimmer do you use?

TiSilver330Ci - 11 years ago

Not really.

TiSilver330Ci - 11 years ago

Seriously? He has 7 larger fish and a good number of smaller fish. How is that overstocking the system? Everything SEEMs to thrive in that tank, plus, for the shear volume of water, it's plenty.

way too overstocked... poor fish.

Matt Drennan - 11 years ago

You shouldn't put all those fish in a 300 gallon let alone a 150

Matt Drennan - 11 years ago

Embarrassingly overstocked

AquariumsbyZero - 12 years ago

Aaron Cowart - 12 years ago

Thats an awesome tank! I hope mine will look half as good as that one. Check out my channel and look at my tank. let me know what you think!

ROBBIE WILLIAMS - 12 years ago

@AmandaPayneTv Maybe you didn't read that it is a 150g tank with a 50g refugium and 50g sump.

DrMovies - 12 years ago

Overstocked.

Ling Chanthasansack - 12 years ago

I see you have a Niger trigger and an angel, are they safe to have in a reef tank? Do your fishes mess with any corals?

Devon Morton - 12 years ago

We too have a mantis shrimp in our fuge. He's pretty entertaining! Nice vids.

Ryan Wood - 12 years ago

you sir, are rich as fuck.

jerryg - 12 years ago

I cant believe u made the mistake of placing that beautiful tank next to the staircase.... that is a FAIL.... i still wish i had a tank like that...... but still, location is everything.... @.@

mike82776 - 12 years ago

I love it. I don't think its overstocked when you take into account a 50 gal sump. Do you keep macro algae or mangroves somewhere? I have had great success getting rid of green hair.I would use my toothbrush on my rocks and equipment. also, copapods(sp) may help?

Mansa Musa - 12 years ago

@musicalangel1 yes it does. It's like worms eating dirt lol

musicalangel1 - 12 years ago

@RaffleReefer10 Thanks for reply, but it looks weird~

Mansa Musa - 12 years ago

@hieunguyen17 1 inch per 2 gallons if you have live rock and good filtration

Mansa Musa - 12 years ago

@JuanmaThesecret peacock mantis shrimp don't eat fish(unless they are tiny and slow)

Mansa Musa - 12 years ago

@musicalangel1 sandsifting goby, they sift the sand for food

Hieu Nguyen - 12 years ago

is it true that you can only have one inch of fish per five gallons in a saltwater tank? i need help because i am a beginner. also does that include coral or anemone?

@barberabass some kind of sleeper goby. I think it's a diamond sleeper goby...:)

euqrilius - 13 years ago

Dude I love your tanks, I want a setup just like this. I have begun thinking out the design i want to use. Would you be able to set up seahorses in the refugium with some copepods and amphipods?

T Cox - 13 years ago

2:25-2:31 what is that...looks amazing

Jack Barbera - 13 years ago

@animalmastermtd you said the TANK was 250 gallons not the system!

1992pattrow - 14 years ago

I have to say I dislike that tank. Not the set up, it is beautiful but the actual tank. I would love to see what you can do with a 150 long!

Hi! How is your tank doing? any update?

xCeeJOHN - 14 years ago

i like your whole set up and fish. That is a really nice spot to put your tank, right next to the stairs. Great view!

Vish Ramamurthy - 14 years ago

i'm having an algae problem in my 20 gallon saltwater tank. I got a blenny to keep it down. Will he eat it all?

syro666 - 14 years ago

beautiful Do you have MH? If so what kind of heating problems have you experienced?

FarRightFred - 14 years ago

this is one of the most beautiful setups I have seen.

htorres7270 - 14 years ago

@itsssannie The fish at 2:27 is a diamond goby, keep them in as a single or if adding more than 1 add them together since they might fight, great sand cleaners they sure do a good job cleaning all the substrate at the bottom

KooopuH - 14 years ago

nice tank man this is my favorite saltwater tank ive ever seen

pbmaniac2009 - 14 years ago

some of those fish need a little bit more room

Sharpshooter110 - 14 years ago

I Want to marry this tank ITS AWESOME

diabeedus - 14 years ago

@animalmastermtd my guess is about 4-6,000 dollars just to start out with (one sump/refugium) with frags of corals, not entire colonies, small fish and basic lighting. i have a 57g and 29g reef and im about 5,000 into both of them together. if you can find a local forum or even craigslist, you can find amazing deals on equipment. i just found a 200g reef ready tank/stand for 200 dollars. good luck!! its a LOT of fun!

hai vang - 14 years ago

Does your Regal ever bother your LPS and ZOO?

Emre Yorgancioglu - 14 years ago

@ryjack26 That is a sand goby.

shanks69 - 14 years ago

great set up there mate,i'm hoping to set up a marine tank in the near future.i've had tropical fish for years and i'm ready to take the plunge to saltwater.after looking at your tank it's making me more determind get the reef tank going,yours is one of the best i've seen in a long time and i'm mean that by including all types of fishtanks.very impresive.

grantbiz - 14 years ago

Your tank is beautiful! I have this exact size tank (filled with African Cichlids). Could you estimate how much you spent on the plant life and fish so I have an idea what I will spend in the future? Thanks in advance...

shamsiddin26 - 15 years ago

hai vang - 15 years ago

Hi there, Your Regal Angel is beautiful it from the Indo-Pacific or the Red sea? I love to had one in my tank but I hear only the Red Sea will have a better survive rate in captivity is that true?

killer79 - 15 years ago

hai vang - 15 years ago

WOW! U upgrade the tank look very nice and healthy? I was wondering do you top off with kalkwasser to maintain your water balance?
