did your blue tang ever get ick

The Reef Rookie - 9 years ago

Hi....nice tank. I have a question....will that blue tang out grow a 55 gallon tank? I have 55 gallon with a small blue tang and was wondering.

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 9 years ago

it will, but it will take years, i went to an 80 then 175 gallon tank as it got bigger and i wanted more room, but it was health and happy at 55. Make sure your tank is AT least 6 moths old before you get one

you need mad snails hombre!

rglewis49 - 12 years ago

love the aquascape. i just set up a 55 and all i could come up with was "the wall" across the back. Aquascaping a 55 is rough, but you did a great job.

Nice tank I am going to get a 55gal tank soon I got a 30 but I won't something biger so I can have more fish

@DaytonaRoadster Nice, what kind of buisness, btw thats what we use our prius for, that 1997 is indistructable, 300,000 miles on it and we got it new with 0 miles but we drove it 300,000 total, and the only think that ever broke was the fuel guage to tell you how much few is left in the tank.

@Timespartan111 Fit is for ride to work, it ets 40mpg, and out handles a corvette on a slalom course. The Z is for srs business, Fit was $17,000 new, Z was $29,000 used

Budget Shooter - 12 years ago

@DaytonaRoadster roadster looks nice, fit sport looks pretty shitty tbh, how much $?

@DaytonaRoadster what do you drive

Budget Shooter - 12 years ago

@DaytonaRoadster i dont like its look tho

Budget Shooter - 12 years ago

@DaytonaRoadster I seen it already, its like the ak47 of cars.

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 12 years ago

@Timespartan111 oh dont get the American built models, those are bad, make sure you get the ones still made in Japan and shipped here. The Toyota Hilux is the toughest truck built, check out the top gear vid on youtube with it, they literally could not destroy it

Budget Shooter - 12 years ago

@DaytonaRoadster We have had like 5 toyotas and all were quite terrible, my sisters spun out of control and it wrecked her car so bad it looked half the size, we currently have a newer 2011 toyota prius and a 1997 chevy SUV, i honestly hate the toyotas and hondas, there not offroad at all, unless your talking about the trucks, are you?

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 12 years ago

@Timespartan111 oh god no, whoever told you Japanese cars arent reliable is a fucktarded idiot, they are THE most reliable cars, Toyotas and Hondas are still on the road 30 years after their production, Check consumer reports, GM and Jeeps are always the lowest rated, Honda and Toyota are at the top. H-1s are pretty sweet, the others are glorified luxury SUVs that cant handle a speed bump.

Budget Shooter - 12 years ago

@DaytonaRoadster really? Ive heard the exact opossite! I thought japanese were unreliable and jeep was, I love the look of the jeep though, what do you think about hummers? and what kind of japaesse cars.

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 12 years ago

@Timespartan111 i wouldnt get a Jeep Wrangler, those things are unreliable piece of crap, my father had one that had this horrible suspension/harmonics problem, sometimes it would shake so bad it damn near crashed. Those things are always rated the least reliable cars...do yourself a favor, buy Japanese

Budget Shooter - 12 years ago

@DaytonaRoadster same but not as much, i accidently disilked this comment by the way sorry i meant to hit reply, i dont know much about cars, im only 14, all i know is im getting a jeep when im 18

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 13 years ago

@samuelwaynefoleyjr srsly, they grow so slow you can keep them in a little tank for a long time, hell my new tank will be here next week and its a 75 so shes getting an upgrade

Wayne's Fish World - 13 years ago

i think its funny man how people complain about tangs in a 4 foot long 55 when a 75 and a 90 and sometimes you cand find a 120 thats 4 foot long too check my videos out man

i hate sand beds i rock a bare bottom tank

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 14 years ago

@boss5468 its Ro/DI water from a Bulk Reef Supply 4 Stage System. Filtration is Live rock and refugium, with a phosphate reactor

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 14 years ago

@akcessdenied well no pets other than the fish, but ya i've heard about that before. I dont know why my sandbed would start doing that, but i suppose anything is possible

akcessdenied - 14 years ago

I have two ideas for what happened to mine... My 6 inch deep sand bed gave off that hydrogen sulfide gas stuff, or my wife got a puppy and it might of had that flea medicine that goes on the back of the neck. I heard that stuff will destroy your reef tank, pet the dog and then stick your hand in the tank a while later without out even knowing whats gunna happen. Watch out for your freinds dogs/cats also. I always wash my hands now before I put them in my tank.

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 14 years ago

@akcessdenied no, i lost all my crabs and shrimp, some om fish, a few corals, other fish and snails and even my starfish are fine. i have no idea what happened

akcessdenied - 14 years ago

Have you figured out the reason why your tank crashed? My tank went wierd a while back. Some of the fish were swimming sideways and all the hermit crabs, snails, peppermint shrimp, and pistol shrimp died.

@michellybaby FAIL its dory.

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 14 years ago

UPDATE: My tank suffered a massive crash this week, my poor Regal Tang and Flame Angel died, and the coral doesnt look good. I have no idea what caused it, but i am in the process of rebuilding it, or deciding to even try again...at this point i'm not sure, the tank has been going downhill since last summer, and honestly it looked the best in these vids. My 30 gallon tank on the other hand is doing great and i may post an update of that one

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 14 years ago

@reptilerob57 hes been in there for 3 years, honestly he looks bigger in the vid than he does in person

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 14 years ago

@blairfritz i have about 60 pounds of live rock now, in this vid i had about 40

Blair Fritz - 14 years ago

How much live rock is that? Also i saw that you first had a freshwater tank. right now i am trying to change my 55 gallon freshwater tank to a saltwater reef. Any Tips???

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 14 years ago

@alnoel22 i've had one in my 55 for over 3 years :)

Noel Twins - 14 years ago

do you think that you can keep a hippo tang in a 50 gallon

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 14 years ago

thanks, check out my newer vids and see it as i added more rock

Joe Hornback - 14 years ago

Nice setup bro! KUDOS!!!

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 14 years ago

if you put them in at the SAME time, yes If not they will fight, Tangs are very terratorial

Mitch M. - 14 years ago

@Benno828282 Full size yes, But anyone whos had one can tell you they grow VERY slowly, i've had this one 2 years and she's just slightly bigger than when i got her. Also i will be upgrading to a 125 whenever the economy picks up

Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel - 14 years ago

not really, she's been in there for 2 years, and is fat and happy
