cycled for 2 months before adding any fish.. bacteria doesn't take long to catch up but the 40 gal water change certainly helped dilute any mini cycle that could have occurred..

Hi. Great video, thanks!
Question, I'm new to reef keeping & still in planning stages.

Its easy for me to be Monday morning quarterback-

With a new tank after nitrogen cycle is completed then you dealt with both brown diatoms & hair algae..

What if you had 3 leds going strong on your algae scrubber, maybe have 2 algae scrubbers & raised lights or cut back on photo periods since you didn't have any corals or fish at that time. Maybe add Phosguard to a reactor or a pad to sump?

I guess my question is could you have avoided getting major diatoms & brown algae from the start?

Maybe one can't, that's what I'm curious to learn about.
Michael Piccirillo
Michael Piccirillo - 7 years ago
CJ'S AQUARIUMS thanks 4 quick reply, didn't think so but asking couldn't hurt.

Anything you would've done differently on this build now that its been up & running a some time?

When's the next major build? LOL
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 7 years ago
no avoiding diatoms in my experience .. i could have avoided hair algae by curing rock outside the tank with heavy water change regime and gfo in that container..... scrubber wouldnt have made the diff even if i had 2-3 of them.. needed more export during the curing phase

Hi! I've just stumble onto your channel. I'm not in the saltwater hobby myself, but I really like your setup. I like how your rocks are displayed, and your fishes are gorgeous! Thanks for taking the time to make this video.


Also, your blue and brown tang seems to be chasing each other. Have you witness any type of agression? I was also wondering if any of these fishes would benefit being in a school of some sort (again, no judgement, just wondering, as a lot of freshwater fishes do).
Jessica Landry
Jessica Landry - 7 years ago
How sad, your brown tang was/is my favourite, with your flame angle! :)

Oh, I was just wondering, since corydoras need to be a pack, if there was this type of need for saltwater fishes. I clearly don't know anything about them! That's why I just watch the videos :P

when I seen this video in recommended I thought "oh cool an SCA 120" I've been shopping for a tank and SCA is one I've checked out. I click it, it's 14 minutes. I think "wtf that's excessive" I was wrong. I watched it all and was entertained the whole time. I love the rock work, I love the fish, I mean 4 tangs in a 120 seems crazy IMO but time will tell. Love your plumbing. Loved watching the powder tangs chase each other the whole time lol. Hopefully they work it out. Good job so far.

CJ I got that same Leopard Wrasse :) My angel fish and yellow tang all died I had an ick outbreak, but now it seems the Leopard Wrasse is been doing fine or resistant to ick, it's been more than 2 months, can you recommend for me to start adding fish again?
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 7 years ago
only way u will find out is adding more fish.. ick goes thru life cycles.. so it may be dormant.. just make sure if u do decide to add fish; keep stress low to help prevent an outbreak that could occur when the ick wakes up...

hey CJ, love the channel. Have been a subscriber for a long time now. I used to have multiple tangs inside my aquarium. I think you might need to add a few more caves for them to sleep in otherwise they will become territorial throughout the night. tanks looking great and i love how u set up your rock work too.

Glad to see some tangs in your tank and you did the best thing by adding them at the same time and your powder blue going to be the most aggressive tang in your tank I had a powder brown and blues before powder brown is going to get beat up by your powder blue it anything was to go wrong but they should settle in nicely but I say the powder blue is is going to be or is all ready the Alfa of the tank I love tangs I just got a new tangs myself for my b-day lol a mustard tang bringing him him in a week he is in qt at my trusted lfs I don't qt my fish I don't see a point to add more stress and plus my lfs takes really good care of their fish they are all properly treated and eating well and in great health, love your new tank CJ can't wait to see your new dwarf angels you end up getting

man this making me miss my powder blue! hopefully your's isnt an asshole like mine was. she was a little over 6 inches and didnt let no other fish enter the tank anymore. on this new build up i'm thinking of one Achilles and maybe a couple of gold rims as my tangs, the magnificant fox face which is 6 inches already and a couple of designer clowns, and of course my diamond goby lol. making good progress man!

Great Video.  Wow!Did you have your fish store order and hold the fish for a few days for you, to ensure they survive and eat?  I'm thinking of going that route.  Does your store dose their tanks with a light copper dose?  I know of one store here in San Antonio the doses its fish only tanks with a light dose of copper.

Brandon J
Brandon J - 7 years ago
I would consider getting baby tangs if you have to swap those out. Smaller tangs will swim more freely in your tank and chances are they will be less aggressive because they feel as though they have more space. I can keep two baby tangs better than I can keep one average size tang.

I really love your approach to reefing. You're also super chill and avoid that pretentious attitude that most reefers have on YouTube. Keep up the good work, man. Subscribed!

CJ are you going to seed the tank with pods (copepods and amphipods) like the ones offered by Algagen to help feed the future fish on your "possible" stock list

Eldridge Henry, II yes I'll be seeding the tank heavily Multiple times over the next few months. Pods are like anything else... more food supply the more hey multiply

Damn CJ this tank is awesome. Really like the scape and the sump layout. You are going to cost me money....I have an awesome little purple tank in my tank now. My wife bought it for me. She doesn't know anything about tang police lol. I will have to re-home him in a year or so but it is fat and happy now.

Nobody will be able to tell you definitively if those tangs will or will not get along. Although I bet you will receive some comments advising one way or the other. I think you did it the right way by adding them all at once. It will be interesting to see how a new tank handles that bioload though. I was looking at this video from a smaller screen on my mobile phone and it appears that you have a powder brown in there. I'm not saying that they can't all cohabitate, but my money is on that one being the dominant one.

CJ, those Tangs look great! I own 4 Tangs currently, but seeing yours makes me so jelly! The way I understand Tang aggression with each other, they see shapes and not really colors. So the Yellow Tangs are aggressive to similarly shaped or sized Tangs such as Purple Tang, etc. So the Powder Brown may show aggression to the Powder Blue, possibly to Hippo Tang, etc. How they react to non Tang species are unpredictable, but you can always throw in a Maroon Clown to referee? ;-) See the chewed off fins on mine for more info. LOL! Be easy!

Looks amazing with all the new life, still can't get over the aquascaping. Please please add a pair of Mandarins after getting a decent amount of copepods established which you can do by getting them from the lfs. They are by far the most beautiful fish in my opinion, peace.
