wizardx322 Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 June update: i lost about 6+ (clowns, mydas blenny, fat head anthias, and powder brown, some chromis and some more) of my fish about a month or so ago went 2 weeks without adding and ran a UV sterilizer i have since added mimic tang powder blue tang and 2 green mandarins removed my yellow tang and traded for a smaller purple tang. I decided i wanted alot of clowns in my tank so had jake order me 16 true perculas I got them in today and to my surprise i had gotten a couple of picasso's in the deal and they sent 17 of them so i got 1 black ocellaris and pulled one the picasso's and put them in my 40 gal AIO tank. and the other 16 went into my 190gal. i took videos and will try to get them up when i can in the mean time here are some pics sorry about bad pics the full tank shot was taken before i decided to put the clowns in the tank today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+olaggie01 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Nice addition Tim. I lost a couple of anthias as well lately. I think running a UV is a smart idea. I might need to add one when I move over everything to my closet. What size are you using? Brand? That's a cool school of clowns. Keep us updated on how they do.

I might need to add one when I move over everything to my closet. What size are you using? Brand? That's a cool school of clowns. Keep us updated on how they do. I got a used aquamedic helix 36 w uv and bought a new bulb. I decided on clowns as I wanted a lot of fish but couldn't add another tang or wrasse, I want anthias but they are finicky and didn't want damsels/ chromis so I went with a large school of true perculas to fill in the tank I think I am set on fish right now only wanting 2 other but I can wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardx322 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 time for my monthly update i feel like i frag alot more then i should since my tank looks the same each month it seems like lol added chevron tang all the clowns are doing well and are hosting my rbta i think i may have lost one but its so hard to count them. here are some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Great looking tank! I almost bought the same tank but ended up going with the 175G DSA...now you have me wondering! I went down an paid for it this past Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoly Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I can't remember whether you have an apex or not, but if you have temp logs it would be a factor that you could quickly eliminate (maybe a temporary power outage that fixed itself when you returned home?). Otherwise, I'm trying to think of the parameters that would cause losses in such a short time period...Alk/Ca/Mg wouldn't cause receding, just lack of flourishing. So you're left with contaminants (painting, cleaning chemicals), pH issues, NH3, NO4, NO3, or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimmerzs Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hi, I would check Alk level's, my old tank would drop 2.5dHH a day if I turned off my CaRx. Low alk will cause recession in sps if low, you make want to triple check salinity also in case something happened with your top-off method(i.e. somehow topping off with saltwater while away etc.) Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
