poor boys 29gallon

[BigFish]

well everything is in the pic there is not alot yet, but I am slowly adding things. The lighting is 144watt PC made by JBJ it has 2 6500 daylights and two blue actinics. YOu can basically tell what everything else is.

I know 29g is too small for the tang when he grows. But for now he is fine and I will be buying an 80g in a few months.

Long story short I bought the tang when I had a 55g. He is about 4 years old. The 55g recently boke, and Due to not budgeting for a new tank all I could afford to put them in was a 29g.

I know my tank is a little plain right now. But I am taking it slow for awhile :lol: well more like I am broke either way it works out fine.

The finger leather in the top right corner was just purchased yesterday and has barley started to perk up. But he looks better now then he did at the store :mrgreen: at he store it was drooped over and a little shriveled up.

Nice, I can't wait to really get my tank going. How do you like your Ocellaris clowns? I'm trying to decide between Ocellaris' and Tomatos.

[BigFish]

They are great, They are quite intertaining to watch they are very peacefull they even run from that darn damsel (the fish that should disapear any day now)

[Zack]

good luck getting the damsel out :lol: I did it, I was lucky!

Looks nice!

I would definitaly upgrade that tank! You might actually want to think more along the line of a 100-200 gallon tank for when that tang is full grown :wink: A larger tank can actually be cheaper than some smaller sized tanks.

well I dont have enough space for a 200g in my house A 125 would be the biggest I could fit. But I have been considering a 125, The 80g with stand and hood would be About $650, then I would need sump lights etc. I figure I could get an 80g running for about $1000. That is without fish or lr or water..... you get what I'm saying about $1000 B4 I buy any livestock. or powerheads.

Damsel is easy to get out in 29. Considering you don't have that much LR or coral. Trap him in a rock then pull the rock out. HAHAHA.

[BigFish]

lol when I tried that he fell out of the rock back into te tank. But he is actualy very hard to trap unlike my clowns that swim purposly into the net to see what will happen

[Fugly]

Teehee hee thats the clowns nature...
Maybe try teasing the damsel with some food. Then when he's not lookin and too busy eatin, WHAM net the little punk. I have to go through this procedure with some Chromis and they seem to be gullable to the food trick.

I think the best way to do anything on a budget, is buy USED. I paid $200 for my 90 gallon with oak stand and canopy.

[BigFish]

Good Idea I will start checking the paper's when I get the money.

As far as catching the damsel you can purchase "the trap" from www.transfishsupplies.com . they work.

I have added 3 hard corals, well I won them in a raffel so the cuttings were free.

I will post a new pic of the tank soon.
