Planted anglerfish tank
Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum, but I've been in the hobby for a while. This tank is my pride and joy right now. It houses my baby Commerson's anglerfish and the two talbot's damsels he was never able to catch.
Tank video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA2bgiEc6QE Current macros are: Titan algae (Titanophora sp.) Red gracilaria Halimeda sp. Dragon's breath Red grape (Botryocladia sp.) Codium sp. Blue ochtodes Pencil cap (Penicillus capitatus) Yellow Eucheuma Palm caulerpa (Caulerpa paspaloides) Cymopolia barbata Mermaid's fan |

can you tell me more about your tank. How old is it and how large is it and do you add anything to the tank? Do you use a skimmer or do water changes? can you post a full tank picture? It looks beautiful on the video.

Beautiful tank! How long have you had the eucheuma?

Sadly, I don't own a camera. I have to wait until my friend comes over with her DSLR, so I'll get a full tank shot then. |

Thank you I've only had the Eucheuma for a few days. Some parts died off from shipping, but so far it seems to be doing well. I put a piece in my dwarf seahorse tank because that runs at a lower temp and I was told that subtropical temps keep eucheuma yellow. I guess we'll see after a while how it does in different tanks.

Well I completely forgot this thread existed...
Anyway, a lot has changed recently. The angler jumped a couple months ago so now it's just the damsels left. I've added a lot more macros and NPS corals too. Here's a new FTS |

I'm starting a tank for an Angler. I'm not new to the hobby 125 reef and a 125 lion and snowflake tank. I'm using a 55 w/ sump, small fuge to help w/ live growth for copepods and food source. Growing some Macros in tank on a submerged mud bed covered with sand and rubble. Live rock structures and couple Zoa's and star polyps, etc. I know the sand bed will be an issue no gobies but thinking few snails and sand stars. Planning on some Damsels and ghost shrimp. Obviously will run ~month before I add the Angler. Any advice?
