Why did you choose 30 deep?

a friend of mine own a tank with this dimension and I like it a lot but I also was considering going to 27 instead. 44" will be nice to. I definitely like your tank size

Hey David, I ordered a sheet of 1/2 inch Starboard to my specifications from my local acrylic shop. What did you use to cut it? I'm sure I will need to trim it as I ordered it a little larger just in case. Plus, I will need to cut for the built in overflow.

I just used a skill saw it cut real nice

It is easy to cut with a skill saw but see if the shop your getting it has on of those vertical saws(like you'd see at Home Depot), they cut it really nice.

This morning I noticed a few of my Zoa's were looking real bad off. Sure enough as i camped out at tank all morning I caught the sailfin in the act. As soon as John gets home I'll go get his trap. He's out of there

That is crazy. Its almost seems as if we don't know the truth about certain animals in their original habitat. That is the second tang I have read that started eating on corals. Maybe there was some hidden algae that he saw or the zoa color imitated the color algae. Lately Hippo tangs have gone rogue and this is the first I have heard from a Sailfin. Better start keeping an eye on my two. What color were the zoas?

david00061 · 05/04/2013, 01:29 PM

I had to get rid of my Hippos cus they were eating them.
I noticed the zoas not looking so good a week ago.
I feed 3 times a day and i feed a lot.
I feed veggie flakes, veggie pellets, plus algae clips.
In late eaviningi feed a lot of home made Rods food

I remember seeing your pitcher and how healthy the fish were. Now I gotta keep an eye on my tangs.

anbosu · 05/05/2013, 07:52 AM

I've heard of it happening a lot more frequently with hippos. I think this is the first I've heard of an issue with a sailfin.

My Regal angel was a model citizen for 3.5 years.
Then one day went on a Zoa and Clam munching frenzy.....
I moved the zoas and the clams.
