Hi Chuck

This is simply AWESOME pictures,my friend. I like to see some more pics from your tank,how is it doing now? Hope all is proceeding according to plan.

Edit:Forget the last statement,Just saw your other thread

MtnDewMan · 09-20-2003, 03:27 PM

Thanks Gene

Installed the AM 4700 today. Definately more flow ... works great but noisier than the 3000 for sure. I wonder if I can tolerate the noise in the long run? Time will tell

Northman_with_reef · 09-20-2003, 06:21 PM

Woha!

Beautiful coloration

, what do you feed him?

MtnDewMan · 09-20-2003, 09:32 PM

I feed mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, all that is algae in the tank

, some nori ...

And the ampmaster 4700 is off the tank ... the 3000 is back on ... too noisy for the living room and put off too much heat, the chiller wasn't keeping up with the heat addition

Awesome fish and nice shots Chuck!

Thanks ... I like this fish a lot

almostdiva · 09-26-2003, 04:17 PM

Chuck,

He's a looker, that' s for sure!

Does he chase your copperband?

Rebecca

MtnDewMan · 09-28-2003, 08:57 PM

I unfortunately lost my copperband during my tank problems

, so I guess the technical answer to your question is, no, the tang doesn't chase down my copperband ....

almostdiva · 09-29-2003, 09:24 AM

I saw your stock list in your other thread and wondered...

so sorry to hear he didn't make it.

MtnDewMan · 09-29-2003, 02:50 PM

Maybe one day again I will give a copperband a try, but for now I am happy with the few fish that I do have

That is a very beautiful Purple tang. I really like the lines patern. Some of the Purple tang I see only have lines on the front, none on the rear 2/3 of the fish.
Chuck, It is a very healthy and beautiful fish. What is the size of the king of your tank?

Thanks Minh ... the tang is about 3" nose to tail right along with my mama clown ... so they are very comparable in size
