Hey folks!! Just need some feedback!

[Ghost463]

Soo!!! I have a question more about experiences then just black and white reading. I have looked it up over and over to get no real answer. Other then.. At your own risk..
So i figure all of us together have a grouping of experience that may answer the question.

Here it is.
I have a 75 gallon salt water tank. More then a year old now. I have stocked it pretty well so far.
List.
2 saphire damsels
Four line damsel x1
Ocularis cloun only 1
2 pink skunk clouns
3 pajama cardinals
Bicolor angel x1
Flame angel x1
6 line wrasse x1
Cleaner wrasse x1
One spot foxface x1
Sleeper golby x1
2 urhines x1 tuxedo the otger is green and red tip.
Decorator crab
Banded shrimp
Crabs. Snails. Shrimp.

Question is. I have the flame and bicolor angel in harmony atm.

I want a coral beauty at the pet store. Around the same size as the flame. Twice the size of the bicolor who sticks to himself.
Has anybody actually tried this yet?
Any other feedback? I have links and all that. But have found a good co-existence so far.
Any general discussion aroind the angels would be great as well.

Quick pick!!!

You have 15 fish in a 75 gallon? Did I count that right?

Yup.

 

[Flippers4pups]

I wouldn't risk another fish In your DT for numerous reasons. One is there is bound to be aggression issues with the angels that you have already by adding another one.

Second, the bio load you have is going to be enormous. Unless you have a very large sump and a solid nutrient export, I would highly recommend not adding another.

 

[Ghost463]

Awesome thanks all.
Looking for anyone who has tried this. 3 angels in 1 eco system.

Note the 75 is an older system but wont be my largest for long. Going 200+ before the end of the year.

Edit. Long term goals os to consolidate 5 tanks to 2. 1 300+ fresh 1 200+ salt.

I also forgot my newest. Fuzzy dwarf lion fish

If I were you I would wait till you get the tank upgrade. The angels you have are very small right now but they won't remain that way. I'm afraid to try 2 in my tank that is more than twice the size of yours. Self discipline is hard but it's a major factor in success.

How are you handling nutrient export with that many fish? As they grow your present system of filtration may not be adequate.

Yes i have 6 in a 125 gallon

So i chose against the by color angel but did get a fair size peel angel.
Other then the pesky 4 line damsel all is going well.

 

[James M]

So now 17 fish ? Fuzzy dwarf and the lemon peel angel.

 

[Ghost463]

How do i do it?
The real concern was with the flame angel and the peel. But they swim together. Who would have thought.

I think he was referring to such a large fish population in a smaller tank as a matter of concern. I am curious about how long your tank has been setup, what kind of filtration you have, and what your parameters are.

 

[Ghost463]

The 3 big ones!

It is running an fx4 in a 75 gal profile 1000 tank.
I use mainly higher end filter medias.
Chemi pure charcoal swaped out once a month while the white stone is kept mainly intact. Take some of the dirty out and replace it as needed.
Bucket bump once a week. Clean sponges and whatnot.
Tanks been running full out almost a year. Minus a meth blue treatment 6 months ago. Ich from wild caught tang. Supplier issue/short qt was pretty much my fault.
All of my fish are qtd in a uv sterilized setup for more then a week most times. That tang was special purple and was not given that time for other reasons.
Mainly its a matter of hiding places. I have had to add to the live stone to make more place.
I think this has to do with how i stock the tank from the start. Was a pretty good stocking. Then as i did filter changes and added media i added the new fish.
I do thos in most of my tanks. As clients find new fish they want.

What about the planned upgrade? Did it not happen? That is too many fish in that tank!

Awesome thanks all.

Do you test any of your parameters? A canister filter solely for filtration is typically not ideal for a reef setup.

The upgraded tank is in my house atm
Not yet set up. I have to move a 45 bow 75 fresh and a 20 qt before i set up the 150. Holiday season and all.
Lots of work ahead.

 

[MSB123]

Ok. I still think that a 150 isn’t enough room for 3-4 angels.
