hey CJ just a question but wont this amount of fish be to much for the bio to deal with initially?

@CJSAQUARIUMS 7 жыл бұрын

cycled for 2 months before adding any fish.. bacteria doesn't take long to catch up but the 40 gal water change certainly helped dilute any mini cycle that could have occurred..

when I seen this video in recommended I thought "oh cool an SCA 120" I've been shopping for a tank and SCA is one I've checked out. I click it, it's 14 minutes. I think "wtf that's excessive" I was wrong. I watched it all and was entertained the whole time. I love the rock work, I love the fish, I mean 4 tangs in a 120 seems crazy IMO but time will tell. Love your plumbing. Loved watching the powder tangs chase each other the whole time lol. Hopefully they work it out. Good job so far.

hey CJ, love the channel. Have been a subscriber for a long time now. I used to have multiple tangs inside my aquarium. I think you might need to add a few more caves for them to sleep in otherwise they will become territorial throughout the night. tanks looking great and i love how u set up your rock work too.

🤣 I love it - Rule #2 of Reefing out the window with impulse fish purchases! If anyone can make it work, you can. Your scape offers lots of territories, plus they can escape from each other. I hope you end up being successful keeping both!

I do exactly what you do know what your looking for and stay away from impulse purchases... when possible.

CJ, those Tangs look great! I own 4 Tangs currently, but seeing yours makes me so jelly! The way I understand Tang aggression with each other, they see shapes and not really colors. So the Yellow Tangs are aggressive to similarly shaped or sized Tangs such as Purple Tang, etc. So the Powder Brown may show aggression to the Powder Blue, possibly to Hippo Tang, etc. How they react to non Tang species are unpredictable, but you can always throw in a Maroon Clown to referee? ;-) See the chewed off fins on mine for more info. LOL! Be easy!
