    @Fish_Ventura Před rokem

    Great to see you again. Maybe get a Yellow Corse wrasse for color? The Purp and yellow both Zebrasoma,, if you get a yellow get a tiny tiny one from Ora. Juveniles will slip in easier. Once they are big enough to be trouble it’s too late :). That’s what I do when I can. Have 9 tangs on a 300, they are fun, gotta be smart.

  • @tricktaylor1983
    @tricktaylor1983 Před rokem +1

    I have a 4 year old dragon face pipefish. He eats everything. Definately prefers pods but takes frozen. Its a mixed reef. So not crazy flow. Its sort of a hanging chinese garden style scape so theres only a couple big rocks touching the substrate. Ive probably had 10 over the years and hes the only one that lived linger than 6 months or a year. Hes pretty aggressive compared to others of the same species ive had. Hell swim right to the surface during feeding when the pumps are off. The rest of the tine he hunts pods at the base of the rock and the base of the aquarium walls.
    I also have a melanarus wrasse without a lid on my tank...fingers crossed
    Beautiful store. I live in San Siego and there are a couple pretty nice stores one in particular aquasd that has a comparable inventory of coral but it barely has a showroom and mostly operates online. I only wish i had a lfs like this.

    WOW I wish we had a store like this here in Austria. Their tanks look amazing and they have SO much stuff.
    The Nyos Opus G2 is my absolute favorite tank, but it only comes in 90cm's width and that makes me very sad. So I will probably be buying the D-D 1200 at 120cm's width. The reeffactory products are so innovative and look sexy.
