I am thinking about getting more butterflies in my 180, are they usually pretty clean? as in doesn't produce a lot of waste compared to angels or tangs? I am asking what is their bio load like.
They generally don't eat as much algae as tangs or angels, but I'm not sure that means they are less of a bioload... it's maybe just less obvious. My butterflies eat A LOT!
Chaetodon semilarvatus? Relatively easy, kind of expensive (at least here in the US since it's from the Red Sea), and rather aggressive. In fact I sold him off because he was too aggressive to some of the other butterflies. Shame though.... really pretty.
Amazing

Thanks, yup thats the one. Looks like yours is doing great!
Wow. Nice butterfly collection. I've never had success with butterly (heniochus, pearlscale, longnose, klein). Any tips?
can you please explain about the filtration system and the maintenance rutin in that tank?
Thanks. I guess number one tip would be QT - it's a must!
Nice setup!! Hey peter, do you still have those fish?

How do you sustain the parrotfish? Beautiful tank, and animals by the way.
