That's a lot IMO. I had a brittle and a serpent in a 210 gallon and was worried they'd get enough to eat. I put them both in my 450 gallon last week.

I understand how you feel. A couple of months ago I lost my Kole Tang that I had for almost 12 years. I was so upset. The best thing now is to focus on your existing fish.

I do the same thing as "swanwillow" - I throw the snails in when the temp is the same. I have 7 tanks and lots of "live" snails.

If ammonia and nitrites are zero - add some astrea snail. They did a heck of a job cleaning up my 450 after it cycled. I would stay away from crabs, they may end up eating your snails (IMO).

IMO - you're way over stocked with the 2 tangs you already have. The Naso will get large and will out grow a 125 gallon very fast.

I've heard 20% is ideal. So if your tank is 100 gallons, your fuge would be 10 gallons. Any size fuge is better than no fuge.

I have 3 ballasts. I hung them on the wall by the lights. At some point they will be "covered" by the new stand/cover.

I use a cheap "Lights of America" light from Home Depot. It comes with a 6700K bulb. My chaeto loves it.

I use these lights on 3 of my fuges and all are doing well.

Is the bulb you're using in the 6000K range somewhere? If not, this would make a huge difference. Also, how many watts is the bulb?

Bleach will work great. You need to let it dry until you canoot smell it any more (e.g. outside in the sun) or as suggested use a declorinator afterwards.

I'm setting up a 450 gallon and using three 450 watt MH lights (96" x 36" x 30"). I'm not planning to keep SPS in there, but definately softies.
