Reef Safe Angel Fish

Well, I may just have to wait on the Bandit for a separate tank display tank.

In my 150g DT. I Currently have:

1. Powder Tang (4")
2. Chevron Tang (3")
3. Foxface (4")
4. Picasso Clown (2.5")
5. x2 Solar Wrasse (2.5")
6. x5 Anthias (1.5")

I would say im pretty stocked up with LPS and Filter feeders (Sponges & Gorgonians)

My feeding regimen is consistent. Formula 2 flakes in the AM and Frozen Blend in the PM (Selcon, Microvert, Cyclopeez, ReefRoids and ChemVite). I dose KZ Coral Vitalizer (x2weekly), ZeoSpur Macro Elements (3x Weekly), KZ Amino Acids (1x Weekly or When adding/Acclimating new corals).

Filtration:

40 gallon Sump Mechanical. ZeoLite Reactor, Carbon Reactor and Vertex 180i Skimmer on dry. 1 micron Filter sock replaced every 3 days and KZ Carbon replaced every month. 2 Part Cal/Alk on alternate dosing schedules.

So basically my parameters are:

Cal - 440
Alk - 6.5 dkh
PO4 - 0.05 - 0.07
NO3 - 0.25
Mag - 1250
Potassium - 380
Salinity - 1.026
Temp - 79-80
Ph - 8.3 in AM /
8.1 in the PM (Consistent)

There is nothing more frustrating than buying fish for their color and personalities and watching them eat and grow....and then you notice your corals aren't doing that great while seeing some fish nipping at them. What to do?? I did not realize when I started my tank that I could grow corals - started off with all my favorite fish including dwarf angels. After buying a few corals and getting frags from swaps and other members, I was hooked! Some corals did well and others did not. Of course the angels went after the expensive corals like scolys and chalices - not the cheap stuff! It was difficult making the decision to give them up, find them another home and borrowing a fish trap.

I would suggest to anyone getting into this hobby that if you want to keep corals, don't buy any fish that is not 100% reef safe. Don't gamble and you won't have to ruin your rockscape to remove a fish that is eating your prized coral. Yes, you could get lucky and find that one angel that won't eat your coral but why chance it when so many people haven't been so lucky?! Just my 2 cents!!
