Dukes 80G Acrylic Tank

Yea the standard 90g is 48x18x24... But if you want to be 100% accurate , measure the tank from the inside of the acrylic instead of the outside. You probably are closer to 80g than 90g.
For ex. My 150g 48x24x30, is actually approx 130g total water volume.

Thanks, it doesn't really matter all that much, all I know is its too small  :?

I don't think that's a lyretail anthia

Looks like another type to me

They are the fiji variant lyretail or squampinnis.  I believe they are a more purple colour for the and the females are more of a peach colour.

Re: Dukes 80G Acrylic Tank

my photos are pretty dark too, I took them with a very quick shutter speed in order to get them sharp. the color is accurate but they are a bit lighter and have a bit more red color to them.

Quick video I shot earlier feeding the fish, watch in HD even tho its not a very good quality video.

I fed 1 cube of pe Mysis, 1 cube of brine shrimp, 4-5 scoops of brs reef chilli and 4 drops of amino acids which I added just before I started the video, I leave all my pumps running but my return for at least 30 minutes, I've been doing this daily for a while now and it seems to keep the fish happy.

Tanks looking good! Is there any aggression with your copperband and tangs?

Not really, the copperband is only on its 3rd day in my tank so im hoping it works out, im more worried about getting it to eat well, the tangs both have chased him around a bit, bit nothing really overly aggressive, those pygmy angels are giving him a hard time now and then also but again its not really aggressive, Hopefully its just them establishing the pecking order, and it goes away soon, I think that copperband is tied with the chromis for being the smallest fish in the tank.

Re: Dukes 80G Acrylic Tank

Nice man!

That seems like a lot of food, but if your not seeing any algae, its probably the right amount.
