I too am planning a larger tank. Out of curiosity, what is the approximate cost for a 90 gallon AGA? I would like to know so I can find a decent deal. I searched for prices on the net and nothing really.
Time for an update I suppose. The tank is doing well now. Had some odd bacterial infection from the fish I got months ago. Everyone died but the Cave Goby. The corals are all fine though. Also, I gave a few of the fish to a LFS and 8O the infection killed all of their fish. About 60 fish...
Update: Just added several items. I know I should have done it over time but I found a great deal.
Folded Brain Coral
Kole Tang
Mandarin
Clown Gobies
Several Button Polyps
Some type of soft coral. Kenya Tree I think.
I will post some pics tomorrow.

UPDATE: This morning I tested the water. Amonia Near 0, Nitrites0, Nitrates 0. WOOHOO!!! :D I held back on feedings to every other day to help. I think the Bio SPira helped as well though. SG came to 1.022ish on my Hydrometer. But the LFS read it at 1.026 on their Swing arm Hydrometer. I hate...
Great. Thanks. I will add some slightly salty water on topof today. I wish one of my three books would have mentioned that about the SG. :? Thank goodnes for this forum.
1.026 eh? This may be a problem. I wonder whey then, the manufacturer of my Hydrometer (coralife) as put a bracket around the 1.020 to 1.023 demarcations? Ugh :x Another LFS Story. "So long as it's between those brackets, it's ok." :(
I test the water as well as have them test it just to be safe. What should the SG be? Also, the bio spira is just to try and help save the fish now. In the future I will be using the fishles method. Darnet.
Ph is 8.4. Sg was tested as "good" by the LFS. On my cheapo SG thing it is right around 1.021. Temp remains in the 76.5 to 77.8 degree range. Does not fluctuate much. Nitrate 0, Nitrites, 0. By the way. It has been teh prescribed 24 hours and no lower amonia levels. I had hoped the Bio SPira...
This was exactly my thinking. I am confused. However, I just hope the Bio SPira saves the day. I will not hold my breath though. I have not seen any bristleworms since I set up the rocks. Not sure about the fireworms thought. The fish and Hermits are all accounted for. I will wait it out, sounds...
Ok. Here's an update. This morning I awoke to a .50 Amonia reading. 8O Did a 20% water change and brought it back to .25ish. :evil: Went to the same LFS today, Sunday. I told them of my odd amonia spike. He guessed the cause was a Chemical indroduced to the system. Such as: Antibacterial Soap...
