What kind of fish are those! Nice setup!

[DaChrisDude]

Purple ones wit yellow face are Pygmy Cherub Angels. I've heard you can have pairs of them but never actually seen it done - that's so very cool.

Yeah as chris said their pygmy angels, I got them as a pair from SDguy (peter) I wanted to put some SPS in there but after i got the angels i have to stick to softies... SDguy sold them cause they were eating his SPS but im just looking for more color... zoos or rics maybe?...seems like brown is my coral theme :p

Those angels are so cool! Nice tank. Way to get the most out of a ten gallon tank.

[reeferPLEASE]

what other type pygmy angels can be kept in a nano reef environment?

[SECTER1]

Very nice

[aznshyguycv]

pretty much any lol... but nano being around 30 gallons would be the best enviro for them

nice setup JB, can't wait to see those nice corals you got on your new tank.

How do you fit 100W of T5 over a 10gal? Do they have individual reflectors? :confused:

Its one single fixture made by Current USA 24" 4 x 25w 2 actinics and 2 10,000k.. It hangs off the sides some... ghetto rigged... i never ment to keep the tank up for more then maybe 6 months.. but i was lazy.. im gonna be upgrading the tank to a 29 as soon as i finish building the stand

My angels are healthy and they love that tank... the male and the female just mated for the first time today... so i guess their a mated pair now... the male was flashing and looked nearly white in the actinics... this is the first time i ever witnessed this happen... i was doing some reasearch and i found out that the eggs float to the top of the water ... but the fry are all prolly gonna get skimmed out or eaten by my pair of green chromis... :(

It was very interesting to see the male flash like that... i have some video of it below..

Hmmm, not sure how I missed this thread before....

Glad to hear the angels are doing so well for you! I was bummed I had to get rid of them.
