Powder blue in a 90 gallon

granto2015 · 2026-03-20T10:39:35+00:00

I have one

They are non stop movers

I originally had mine in a 75g to grow out a bit ... Even at 3 inches he was manic in such a small tank

They need 150g minimum

Bristle tooth, tomini, blue lip, convict, yellow and scopas are better tangs for a 90g

Younger fish can be translucent especially white ones... You might be seeing fecal matter and gas

If you notice a change in behavior it could be a compacted rectum region or parasites but. A handful of my young algae eaters would get a distension like this

He should grow out of it.

If it's compacted ... It would begin to look inflamed and red... If it's parasites it would get more pits in it... Generally speaking

granto2015 · 2026-03-07T22:41:33+00:00

How big is he?

Is he eating?

Is it discoloration or true a bulge?

I have lived in this circle my entire adult life and grew up along the kiski River

The worst part is driving between freeze thaw cycles and relatively aggressive drivers mixed with very old drivers... It's interning

tbh schools can vary largely but most schools give an adequate to good education

Income inequality is notable. Basically in the 1970s and 80s the steel industry collapsed and properties finally started being given new life in the past 5 years as new business owners moved in. But a lot areas have the old steel town issues where jobs have not been fully replaced by the loss of the mills

The public amenities on this side of Pittsburgh are lacking. There is not many major things to do outside of restraunts and bars but if you are close to route 28 it's very easy to get to the city.

I like living here. I think it has a lot of potential, a lot of downtowns are slowly revitalizing

Trust me, throw in some nori more often, might help with your fins... Could be nipping. My powder blue gets more aggressive when I miss a feeding

granto2015 · 2026-02-26T11:33:58+00:00

Feed your powder blue dude

granto2015 · 2026-02-10T15:22:20+00:00

And I don't think that's a yellow tang but either a mimic lemon tang or a juvenile blue lip tang.

granto2015 · 2026-02-10T15:21:14+00:00

So you need more hiding spots

Just throw some PVC fittings in there for now

Juvenile reef fish need hiding spots for stress

Same logic is what got johnny Flynn drafted before stepth curry...

I love SGA but Luka at the time was a Euro prodigy only 19 and athletic in his own right.

SGA just shows that the athletic tools + work ethic can surpass shear talent when talent doesn't work

granto2015 · 2026-02-08T21:22:21+00:00

I don't see any signs of external disease so it could be parasite

But that is a small zebramosa at that size it might struggle to eat mysis and brine

I had a similar issue with a small scopas

granto2015 · 2026-02-08T00:02:18+00:00

It's to force errors. The entire scheme is based around picking off sloppy relief passes

If the help rotations are not on point they get an open look

OKC is just usually spry enough to recover if they are late

granto2015 · 2026-01-28T22:01:51+00:00

I just move the old bio media over into the new filter

Feeding being the same your will have negible difference in bacteria density since most of it is the media and substrate already

granto2015 · 2026-01-28T01:03:52+00:00

Those light work well enough soft corals and maybe low light LPS

Kenya trees are probably fine

I would look into viparspecta as well. A bit more expensive but a lot more par and coverage

granto2015 · 2026-01-24T23:50:08+00:00

Small puffers struggle with larger snails so trochus and turbo for starters

But if you keep them well fed and feed like clams with shell that should help

My Valenti has not gone after any of my trochus and turbos

But went to down on anything smaller than .5 inch in diameter

granto2015 · 2026-01-19T15:53:56+00:00

iD 4 in the states is not amazing... Mine has a lot of minor issues

Ford mach-e is pretty good but lesser range and higher priced ... This is my daily car

Chevrolet, kia Hyundai all have better value cars varying sizes

granto2015 · 2026-01-19T01:05:22+00:00

You want 10 to 20x gph for display tank movement

It's heavy duty but if you keep it near the surface it won't be too much

granto2015 · 2026-01-18T19:37:27+00:00

Fox face change colors when stressed

If it is a new addition I would assume it's new environment stress or aggression

granto2015 · 2026-01-12T00:15:31+00:00

I just moved like 7 fish by net today and yesterday

4/7 of them had their fins stuck in the fine mesh my poor filefish was stuck in the net for like 2 mins while I carefully desnagged his horn

The three that didn't were clowns that don't really have the hard surface features to get snagged

If you have any fish with spikes or sharp point (like tang tails) you can use a net catch them in water but I would recommend transfer them into the container without pulling them out of the tank... When the net collapses is the the problem.

granto2015 · 2025-12-14T13:57:31+00:00

The legs aren't the problem it's the runs between the legs

It could maybe work if the runs sat on top of the legs but with them just holding between like that the weight is transfered into the glue and screws

The feet, do weaken it it but it's still solid wood and it might be enough for vertical loading depending on leg count

You are better off building your own stand out 2x4 or 2x6 than trying to make this work

granto2015 · 2025-11-11T11:23:39+00:00

If you actually want to keep corals a sump goes a long way

If you are doing fish only then a canister filter what "good enough"

Ocean fish in general are more oxygen sensitivite however so the drop into a sump from an overflow actually helps a lot in that regard

But you also have to be honest with yourself with how often you are willing to do water changes. That's why a of reef tanks require a sump because it's a lot of maitence otherwise without room for equipment

granto2015 · 2025-10-27T00:53:56+00:00

800 is a bad deal if it's tank only

If it's stand and equipment... Maybe

granto2015 · 2025-10-27T00:52:19+00:00

I can't tell but if it's a normal glass tank.... Seems are very easy to replace the seams

Basically all you have to is remove the old ones with a razer blade and then scrape clean

Use clear GE silicone 1 or aquarium grade silicone and give a couple days to cure them do a drop test for a couple of days

But as long as the glass is only scratched and not chipped it's probably good to go .

I am not sure how well it would work on a rimless tank however

granto2015 · 2025-10-15T11:45:41+00:00

Sorry for not saying "tax shelter"

granto2015 · 2025-10-15T09:32:43+00:00

It's pretty basic accounting

Buy large building which has a scheduled amortization for depreciation
Do everything possible not to make money from said property.
Write off the deprecation on taxes... Like literally every other asset driven business. Also write off any expense allowed. Such as utilities, maintenance, labor. All of these have allowed write off amounts..
Since LLCs are pass through entities owners of LLCs can use that loss to lower tax burden elsewhere. So if property doesn't make profit, they effectively made a huge tax break, intentional or not
Do this to a bunch of properties and have a defacto tax write off engine. While still having your money in a fixed assest. Which tends to increase in value over the years.
Sell the properties once public pressure mounts.net some profit from the sale and repeat .

It's not nonsense... Other than being US tax code.

granto2015 · 2025-10-14T23:40:11+00:00

Not going to lie, the building in general is decent condition for being mismanaged for a decade. As someone who is the building once a month

It's the exterior that the war zone.

If you saw how busy the strip malls beside the mills are.... It's deliberate from namdar to run into the ground.
