Looks nice, but you need to work on slimming those fish down! Plus the hippo needs to be in a much larger tank.

I know you guys will see that my background is a mess-up, that was one of my big mistakes that I did not paint the back of the tank, well it doesn’t really bother me, but is dose bother my wife, so she will paint it:D

 

[little_fish]

Wow, you have a very nice wife!

 

[Ariel110G]

Thanks

 

[chuysvt]

[Ariel110G]

I Know but I think its to late to do that no? how will I move the tank, or get to the back to paint?

No way! How much larger can you get than 110g! I have read that 70g is the minimum I dont think that they are overstocked that is a big ass tank.

Well the hippo that i got for free was in a 36g tall,or it was a 29g tall, i dont remember, but im sure is alot more happey now, so i think ke is ok in the 110g

They typically need 125 gallons and 6'. You're tank's 4', right?

Well, lets see you can get 125, 150, 180, 225 etc. Tanks get much much bigger than the 110s and most importantly they are 6 feet or longer.

They have 14 fish in those 110 gallons. I would say they should only have 11 fish. Now, you and i both know that overstocking is ok in some cases, like when the tank is matured and the owner is very knowledgeable and experienced. Would i consider these people or their tank either of those things, no. Can they become this in the future, yes.

Also, no, that is not the published recommendation for hippos. People desperately wish it was so, but its not.
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Blue Tang

Places that say otherwise IMO are just trying to sell more product because everyone wants a dori and nemo and its their win if buy a ton of them.

You might be able to keep a little one in a smaller tank for a period of time, but not a large one like they say they have.

Wow. Shows me from ever putting a picture of my tank and livestock up here.

Youre tank looks good and thanks for sharing it with us! I painted the back of mine and am glad I did, it showcases the fish and live rock more :)

Just go to any plastics retail place such as TAP Plastics, and buy a sheet of black acrylic. You should be able to get it hung on the back without issue.

 

[Ariel110G]

Yes it is a 4'

This is for little fish

Don’t get me wrong, little fish I agree with everything you said, as a beginner I have done my share of mistakes with this tank, but this what I got now & this is where I am now, I am planning on making my 29g freshwater into saltwater so I can get 2 percula clownfish out of the 110G & my clarkii clownfish I want to give him to someone or to my LFS because he is not nice to the other clownfish & it’s hard to catch him. I’m just wating for the right time to do so.
So this is my plan: :grumble: my wife is going out of the cuntrey next week for a month!!! with the kids!!!:bounce: so that’s when I’m planning to do it all & I’m going to build a 40g sump for the 110g, & in a year or 2 I will get a 150g or 180g.
