90 Gallon Build - Here We Go!

That is too cool!!!! I can't wait to see those beauties in there !

 

Oh, me neither!! How long do you think I need to wait before adding angels? I've heard differing opinions.

 

How big are they? As long as your tank has cycled and you have enough live rock to support them, you could probably add them a month or two after it cycles. You just don't want to add them right away and shock your system. But then it depends on how big they are lol.

 

They were pretty big...4 inches maybe (w/o tail).

 

Ya, those are not babies... I would probably wait 2 months before adding them honestly. But that's being on the safe side. If/when you do add them your going to want to wait before adding another fish for quite some time, maybe 2 or 3 weeks for your bacteria to catch up. But then again, that is also being on the safe side.

Did they say they were OK to add in a 90 gallon?

 

I myself will wait foir a couple of months... first the Chromis and then we'll see how it goes.... patience, patience patience....

 

yeah - they were definitely not babies! Haha. But I feel like even though I usually prefer babies, these fish are healthy and eating well...totally adjusted to aquarium life...so that's a good thing. They are expensive - I want them eating!

I was planning on waiting at least 3 months. So that's good, we aren't too off base with each other. And I usually wait at least a month in between getting fish because I'm paranoid.

He said they are okay in a 90 gallon, but will probably need a bigger tank in the future. Eventually, 100-120 is optimal. Which is a-okay with me - because I plan on upgrading in a couple years!

 

have you seen how fast GoToSleep added his fish.. it was about a week.. get some LR, cycle it, and get the fish in 2 weeks.. Call me ancy, this is going to haunt me.

 

I congratulate you on your patience KC!!! Just like me.... just waiting for another week... will be traveling anyway and when I get back, I will get my first Chromis... can't wait!!!!!!! Tank has been cycling for over 5 weeks now... that should be sufficient and all water parameters are perfect!

 

so it sounds like he will hold them for you
