Been waiting on this one man, congratulations getting here. The patience you've shown in this series is one of the few things keeping me from rushing my own setup
cycled for 2 months before adding any fish.. bacteria doesn't take long to catch up but the 40 gal water change certainly helped dilute any mini cycle that could have occurred..
I really love your approach to reefing. You're also super chill and avoid that pretentious attitude that most reefers have on TH-cam. Keep up the good work, man. Subscribed!
Phillip Tennell yessir! Glad I tried it for myself can't beat a $11 screen top haha .. can't wait to add more fish in a couple weeks.. things are going very well indeed!
CJ thank you for being informative. Looking forward to the rest your journey with this 123 G tank. Watching on youtube has made me fall in love with my tank once again. Thanks.
Tank looks great, beautiful fish. It was smart to add all the tangs at the same time. They brown and blue tang will always fight but I don't think they will kill each other.
If I ever got a tang it would be a powder brown - I think the colours are stunning. The tank is looking wonderful with the movement of the fish! Great job on the lid, it looks sleek and clean. Another excellent video!
if i had to choose it would be a hard choice thats for sure! I never intended on getting ether one but they were too pretty to pass up haha... this story is far from over tho.. to be continued..
🤣 I love it - Rule #2 of Reefing out the window with impulse fish purchases! If anyone can make it work, you can. Your scape offers lots of territories, plus they can escape from each other. I hope you end up being successful keeping both!
Wow, you're not messing around! I have three Tangs in my 90. It can work, but they are all different species of Tang. As you know, I have had them all for at least 2 years. I will NEVER be able to add any more fish, but with a 90 gallon, I have enough fish. Anyway, your tank is awesome!
Wesley Forbes II wasn't the plan honestly walked into the LFS and all of these beautiful fish were there and he gave me a hell of a deal... can't predict the future but I've never been the one to not push the envelope haha
get a radiant wrasse! one of my favorite. the movement in this tank will be insane to watch when it is filled. it will look like a reef in the ocean man. well done.
Love your new tank especially the aquascape. I tried quarantine with my new tank and every fish just died. I now have 7 small fish in the DT and everyone is happy. Corals are happy too. I can't wait to see your mature. Keep up the great work!
hi mate love your video my tank is 130 gallon 4 weeks old got 11 fish at the minute I did my two big tangs at the end giving it a few weeks now till level itself out so doing the same as you mate nice to see all yours turns out take care good looking forward to your next video
Rockscape looks great. And your idea with more than one Angel is the same thing I'm contemplating. I want 2 in my 90. Just trying to decide which one would be compatible with a flame
Hi. Great video, thanks! Question, I'm new to reef keeping & still in planning stages. Its easy for me to be Monday morning quarterback- With a new tank after nitrogen cycle is completed then you dealt with both brown diatoms & hair algae.. What if you had 3 leds going strong on your algae scrubber, maybe have 2 algae scrubbers & raised lights or cut back on photo periods since you didn't have any corals or fish at that time. Maybe add Phosguard to a reactor or a pad to sump? I guess my question is could you have avoided getting major diatoms & brown algae from the start? Maybe one can't, that's what I'm curious to learn about.
no avoiding diatoms in my experience .. i could have avoided hair algae by curing rock outside the tank with heavy water change regime and gfo in that container..... scrubber wouldnt have made the diff even if i had 2-3 of them.. needed more export during the curing phase
CJ'S AQUARIUMS thanks 4 quick reply, didn't think so but asking couldn't hurt. Anything you would've done differently on this build now that its been up & running a some time? When's the next major build? LOL
Glad to see some tangs in your tank and you did the best thing by adding them at the same time and your powder blue going to be the most aggressive tang in your tank I had a powder brown and blues before powder brown is going to get beat up by your powder blue it anything was to go wrong but they should settle in nicely but I say the powder blue is is going to be or is all ready the Alfa of the tank I love tangs I just got a new tangs myself for my b-day lol a mustard tang bringing him him in a week he is in qt at my trusted lfs I don't qt my fish I don't see a point to add more stress and plus my lfs takes really good care of their fish they are all properly treated and eating well and in great health, love your new tank CJ can't wait to see your new dwarf angels you end up getting
CJ are you going to seed the tank with pods (copepods and amphipods) like the ones offered by Algagen to help feed the future fish on your "possible" stock list
Eldridge Henry, II yes I'll be seeding the tank heavily Multiple times over the next few months. Pods are like anything else... more food supply the more hey multiply
Nice update. To be honddst I have been reefing since 99 and not once have i quarantined. I have had ich in my tank but it never wiped out everything. I do exactly what you do know what your looking for and stay away from impulse purchases... when possible. Idk about the powder tangs it can work I've seen it but the two you have might be too close in size. Good luck.
Arrick L yea I'll be making a decision very soon so much chasing I'm getting tired just watching them hahha... oh well glad I have a sump to put the brown in till I can return it
I have a problem waiting as I'm going to macna this year looking to find a new custom tank and I'm gonna have to put my purple and yellow tank in together they at least see each other as their tanks are side by side. If you do trade it I put my vote for a magnificent foxface they look good and are different shape so will limit aggression
hey CJ, love the channel. Have been a subscriber for a long time now. I used to have multiple tangs inside my aquarium. I think you might need to add a few more caves for them to sleep in otherwise they will become territorial throughout the night. tanks looking great and i love how u set up your rock work too.
when I seen this video in recommended I thought "oh cool an SCA 120" I've been shopping for a tank and SCA is one I've checked out. I click it, it's 14 minutes. I think "wtf that's excessive" I was wrong. I watched it all and was entertained the whole time. I love the rock work, I love the fish, I mean 4 tangs in a 120 seems crazy IMO but time will tell. Love your plumbing. Loved watching the powder tangs chase each other the whole time lol. Hopefully they work it out. Good job so far.
power blue and brown?!? you brave bruh but I like it!!! Tangs and wrasses is my bread and butter. All great tanks take risks and do it their way in the end. Keep it up!
Damn CJ. You really are the new and improved New York Steelo! You always outdo yourself with all the videos man. Great stuff, great Video quality, great education, great start for livestock, great Great GREAT! You definitely keep doing what you do! Always a fan man. One day I swear I will have a Tank just like yours. But my 35g Cube is good for now. hahaha High 5! Mel
I had left over mesh from my BRS kit on the JBJ.. but you can find bird netting at homedepot that works.. or on amazon here: www.amazon.com/Clear-Mesh-Netting/dp/B00OABXY9O/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=cjsaquariums-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=26d20d654a3e57805c95682385374cfe&creativeASIN=B00OABXY9O
Nice vid, I see alittle gha, I still some after 4 months with the pukani, but its getting better, luv the powder brown tang, ur correct, buy from a good place no need for a quarantine tank, honestly tangs get ich the most, if urs are good ur set!
Damn CJ this tank is awesome. Really like the scape and the sump layout. You are going to cost me money....I have an awesome little purple tank in my tank now. My wife bought it for me. She doesn't know anything about tang police lol. I will have to re-home him in a year or so but it is fat and happy now.
Screen top looks great! Solid plan sir, QT can be a good or bad thing. I've heard of either being beneficial. Some people who swore by the QT process no longer QT. In this hobby whatever floats your boat and you have time to deal with!
Great Video. Wow!Did you have your fish store order and hold the fish for a few days for you, to ensure they survive and eat? I'm thinking of going that route. Does your store dose their tanks with a light copper dose? I know of one store here in San Antonio the doses its fish only tanks with a light dose of copper.
all fish are healthy and eating before I took them home.. I don't believe hes using cooper but he does keep them in semi- hypo salinity.. Ive always gotten healthy fish from my LFS so Ive never had to really worry..
I have heard that having even more than one dwarf angel there will be high aggression even in a bigger tank... But it doesn't hurt to try looking forward to see how your stock list evolves
Your tank is looking awesome CJ. as far as adding another dwarf angel I would definitely go with a Cherub angel they are so colorful and hardy as hell! I really want to add a flame Angel to my 45 jbj but I don't know how my cherub would react!
Amazing I really dig the looks of the mesh it couldn't look any better and you should get a diamond gobby they have a great personality and always hard at work when it comes to your sand bed on the 2 tanks that I had I had one keep the good work and videos coming you are the best my friend love your videos
Do you still not quarantine. I ad something wipe out all my fish but one. Crazy that one survived! It could have been a buildup of nopox though because I have a 46 gallon counting sump and rocks included. so its says 3 ml every 25 gallons and a few times I added6 so maybe a little overdosing being I dint account for rocks. i usually added 3 to 4 but it was for weeks and I dont think it usually takes weeks to get nitrates down to a low level but couldnt get below 10. After getting it down supposed to maintain with 1 to 2 ml. The reason I dont want o quarantine is because thinking I could loose fish from that! Like you said. Acclimation is ard enough on a fish but acclimating to an uncycled tank plus treatment is tough. The wierd thing is the first fish had microscopic dots on it. It took a microscope to see them though. Very faint dots, thats what confuses me. Anyway, just wondering if you have escaped anything wiping out your tank and if you still dont quarantine. I didnt realize that you could get it from corals and invertebrates. I am sure treting a coral would kill it! I watched a youtube form someone that said you can use only 2 medicines and you would never introduce velvet or ick or brook ar any of that stuff so If I did quarantine I would want to follow his method.
Alot to cover this update.. hope you all enjoy! be Sure to take the Poll on the top left.. be easy!
Nice additions, a bit of a gamble on the tangs but let's hope they get along.
AcuaTV will come down to choosing which powder to keep everyone else are model citizens
Been waiting on this one man, congratulations getting here. The patience you've shown in this series is one of the few things keeping me from rushing my own setup
hey CJ just a question but wont this amount of fish be to much for the bio to deal with initially?
cycled for 2 months before adding any fish.. bacteria doesn't take long to catch up but the 40 gal water change certainly helped dilute any mini cycle that could have occurred..
I really love your approach to reefing. You're also super chill and avoid that pretentious attitude that most reefers have on TH-cam. Keep up the good work, man. Subscribed!
So many nice Tangs in one place! I'm happy to see some life and color in your tank - Beautiful CJ! I hope they all become friends!
this tank just makes me say "wow", sooooooo much thought and accuracy is put into this. Good job!! and thats an understatement
Great vid CJ. Fish selection is fantastic! Definitely some beauties. The DIY screen top came out PERFECT. Looks like it's part of the tank. Nice work!
Phillip Tennell yessir! Glad I tried it for myself can't beat a $11 screen top haha .. can't wait to add more fish in a couple weeks.. things are going very well indeed!
Looking good CJ, and I have to admit to taking a liking in your Powder Brown. The colour contrasts of that Tang is absolutely stunning!
CJ thank you for being informative. Looking forward to the rest your journey with this 123 G tank. Watching on youtube has made me fall in love with my tank once again. Thanks.
Tank looks great, beautiful fish. It was smart to add all the tangs at the same time. They brown and blue tang will always fight but I don't think they will kill each other.
This is just a dream tank!!!! Those fishes are incredible!
The best blow by blow on reefing on the web bro. Totally invaluable: thanks for all the time and effort you put into these videos.
Wow bro, you got some beautiful tangs. Kole tang was one of my favorites in my old 75. Good move CJ.
All awesome fish! Smart move adding the tangs all at once.
If I ever got a tang it would be a powder brown - I think the colours are stunning. The tank is looking wonderful with the movement of the fish! Great job on the lid, it looks sleek and clean. Another excellent video!
if i had to choose it would be a hard choice thats for sure! I never intended on getting ether one but they were too pretty to pass up haha... this story is far from over tho.. to be continued..
🤣 I love it - Rule #2 of Reefing out the window with impulse fish purchases! If anyone can make it work, you can. Your scape offers lots of territories, plus they can escape from each other. I hope you end up being successful keeping both!
Nice scape with beautiful fishes.
Wow, you're not messing around! I have three Tangs in my 90. It can work, but they are all different species of Tang. As you know, I have had them all for at least 2 years. I will NEVER be able to add any more fish, but with a 90 gallon, I have enough fish. Anyway, your tank is awesome!
Wesley Forbes II wasn't the plan honestly walked into the LFS and all of these beautiful fish were there and he gave me a hell of a deal... can't predict the future but I've never been the one to not push the envelope haha
tank is looking beast cj.. the tangs sure like to chase each other around
Powder Blue is stunning. Always wanted one
Nice work cj, everything looks great! I love the tang selection. Keep the channel going, you are helping a lot of new reefers out there.
I'm liking the tangs. That brown and powder blue glow!
man cj your tank is going to live cant wait to see how it grows out
Nicely put together. Some nice choices on the stock list too. Moving forward CJ ... nice work ... its all paying off little by little.
yessir!
get a radiant wrasse! one of my favorite. the movement in this tank will be insane to watch when it is filled. it will look like a reef in the ocean man. well done.
just looked it up ill def add one of those if my lfs ever gets them in..
Your aquascape really shines now with fish in the tank. Are you alternating each gyre? Great pumps aren't they.
Love your new tank especially the aquascape. I tried quarantine with my new tank and every fish just died. I now have 7 small fish in the DT and everyone is happy. Corals are happy too. I can't wait to see your mature. Keep up the great work!
screen top trick is golden home depot secret, thanks for sharing!
man you have a beautiful system from plumbing to scape now to live stock cant wait to see this tank mature good luck with the tang
Tank looks awesome! I love the tangs, they look great. I've always been a big fan of the powder brown, nice choice.
MileHighReefers prob is they both are beautiful... I may have to remove one but how the hell could I choose hahaha
hi mate love your video my tank is 130 gallon 4 weeks old got 11 fish at the minute I did my two big tangs at the end giving it a few weeks now till level itself out so doing the same as you mate nice to see all yours turns out take care good looking forward to your next video
idk if you want your sand screwed up but pistol shrimp + watchman goby is always fun
Can't wait till this tank is stocked with coral. Interested in what youre going to be stocking it with.
hello mate
love your work. can you please explain the algae scrubbing system in detail. how to put it in a sump and make it work.
kind regards
i have a detailed video here : th-cam.com/video/IT3O_eBqjCY/w-d-xo.html
I'm a real fan of this channel!
Looks excellent brother, feel like I'm living again through you. Great that you do your homework
Rockscape looks great. And your idea with more than one Angel is the same thing I'm contemplating. I want 2 in my 90. Just trying to decide which one would be compatible with a flame
Man are those some beautiful fish. I love how their colors all compliment each other. Such beautiful swimmers as well. 👌🏼
Man the fish look great. I just added a blue eyed kole tang day before yesterday myself and that guy is doing great work in the tank
Tank looks great CJ! Nice choice on your first fish
Im waiting to see if those two powders get along or not...Beautiful tank so far.
Phelipe rocha they did not I removed the brown couple days ago now everything is fine
Awesome video a lot of great points and great fish
I just added 4 tangs to my system today! Hope yours do well!
oh and +1 subscriber =)
Loving the tangs. Is the powder blue still chasing the powder brown?
Los' World they go back a forth like twins brothers trying to show who's the Man 😂
Yo. What kinda screen do I get at lowes ! To make sure don't block light. All these years Never used screen before .
Love the selection of fish CJ! Can't wait to see what's next!
I really love the lights spectrum! What kind of lights are they?
Hi. Great video, thanks!

thanks for the update, love the two powders
Looks great CJ!!
Glad to see some tangs in your tank and you did the best thing by adding them at the same time and your powder blue going to be the most aggressive tang in your tank I had a powder brown and blues before powder brown is going to get beat up by your powder blue it anything was to go wrong but they should settle in nicely but I say the powder blue is is going to be or is all ready the Alfa of the tank I love tangs I just got a new tangs myself for my b-day lol a mustard tang bringing him him in a week he is in qt at my trusted lfs I don't qt my fish I don't see a point to add more stress and plus my lfs takes really good care of their fish they are all properly treated and eating well and in great health, love your new tank CJ can't wait to see your new dwarf angels you end up getting
Great vid man. What can you tell us about your rocks? Particular type? And how did you perch them so well? Adhesive?
Awesome video CJ and both the Powder tangs are dope! I'm excited to watch this tank mature! Nice work! 👍🏼
Good luck with the tangs. Tank look's great.
That is a sweet aquascape!!! Nice video man!
CJ are you going to seed the tank with pods (copepods and amphipods) like the ones offered by Algagen to help feed the future fish on your "possible" stock list
Eldridge Henry, II yes I'll be seeding the tank heavily Multiple times over the next few months. Pods are like anything else... more food supply the more hey multiply

may i ask why 'remove' the brown...? for me it looked like the 'blue' was the troublemaker.
the blue is prettier by far IMO
Great video. Beautiful tank.
How did those 2 powder tangs finally end up? It was pretty clear at the competition between the 2 of them for dominance.
Miguel Maya ended up removing the brown... all is nice and peaceful now 😂
hey CJ, love the channel. Have been a subscriber for a long time now. I used to have multiple tangs inside my aquarium. I think you might need to add a few more caves for them to sleep in otherwise they will become territorial throughout the night. tanks looking great and i love how u set up your rock work too.

Great fish selection. Try Phosphate Rx. I dose small amounts weekly and keeps my Phosphate at 0.
not that desperate yet.. still have to let the algae scrubber fully mature it will pull them down naturally ..
Looking really good! Very nice video quality too 👌
Damn CJ. You really are the new and improved New York Steelo!
You always outdo yourself with all the videos man. Great stuff, great Video quality, great education, great start for livestock, great Great GREAT!
You definitely keep doing what you do!
Always a fan man.
One day I swear I will have a Tank just like yours. But my 35g Cube is good for now. hahaha
High 5!
Mel
i like that screen top idea just went to home depot and bought that kit but what mesh did you use? i didnt see one like that just fine window screen
I had left over mesh from my BRS kit on the JBJ.. but you can find bird netting at homedepot that works.. or on amazon here: www.amazon.com/Clear-Mesh-Netting/dp/B00OABXY9O/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=cjsaquariums-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=26d20d654a3e57805c95682385374cfe&creativeASIN=B00OABXY9O
ah bird netting! thanks for the tip
Nice vid, I see alittle gha, I still some after 4 months with the pukani, but its getting better, luv the powder brown tang, ur correct, buy from a good place no need for a quarantine tank, honestly tangs get ich the most, if urs are good ur set!

Love to follow this series, great choices with the tangs 👌 powder blueand brown are king 🙌 keep up the good work!
Nice tangs! Brown and blue look nice and healthy. Filter floss tray is working well by the looks :D
good ideas, looking good too
Looking nice CJ 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Nice vid C. Happy to see some life in there. Keep it up
Screen top looks great! Solid plan sir, QT can be a good or bad thing. I've heard of either being beneficial. Some people who swore by the QT process no longer QT. In this hobby whatever floats your boat and you have time to deal with!
Hey CJ do you use a fish trap to catch your fish
never have ... ive always been able to catch them with a net..
Great Video. Wow!Did you have your fish store order and hold the fish for a few days for you, to ensure they survive and eat? I'm thinking of going that route. Does your store dose their tanks with a light copper dose? I know of one store here in San Antonio the doses its fish only tanks with a light dose of copper.
all fish are healthy and eating before I took them home.. I don't believe hes using cooper but he does keep them in semi- hypo salinity.. Ive always gotten healthy fish from my LFS so Ive never had to really worry..
Loving the tangs! Hope they work out for you.
!!great fish selection!!
I have heard that having even more than one dwarf angel there will be high aggression even in a bigger tank... But it doesn't hurt to try looking forward to see how your stock list evolves
Beautiful choice in livestock!! And an amazing video as always man.
Your tank is looking awesome CJ. as far as adding another dwarf angel I would definitely go with a Cherub angel they are so colorful and hardy as hell! I really want to add a flame Angel to my 45 jbj but I don't know how my cherub would react!
Amazing I really dig the looks of the mesh it couldn't look any better and you should get a diamond gobby they have a great personality and always hard at work when it comes to your sand bed on the 2 tanks that I had I had one keep the good work and videos coming you are the best my friend love your videos
I plan to add one for sure when the tank matures some more.. sand is lifeless at the moment..
What percent water change do you do
Tang crazy bro! Definitely my favorite family of fish
CJ quick question do you have any problems with your powder blue and powder Brown I have a pot of brown but always like the powder blue as well
yes just removed the brown last night.. check my latest video for more info..
CJ'S AQUARIUMS thanks will check more of you vid haven't got any notification will check my setting.
Really enjoying it, thank you!
How much have you spent at the moment
Maybe I missed it but what salt did you decide to change to?
stayed with Reef crystals
I'd think if you add your full fish stock before you put corals you've pretty much got a qt tank. great video look forward to seeing the progress
Really neat. I'm loving watching the progress of this tank. Flame angels are my favorite, but don't they have a rep for being hard on corals?
Hey cj I can't see the link for the screen top
Awesome tangs man I love mine
Eh CJ think it be wise to go to bi-weekly and monthly in a JBJ 45 over time too?
ether one could work depends on what your trying to accomplish.. thats not a simple answer..
True! an it will be a mixed reef but might be on the heavy side for fish load like yours was :p its hard to keep it low!
Couldn't have picked better fish imo. They are super vibrant.
man im telling you if fish had grades these were all A++ flawless specimens ...
awesome update cj👍 most likely those hermit crabs will kill the snails for the shells.. good luck 😉
My last reef got wiped out by velvet..... including my chevron tang. That was a sick feeling.
Hey how do you like the SCA Tank? I’m looking into them.
Dope budget tanks only think didn’t like was overflow. If you can get external go for it
Awesome vid. Keep on doing what you do
looking great, really like how the lid fit perfect.
Aquatica in Montreal?
Almost at 10k , keep up the good work CJ!!
Do you still not quarantine. I ad something wipe out all my fish but one. Crazy that one survived! It could have been a buildup of nopox though because I have a 46 gallon counting sump and rocks included. so its says 3 ml every 25 gallons and a few times I added6 so maybe a little overdosing being I dint account for rocks. i usually added 3 to 4 but it was for weeks and I dont think it usually takes weeks to get nitrates down to a low level but couldnt get below 10.
