patrick1234 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Wow that is nice but 2 me it all looks like base rock did you add any live rock to seed with Link to comment
smarcus3 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 It looks more white than it was in real life. It must have been quite living becuase the tank has never had any measurable reading of any toxin (nitrite, nitrates, etc.) Link to comment
smarcus3 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Also I used a sponge from my 12G to seed the 120 Link to comment
irogers Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 looks good. what are you going to put in it? Link to comment
smarcus3 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 thanks guys. im going to be putting in the following blue hippo tang yellow tang clowfish w/ anemone to host fox face ??? lion fish ??? coral banded shrimp and other stuff im not sure of. Link to comment
38gal Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Looks good thus far. I really like the cave with the aquascape. Link to comment
smarcus3 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 thanks I spent a long time creating it. Link to comment
smarcus3 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 everything is still testing zero which is great. I will most likely get a yellow tang tomorrow for the tank. I cant wait. Link to comment
spanko Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Just a suggestion, don't put the yellow tang in first. It will setup and think the tank is his and will harass anything new you put in. I also believe the Lion will eat the shrimp. Link to comment

I also believe the Lion will eat the shrimp. okay. i heard the yellow tangs can be bullies. should i go with the blue hippo tang. also i will most likely not get the lion as i dont want to pay for his predatory nature.

spanko Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Always a safe bet to go least aggressive first most aggressive last, so with your list scrapping the lion I would go; clowfish w/ anemone to host (anemone down the road 6 months or so) fox face blue hippo tang yellow tang The coral banded anytime (do read up on these and their aggressive natures also) JMO FWIW let's see what others say.

smarcus3 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 yeah. the list was in a generic order just kinda how i remembered them. the clown is going to go in with the anemone in at least 6 months down the road. Link to comment
smarcus3 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 i just added two more korelia 4's to the tank to get all the flow I need. I currently have 4-korelia 4's and 4-korelia 1s. Its looking good. I can't wait to get some corals in it. Link to comment
smarcus3 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Just added a new fox face to the tank who is doing great as well as 2 emerald crabs. Here are a few pics: Link to comment
smarcus3 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 the new fox face is doing great and eating tons of algae in the tan as well as on the seaweed clip. However one of the blue yellow tail damsels is hiding in the top right corner away from all the others Link to comment
smarcus3 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 the one fish is still hiding but eating. I got two false percs today and the fox face Link to comment
