FiReBrEaThInGCuTtLeFiSh!XD Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I've been keeping fish for a while on & off since I was a kid. I've done FW&BW but this will be my first SW and I'm excited beyond the point for words to explain. Tank: AGA 45G light oak trim w/ mirrored back Eq.: 2X 50w Hydor heaters 2X Korylia 3 powerheads glass canopy Digital Thermometer(w/ alert for when temp alarm for when it gets to hot/cold) Details: apx 50 lbs. "Premo" Fiji LR apx 45-50 lbs black LS I finally got my rockscaping to where I really like it yesterday. Link to comment
FiReBrEaThInGCuTtLeFiSh!XD Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 anyone with input on the rockscape? Link to comment
ap123 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Very nice. I found it a little tricky to aquascape my 45 because of the high but narrow dimensions. I love the bridges/pass throughs you built with the rock, I did something similar. Good luck! Link to comment
FiReBrEaThInGCuTtLeFiSh!XD Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks ap123. the aquascape was actually somewhat easy since the water was still a bit murky when I first through all the rock in and it landed similar to this. I just went in and tinkeres with it tille I got it like this. Getting in there was a b#### due to its dimensions (as well as the hieght of the stand i still need to figure out how to get the cave on the left side to have more "depth appearence to it as well as some actual more room, when I get back from work, im thinking of digging out some sand from it & redistributing it throught the tank Link to comment
ap123 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 LOL, my step stool is never far from the tank--otherwise I can't reach the lower half. You can check my thread (link is my sig) for ideas if you like. What kind of lighting do you have? Link to comment
FiReBrEaThInGCuTtLeFiSh!XD Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 I haven't gotten a light yet. not enoguh funds & im having trouble finding a MH fixture(was origionally gonna get a Sunpod but they don't make em anymore ) Link to comment

SpankythePyro Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 It kinda reminds me of stonehenge, or of easter island with the big stone heads. I like it! Link to comment
FiReBrEaThInGCuTtLeFiSh!XD Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 thanks. if I had a large enough cube & rock I'd try to create it. This was the best arches i could come make with the rock I had, but I like it so its all good:P Link to comment

Jacobnano Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Less talking more picture taking. So the chalice arrived OK I assume? Did you order your stuff from LA yet? Link to comment
FiReBrEaThInGCuTtLeFiSh!XD Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Less talking more picture taking. So the chalice arrived OK I assume? Did you order your stuff from LA yet? not yet. I'm waiting to see whether or not my LFS gets the clingfish I ordered. I'd rather not overdue the bioload and crash the tank... If they haven't gotten it I'm gonna tell them to put that on hold and the get the perchlet and a colony. still haven't decided which one yet. hopefully the purps and reds will be on sale . Although their huge insane mix of like 5 dif. polyps was also very tempting but soldcrazy mix So instead of having a chalk bass kill all my inverst, I've been thinking about maybe a candy hogfish I wish my brackish water waspfish looled this cool waspfish Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Candy hogfish is neat, colorful. You could get some sort of wrasse too, just an idea. Well pic something good for the colony lol, bright colors. Another member has that exact waspfish, its in their "predator tank" its an amazing fish by the way. I forgot about the clingfish, they will eat normal food right? Link to comment
FiReBrEaThInGCuTtLeFiSh!XD Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Candy hogfish is neat, colorful. You could get some sort of wrasse too, just an idea. yeah, I'd like a pair of Mckosers Flasher Wrasse or a Zebra barred dartfish. (either way I'll have at leas one of each) I forgot about the clingfish, they will eat normal food right? As a carnivore, the Yellow Stripe Clingfish will thrive on a diet of meaty foods such as finely chopped fresh or frozen marine fish, squid, mysis shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, and frozen carnivore preparations.

Jacobnano Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Cool, I like flasher wrasse. I thought I read that somewhere, just wanted to make sure. So when do you think you are going to be making that order? Link to comment
FiReBrEaThInGCuTtLeFiSh!XD Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 tomorrow or thursday. also getting some sort of tube worm tomorrow at my lfs. will be either temp. or permanent resident of the 10 Link to comment
FiReBrEaThInGCuTtLeFiSh!XD Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 so my frag tank thread was savable but it took me so long to navigate it that it had dissapeared *sighs* I'll be reposting it soon. Link to comment
