Recommended Posts

after 1 year of interruption, i am back to the hobby. I have decided to use my 30g tank as the sump (soon to be refugium). I got a new 37g tank. So i will have a total water volume of 67g (minus the sand and rocks). I will post picture tonight of the new tank.. it is still recycling. hopefully you guys can give me some inputs. thanks in advance :D

Yikes,fish in a tank that's cycling... what kind of scats are those? Pretty neat looking.

 

ruby scat.. usually in the fresh water section at your LFS

Aren't scats supposed to get pretty big? Like 12 inches or so?

well i had to move to the new place. i used the term cycling but its just the new water. rocks are at least 1.5 year old. got live sand. so yeah!

it'll take a while to get to that size. i'd say for my size, they get to 6 - 7 inches max

got a pair of semi-naked clowns today :) they are so cute... pics coming soon!

 

ps: they were in separate tanks at the store. but they look like twins so i got them. and already, they are "grinding" each other in the tank :)

Wee Woo Wee Woo TANG POLICE

TangPolice.jpg

You're being arrested for having 2 tangs in a 37g tank...

Happy?

Lol, but really that tank is pretty small for the kole. Maybe a small yellow tang, but not those 2

im upgrading to either a 90g or 120g in august .. but yeah welcome the tang police :)

Ok lol, you could have mentioned that. Or did I over look it? O well.

the upgrade should come faster if I didn't decide to move in august.. and also because i don't have a truck to haul my new tank home. I didn't purchase it yet but it's going to be 48x24x18 with starphire on 3 sides :) anyone has a truck in so cal, give me a holler :)
