Sounds sweet. Loking forward to the masked gobies. A group that size is a rarity here. I've been looking to do school of barnacle blennies for years but no-one carries them.

Lanimoo? lol.... are you calling me a cow?


Barnacle blennies are really cool. I tried 3 masked gobies in mom's tank, but I suppose it might have been a bit small of a tank and a group so there was a lot of aggression, mostly from one bully. Anyways, I'm getting them from Sealife again. Hopefully a larger group and more space will make for a better recipe.

I have still given up reading this thread and just look at the pictures

Great FTS/room shot. Love the porcelain shot too!

if he doesnt...

oh oh.. i can see the ban stick lol

Got milk?

OMG!!!

Just had time to catch up on this thread! I have been away from Nano-Reef for too long!!! Tank looks AWESOMEEEE!!!! So glad to hear the Mandy is finally eating forzen too! Did you use the breeder net as per Mr. T's advice? Has she tried Rod's yet? He says his LOVES it...nom nom nom!

Ohhhh and your kittehs!!!! I want to rub their bellehs!

Haha, thanks for stopping by!


Hey girlie, haven't seen ya in a while! Nah, I didn't use the breeder net trick.. just kept putting the food in the same spot every day and she eventually became hungry enough to eat. Now when I turn the pumps off, she goes straight to that corner and waits for the food... cutie. She eats a mixture of Rod's and Arctipods.
The kitties are SPOILED, lol.

i ur kittehs almost as much as i my "big boned" cat

Just come here to drool

Do you stir your sand bed at all? I want mine that clean

That's a pretty slick lookin' setup you've got there, ma'am

Heh, that is brand spankin' new sand.


Thank you, sir.

can you post a pic of your ac110 converted into a fuge? thanks

Hrm.... the only pics I have of it are from two years ago when I did the mod for my first reef tank.... Lemme dig them up......


Here:

Hey Lalani, I finally got around to checking for your new 40b thread and I find I'm already 21pages late. Vortech looks like its doing well by you. The tank looks fantastic.

10,000 views.

Holy cow, that's the first time I've been called sir since being questioned by police! I... I don't quite know how to take it.


What's the flow from the AC fuge like? I'm considering getting one for my 20H quarantine that'll stay cycled in my sump...

That AC fuge looks awesome.

Looks outstanding Lani. I can't wait to start my 40B. I just gotta move into the new humble abode first. The 40B has such a cool footprint. Lots of real-estate to work with which is cool. Good work.

****EDIT**** hahaha. I'm reply 420. lol

thanks for posting the pic

Wuts going on in here?

The vortech is doing great! Thanks again.





Haha, didn't mean to scare you!
The flow from the AC110 fuge is pretty good, not sure of the numbers exactly. I had it running on my 20H reef tank and it was enough flow all by itself.


Thanks.


Sweet, I love the size of this tank and I know you will too!


np


I dunno.. what's up with you?

I just thought you would find it interesting. Sorry.

Haha, I was just joking.

no wayz! ...sides you got a gun.









...now mud rasslin', mebe...

Ain't nothin' gon' scare me, I'm Eduardo St. Cool teehee. I've tossing up between the AC70 and the AC110 because of the price difference here (basically, 2x AC70 = 1 AC110), but it's really good to hear that the single unit is enough to provide the flow needed. I guess that'll help when quarantining some higher-flow frags for the surge reef...

Yeah, the AC110 is pricey, but luckily I bought mine for relatively cheap before they bumped the price higher. How many tanks do you have?



Oh and what do you guys think about putting a wee little clam in this tank..... eventually?

I think you should put a clam in there. What do you have in mind?

*insert seksual innuendo here

idk... a purdy one.

Mandarin is now in the tank. She was surprisingly easy to catch in the 15gal.. I carried her half way across the house in the net, plopped her into the 40gal. and she swam down to the back right corner. I squirted some arctipods in that corner and she started munching away.... so fingers crossed.





Oh, and Fred is having a baby:



The baby can barely be seen next to him, on the left:

double post

nevermind

Lani, the tank looks great! Glad the mandy is doing good!

I think I may be getting some mini nems of my own at the local frag swap sunday!!!

Teehee


Thanks!
And coolies, they are hard to come by. Hope you get some of them!

Look at that Mandy!!!

icwhatudidthere








I think.

Mandy is goergeousnesss. Great pics as always.

BTW Lani, gettin a little clam is never a bad thing.


ALICIA!!!!!!

^ PUFFIN!!!

Hey girly!


Y'know Richie, you always make me smile/laugh.

Me too, but some jerk replied in his thread after me and said "I'll take it all, and I'm nearby so I can pick up"

I best be first in line for those nems.

* tips hat*

Thanks I'll be here all week.

and didja see? dat was an Alicia sighting!

If it comes down to it I may just get two AC70s and run them at different ends of the tank with different stuff in each (macro 'fuge or possible macro/DSB combo one end, purigen and LR rubble the other), I guess that'd allow me to have two pre-cycled QT tanks if I really desperately needed anyway. As for how many tanks I have.. right now I've got 0 salt after I tore down my 20H after a massive crash when I left it in my brother's ex-girlfriend's care for a few days because I was in hospital... the most angering part is I had an Elegance I got for pretty cheap that was growing beautifully and had the most gorgeous colouration, and a beautiful Clarkii clown.. yeah, I was devastated I do maintain 3 FW tanks right now though - 20H blackwater planted, 100g Barramundi species tank, and a 55g South American cichlid species tank. Soon to add a 36g planted, and a 75g GBR biotope reef to the mix


And yes. Put a clam in. ALL CLAMS ALL THE TIME.

Geez, sounds like a lot of maintanence.


Guess I'll have to start looking for lil clams.

You damn people's and yor 40brs. It's people like you that make me go out and buy a 40br just so I can has more stuff. Seriosly though your tanks rock, your pictures rule, as always. And as for your creature question I would say clam away.

I would love to see some pics. How big are the barras 100g must just be a transition tank right?

Just the one Barra in there at the moment, shortly will hopefully be getting donated to Underwater World. He's getting too much and keeps freaking out, so the 55 will be torn down and its inhabitants moved into the 100. The rest aren't too interesting right now, all just in a transition phase Few months from now though, hopefully that'll be a different story..

And when do we get to see these tanks, good sir?

When I can be bothered actually making them presentable Right now they're really just set up as growout tanks more than anything, nothing really worth seeing. I'll be tearing them down and moving them around in about a month... THEN is when the fun starts


EDIT; Okay, so you talked me into it and because I'm cool I've got two shots from when I had to take specimen shots for Underwater World of the Barra...





Those were about 3 weeks ago, since then he's grown another 2-3" or so...



Ignore the gravel, I've had it since I first got the tank which was maybe 3 years ago and I've never bothered to change it. It's pretty amazing how well it makes the system work though. That shot was about 8 weeks ago now. Can't find any other shots I've got of anything else so instead, here, have some of the OTHER things I get to look at!





Sunset out my window in January

Clams FTW! Great shots as always Lani!
