New page, new pix.... (im on the 100 posts per page setting.)


So, these clowns are starting to adjust their behavior in a wierd way.
I'm pretty sure the female is preparing the nmale to be a REAL man....

Yesterday, as i was moving their hammers to their permanant spot, the Female forced the male to defend it by shoving him into my hand, and forcing him to fight me....
it was a "you fight him, or you fight me" kinda deal.

and im proud to say that he fought and bit me as much as he could....
Little showoff.... happy.gif

Ive actually seen an lfs by me do this to sell as show peices....
they will sting eachother, then avoid eachother... wink.gif

the green cap will grow over the purple (this has already started.), and the orang cap has already grown around everything thats a danger to it.

As for the Sunset Monti Vs. the Perple Cap., a clear winner seems to be prevailing.
I guess we'll see.

Haha, I'm only 25, so I started my first tank before I could even drive, lol. It's a good thing I remembered my user name and password, huh.

I'm going to be stealing so many ideas from your tank too. I know people mix Monti-Caps to get all sorts of weird results, but the encrusting mixed with cap and scrolling is really neat. I might have to splurge on some pokerstars or reverse sunset type morphs if I do biggrin.gif Also hoping if I get a clown he will host my single head of frogspawn/torch as well, lol.

So my monti is going asexual on me....

At first, i thot i had monti eating nudi's,
but after 3 nights of watching, and seeing nothing, im sure thats not the case...

but then, I read an article on how some sps can go asexual and drop "goo" that turns int frags.
I think that's what's happening here...







Cool shot....



Other than the "goo" the monti exhibits perfect health.



Sunset Monti is growin pretty well....



Blue Caulastrea...



mew
Nice idaho! I wish mine looked even half as nice.
I'm having trouble with my SPS sleep.gif Turning poo brown, from the high nitrates from temporarily housing NPS corals
Militant Jurist
That would be awesome if the goo turns into baby montis!

That macro of just the BCG, if I didn't know better, looks like one of the HUGE black groupers they have in the Caribbean, lol.

Your montis look very healthy, what is your maintenance schedule like? Do you feed your corals at all?

sho do shawty.... cool.gif

I spot-feed my LPS & Sun Corals one cube of "PE Mysis",thawed in a bowl of tank water, every 3 days...

I know that a whole cube every 3 days sounds like a lot, but my tank devours it in less than 5 minutes.
*Between 4 fish, 3 cannibal shrimps, and 2 crabs... it goes fast.

My filter feeders have all grown dramatically since i started this feeding schedule.
My only warning to you is this: I do HEAVY wc's....lik 2g's a week.

That's the ONLY reason i get away w/ feeding this much in this small of a space.
wink.gif


Ive been cutting back to feeding 1x a week lately, to help in eliminating cyano.
I dont think the cyano is from the heavy feedings, tho. (it only appeared after adding actinics)
I think its my OLD actinic bulb causing it....Im just cutting down its food supply.

friggin old bulb..... rant01.gif

I sure missed these pic updates while I was gone. Although I was out swimming in the original reef tank (aka the ocean lol). Your BCG is frickin sweet! I dont know what it is about these black fish that I like so much but I sure do like them alot. Those Incredible Hulk Lords are sweet too!
pismo_reefer
We missed ya Ope-dogg.... I can honestly say that....


Black fish are just rad. They are my absolute fav. color fish.
If mah gurl would let me, I'd have a NPS tank full of black fish..... biggrin.gif

Thats my dream "project"....

but, she needs a new truck first... dry.gif

EDIT: those 'Hulk Lords were $35 for 12 heads!!!! can you believe that?
gabe3eb
Pismo you have 4 fish in the tank right? I'm debating how many I will be able to put in my new 10g. I'm thinking a couple picasos and a ycg.

I saw a black fish inside one of those planted reef pots. It was huge and when I saw the teeth we decided to swim away promptly lol.

Easily Do-able....

-Add the pair of Clowns first...
-Then wait a month for tank equillibrium (sp?)
-Then add the goby....

thats what i did. I also watched my tests almost daily, and saw what the params do in reaction to fish.
thats why i suggest the pair, then a month of "settling"....
after that month w/ 2 fish in a 10g, the tank will be almost bulletproof, nitrate-wise....

if you want proof, my Nitrates are @ Zero ppm.... Always.

Thanks for the method there. What I might have to do (in order to take my larger tank down by x-mas) is move a damsel and the YCG into the 10g once it finishes its cycle. Then, when I get back from my vacation, find a new home for the damsel before I add the clownfish. Doubt there would be any issues with the YCG messing with new tank inhabitants. I could always just get rid of the YCG I have now and get a new one later too, but Buck has grown on me biggrin.gif lol.
pismo_reefer
The YCG wont bug Clownfish.... thats fa sho.

Tha damsel oughta be fun to catch...

Food + speedy-fishnet = Success. biggrin.gif
gabe3eb
Ha, yeah, at least its shallow and completely open up top. I wish I could keep all 4, but that would be pushing it a bit too much. It's a Talbot's Damsel, fwiw.
pismo_reefer
At least its werth the stress then, laugh.gif


and yea, I do have 4 fish in here.... i forgot to answer that. happy.gif

you can do 4 fish....it just takes time.
