For me it would be the ONLY inhabitant. Oh, a tight conopy ehh?? What are they, an octopus in training?? I keed I keed!! But wow, you definitely gotta pay to play with one of those guys. Maybe I'll try out an angler first, lol!

Yep they are definitely escape artists. I wanted an angler as well but they will literally try to eat just about anything where the moray is definitely the most peaceful of the eels. He doesnt even bother my snails or hermits.

That's good to know, I wasn't sure if hands in the tank should be watched or not with it around...

Nope they are very docile.He retreats to his cave whenever my hands are in the tank

Ahh, good stuff!!

I love your setup, the tanks from CADLIGHTS are very clean. I hope to get one in the future.

y thank you...You wont regret your purchase they really are great tanks.

love that eel -- and, great videos. my wife gets a kick out of them, too.

Thanks alot tim. Love the way your tank is coming is along

So heres a new vid of the guys at feeding time. Sorry it took so long to upload it..

That video is great

Thanks for watching icky

my wife and i watched the feeding video today -- she LOVES these videos. now she's singing the song from the feeding video and wondering why we don't have that kind of relationship with OUR fish...

what song is that, by the way?

Thanks alot tim im glad someone enjoys them besides me . The song is best friends by Harry nilssen from "the courtship of eddies father". I had to google it lol

That is one sweet video bro!!!

Thanks alot David

That's great!

Almost looks like the blue spot is singing along!

Beautiful critters E.

I was hoping youd catch that buddy I was trying to edit that way lol

That's what we love about ya bro, that extra effort.

Two very gorgeous high dolla fish there! It's very fascinating watching them interact with each other, the eel didn't give a crap about the jawfish's threats hehe. Nice vids man

Thanks alot mirage. It awesome to watch them together they have really funny interactions with one another. Most of which i could never catch on video. But the jawfish is always trying to assert dominance over the eel(even though he could more probably eat him if he really wanted to...lol) and the eel totally ignores him most of the time.But they do get along really well for the most part.

nice tank set up,rehype!i think this tank is my upgrade.
awesome fish,too!

I love both of the videos! You've got some amazing fish. When are you going to add some equally amazing corals?

wow man, i love it!!!.... i feel you on the shoulder bro, im getting surgery on it this october. And noooo the scoobie is gone . Did you get another one? I love my wrx.

Thanks alot mr.totm I appreciate it.




Thanks alot paleo i appeciate it. Im itching so bad to buy corals...But i i promised on this setup i would wait a month after i added fish before i began stocking corals.





Thanks alot erick. GL with the surgery im just doing physical therapy since the docs said surgery isnt the best way to go.About the scoobie I was going to but i decided not to(at least not right now). I was really bummed since the car was almost paid off i decided i dont want to have a car payment for a while.

STi wagon FTW....

Nice restraint! I approve. Not that you need my approval, but hey, can't hurt.

Your right i may buy something in a week or two...




lol

So heres some pics for my buddy richie..(i guess i had to get back to the basics )

Video is great fun, but there is so much a still shot captures that a vid never will methinks.

That razor sharp detail of curve and color- well, not my shots.... but I think you know what I'm struggling to say.



Awesome shots as always Eugene!

You seem to be having a blast with that new camera my friend

Thanks alot Buddy

So i picked up a midas blenny. I plan to take a few pics once his color changes back. I didnt know they turned so dark when stressed out . Once he gets acclimated and fed im sure his beautiful color will come back.

Did I read the grapevine correctly?

BJ has passed on??

Yep its all my fault(im such an idiot) I accidentally left the canopy about open by 1/2 inch and he jumped... Ill probably get another but he was definitely one of a kind..

Awesome pics though.

That sucks. I had a BSJF once and it died on me. Mine was due to stress though, I'm guessing the affects of how it was caught since I got it literally fresh from the trans-ship.

* manhug *

Ohchit.

Sorry buddy. Yes he was.

Ugh, why is it they can always find a crack in the cover-lid-canopy??

Think I'm gonna log out. I am reading nothing but sad threads and I myself am losing one of my fav ORA frags to STN.

Hang in there E.

Thanks lani




I think thats what bums me out the most. He was really healthy,ate like a pig and was not at all afraid of me. He was a perfect jawfish...well almost..



Thanks alot Bud. Sorry to hear your losing one of your frags.

oh man, that is terrible news. i'm sorry to hear about the loss of your little buddy.

my wife doesn't know yet (she's gonna cry when i tell her), but you should know that we both are feeling for you. always tough to lose a good, high-personality fish like BJ.

Thanks i appreciate it. I know its "just a fish" but its tough when its your favorite.

Well i finally got my nanoskimmer from Euro-reef. This was the new two pump version for the cadlight 39 gallon Signature. I had to wait quite a while(over 2 months) for them to get the kinks worked out of this model. But im pretty excited because the new design is awesome. The pumps are placed differently than skimmer designed for the pro edition, the skimmer pump is larger and they have a new material for the mesh wheel. It produces a huge amount of really small bubbles so ill be sure to write up a review once its broken in.

Very interesting. Can't wait to see what it pulls out!

Me too..it will probably a week or so before I see anything significant

So i finally managed to get some pics of my midas blenny.He was really shy for a while but now hes totally ok with me taking pics.. so heres a few..let me know what you think

Very pretty Bro.

Has always been a favorite of mine.

Yet to actually get one tho.

Thanks buddy..You should pick one up they have alot of personality.

great pics of that midas!

what kind of camera/settings are you using to capture such clear shots of him? i'm using a nikon d40 with a tripod, and just using the "action shot" auto setting. my [only] lens is kind of a "utility" lens though - it's an 18-135mm. i was thinking my lens might be the issue and that i should shell out for a decent macro lens. what about you?

Thanks alot Tim.

I use a canon rebel T1i. If i remember correctly two of the shots were with the 100mm macro and two of the shots were with my kit lens(18-55) I shoot in manual 100% of the time and use spot metering. You should turn off your pumps turn on your main tank lights. Dont use a flash unless you have a proper method of diffusing it.And try to use the lowest iso you can get away with. A tripod or monopod can also help tremendously.

Also managed to snag a few pics of my sunburst anthias.
