occelaris

Oh I thought they were Saddle Back Picasso Platinum Grade A.

lulz. That el cheapo return pump has like, nine lives ur something!

el cheapo, cat version!

ahahahahahahahaha! el cheapo=my tank! So far all equip is aquatraders except a 150w heater!

I like the name el cheapo

ya me too! Gonna move over some more fish and critters... settled on this:

1x pomacanthus navarchus
1x zebrasoma flavescens
1x zebrasoma scopas
1x acanthurus leucosternon

1x gramma loreto
1x opistognathus aurifrons
1x amphiprion occelaris
several gobidae
several wrasses
etc

and i'm really tempted on zanclus cornutus, yet i know it's impossible to keep them. If the tank seems okay, I'll add a mandarin a flame angel.

P.S.-ohh ya when you search desardjini on google, this thread comes up. It's actually desjardini. hahahahaha

P.P.S- desardjini sounds like desert genie. ahahahahahaha

Your scientific names lose me.

Very nice list!

I noticed you have plenty of hard-to-keep animals. How are you planning on keeping them???

If you have any questions on gobies I'll gladly answer them! I am the goby master haha.

In short, an angel, some tangs, a clown, a royal gramma, yellowheaded jawfish


Well, which ones do you mean? the leucosternon? the navarchus? mandarin won't be too tough in this size system, and a highly doubt it on the zanclus

Thank! I'll let you know!

Basically the angels and the Powder Blue.

I commend you for trying at that navarchus. Beautiful yet dangerous and tough!

A Moorish Idol. Well, umm, No.

That zanclus was a joke. . BTW, it's supposed to be a safer angel if you know where to get it from *cough cough* not indonesia *cough cough*

Damn it! Checked the 10g, the royal gramma has ich. Gonna move all the corals and jawfish over tomorrow and do hypo salinity.

jawfish and some corals ad hermits acclimating! Happy birthday to me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

So can we see a FTS?

Yea later. . I got me refractometer! And I didn't need an ato, because it wasn't evap! After some good ol sleuthing, it turned out not to be the cats' fault! The weir was junk! IT would break its own siphon automatically! So, I got a quality, u-tube overflow for $60.

SYSTEM RUNNING! (with chaeto)

Oh, and a no go for the navarchus. Don't have the $150. So Pygoplites diacanthus it is!

Pygoplites diacanthus are awesome too!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! I always liked those pygoplites... plus their only $70.

Angels aren't reef-safe enough for me

Wow you killed am on your setup speed!

lol yea... I did... then again he's gettin a belize sun fixture and an aquac ev400. Me want!

Not Nice

Ding! Holy mackerel! Sg 1.027! Go refractometers! That hydrometer measured 1.018!

I officially hate evap. 3mm in 3 hours!

P.S.- I need a more efficient skimmer and a way to hang lights.

Some lighting fixtures hang from the ceiling.

Others have legs to hold on the tank.

can you say mac-u-lo-sus?

Awesome !!!

FTS?

Comin up! got the tank raised maculosus for $80! 50% off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the tank. The mac is a lil shy but still comes out. What a beauty!

Is it me or did i miss the tank cycle?

oh, it cycled. grin grin no seriously, i have nitrates and there's diatoms.

Mr. Mac is eating flakes! ::

go maculosus!

He's camera shy and moved into my jawfish's burrow. Now the jawfish is constructing another 2 burrows.

I can't wait til I get my Pearly Jawfish Congratulations!

Thanks!!! The mac was $84 but he gave it to me for $80. The lfs had just pulled out a three foot long bobbit worm out of their show coral tank, yikes!

P.S.- my jawfish is trained (by me ) to take flakes from the surface!!!!!!

Gonna go buy some lr shortly... when the lfs opens...

How did you do that?

I'm not sure! lol I just got the clown to go up, and the jawfish followed him. I <3 maculosus angels!

LOL!!!!!

I have to get my jawfish when I get it to do that
