hey wha type of anemones do you have? im looking for some, and can trade you rofr some empty rock. will you be at the meeting saturday? i got your frags ready for you. test yor water. It could be that the ammonia or the nitrates have spiked due ot the deatjer of the fidlers. just a thought. try doing 2 30percent waterchanges this coming week, one on monday and the other on thursday. that should help it,

i know you dont like them, but a royal gramma would be a nice addition

nope.. i tested my water 0 trite,trate, and ammonia.. im doing a waterchange on sunday..

maybe a RG and a YTB damsel.. i HATED the on in my 90g. b/c he started picking on other fish.. but w/ a damsel and him i prob. wouldnt care..

bumping this thread up with an update.
first off does anyone have any stocking suggestions??
Next,
Today i am picking up a Green Sinularia frag, a frag of 10 blue zoas (never seen them but i am VERY excited!!) and a frag of pinkish palythoa's...and possibly some green zoas.. ill update you later

hey josh, the frag of blue zoos is nore like 25 polyps, and you got 2 sinulairas coming remember? lol. c ya tnightat the meeting, oh the green zoos have 5 small poylps on them, but they are hard to find in our area so thats why they r so small. u owe me 25 lol. but i got a few extras freebies for you too.

AWESOME!!!!
whoops.. EVEn better 25 polyps!!!... $25 it is!..
thank you very much
also i didnt mention the other frag of sinularia b/c only one is going into this 10g.
the other is going into my 90g.

oh ok, i thought you forgot about that second one. your going to love it. and the 25 polyps is an under statement. there ar emore lol

lol.. ff, the ytb damsel and rg would be nice together. i have two ytb damsels in my 20H and they really are beautiful. they even show less aggression than my old clown pair. you just cant beat the color of a rg though.

ok,
well i got some new additions
thankyou frag master a.k.a. fragmologist...
i really like them... well at least what i can see of the zoas.. the frags of sinularia already have expanded and at least doubled in size from when they were in the bag...
the only zoas that are open are the ones that fell behind the rocks and browned out..
anyway here is wat i got tonite
2 frags of green Sinularia
a frag of pink palythoa
a frag of blue zoas
a frag of browned out zoas but they do have some color in them.. they should color up
a frag of orange center w/ green skirt (for free!.. really nice piece!!)
and another frag of zoas but i have NO clue of what they are since they arent opened...
pics tomorow when they are opened up

josh, im glad you like them, i always got more for sale or even trade if you ever wnat more. let me know thanks.

Hey FF, you ought to do a Helfrichi Firefish for this tank, it's not like your dad can't afford it! I think it would look great and it would make your tank one step up above all the rest.

its not that i cant get one.. just that i HATE their personality.. firefish are realy pretty fish but... its not worth it..

Sounds like you're getting that thing stocked pretty good.



Lets see some updated pics!

hey as the propagator of his newest frags i will saythat they will make his tank look really good. shoot me some pics tmmrw josh, i want to see how they are doing.

Why not go with a Yellow Assessor? I have seen these fish in person, beautiful and full of energy.

i'd rather not mail order b/c of school and i have a crazy schedule^
but if i come across one and i like it that could be a good possibility...
tomorow i might be getting an octopus BTW (not for this tank..as long as my dad says yes )ill let you guys now..
also pics tomorow..

Im getting the octopus!! im extremely excited.. and i really hope it is eating and that i wont run into problems..

for which tank?

30g used to be FOWLR...ok so today..
i took out my eel and my mollie in the 30g. FOWLR and added some rock and now the octopus is floating.. i got some cool pics.. ill start another thread....
if needed i can always upgrade...actually i have a spare 75g. in the garage.. but w/ my dad i'd probably upgrade to something a little smaller
anyway this octopus is already eating frozen silversides and krill...
wish me luck (BTW.. its not like i havnt researched any so im pretty confident.. but you never know what problems will arise )

nice, maybe you could try cuttles next

its a possibility... esp. since octopets is coming back and they will be offering them next summer or something like that

YES! cuttlefish are awesome!

if anyone has anymore replies about octopus or cuttlefish please put them on this thread and leave this thread for my contest tank:

JOSH were are pics of the frags i sold ya last night? i want to see updated picks of the contest tank with my frags in it. ill have a few more for you next meeting.

they arent opened yet.. take a look at my new octopus^^
http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...mp;#entry931150

i did, i really like it

ok,
srry for kinda neglecting this thread a little bit.. anyway the frags are just starting to open up fully.. ill give you guys pics later.. also today i saw one of the fiddlers crawling around on the bottom.. so he is alive.. i grabbed him and brought him up for some air.. then he went back in...

Ok,
i got good news and bad news... first the bad news
heater malfunction= dead clowns (sandra and fransisco RIP)
now the good news...
i saw a random zoa frag floating around in an unlit cave in my 90g.
grabed it and it is now in the 10g.... i think it browned out b/c of low light and im hopeing that its colors will come back!

hey looking good

Guys, suggestions for stocking would be GREAT!

This is really late dude but good luck (lol)

lol better late then never..
now please stocking suggestions? Or do i just have to wait for something to poke me in the eye?also forgot to mention. im gonna try to trade in these 2 hunks of LR for some smaller peiced..
the big boulder just aint cuttin it!
for stocking list how about a black occ. and something else

Black Ocellaris Clowns would be awsome.

Yea I 2nd that! that would look nice actully!

yeah.. at first i was thinking a yellowtailblue damsel.. but then i realized that a blue fish wouldnt show very well b/c the blue background...

i agree with them

A unique stocking idea: Pygmy Hawkfish. I saw one of these in my LFS last week...it was so cool and it hopped around all its LR perches, so cool.

yup.. seen them.. but hawkfish might pick on the sexy shrimp..
a LFS just got in a shipment w/ black perculas.. im gonna go pick one up..

they told me they were black occ. and they are infact black saddlebacks .. i was very dissapointed but walked out w. alot for the 90g.
(Acro., Crocea Clam, green frogspawn, pink stylo, long tip plate).. i might be getting new rock for my 10g....

my lfs just got a bunch of black sebaes in what happened with the proposed royal gramma?

ppplltttt^^^
NEVER AGAIN!!!
pics when i get the new rock.. which will probably be today...

fine, its not like you can have aggression probs if its the only fish though. anyway, maybe you could try to find something different like a panda goby.

nope^ WAAAAAY to small and do poorly in aquariums...

Ok,
well a LFS is taking an order from ORA and i placed an order for:
-1 Black Occ.
-1 No Stripe Occ.

believe it or not but the No stripe is cheaper then the Black lolol

i guess no one really cares anout that^ well anyway new additions for today are
ULTRA red mushroom and bleached Green Rics..
both were taken 'hostage' by my Pistol Shrimp so they arent in the best condition... The Pistol eventually spit them out of his cave and i picked them up, bagged them, and then put them in the 10g. Pics later.. but EVERYTHING needs to attach to something (anything actually) and then i need to glue it to bigger rocks b/c right now its all just laying on the sand

new rocks.... tonite!!!

Hm, no one seems interested,
anyway... I got the Rocks tonite and took out that STUPID boulder rock... i think i like the aquascape but Im not sure yet... It looks like it could potentially be really nice w/ coral on it.. also i couldnt resist this Midas Blenny at the LFS so i grabbed him up....He doesnt have much color to him but well work on that

swalesi basslet is always a show stopper. It takes a few months to get over its initial shyness but there are few fishes whose color can rival that of the L. swalesi, and if you're a high roller L. carmabi. Even I have yet to see a L. carmabi in real life

both of those are really nice fish but this tank just doesnt seem big enough.. BUT i think i will get one of those Swalesi basslets for my 90g....
really nice fish! and if i did come across and L. carmabi i would be sure to get it (as long as its not like $200)
Pics soon.. the coral is all just laying on the sand (for now) i just gotta glue it down to stuff and it should be fine!

This morning I found a nudi. munching away on my Toadstool... he did some serious damage.... pics later today
