MarvinsReef Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 new vid, mostly to highlight the harem of HI Flame wrasses... just so fun to watch... hopefully, after a few more months, the male will become a true SuperMale... although, he's a nice male already, he's not a true SuperMale yet... you can see highlights of blue/purple on the caudal and anal fins, but not the dorsal fin yet... I find myself more excited about fishes nowadays... since I have a few more with a bigger tank... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuaD0uftFxk pardon the mess around the tank, esp the frag racks... trying to keep the sand bed clean so the detritus don't settle in... I might add another MP40 to cover the area behind the rock work... I have between 3"-5" space behind the rockwork... that's where the frag racks will sit when the tank get settled in more... any comments or questions welcome but please be nice and polite... LoLz... Thanks... Link to comment
fishez4alivin Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 how many female Flame Wrasses are in there, my male may get jealous if he saw that Harem, looked like at least 4-5 females in there..lol You may want a second MP40W, I have 3 in my 110G Tank looks great, I wish I could have that many wrasses in my tank. I just got a little female the other day, and the colors my male displayed were awesome, I may need to catch a handful of fish and replace them with more females...you are right, the fish are much more exciting then coral..lol Link to comment

fishez4alivin Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Wow 5 is a great number, your male will be a true super male soon enough. Nice Chalices too, your tank is a winner Link to comment

MarvinsReef Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 water change done 09-05-09... about 20g worth... I'm gonna do another one this week... sometimes, I get into a mode where I do water changes for 3-4 weeks in a row... I'd like to think that this improve my water quality, therefore making my corals and fishes happier... although now, the cost is multiplied by 3-4x from my previous tanks... LoLz.... btw, I will be pickin' up a nice Lineatus this Friday... yay!!! not a SuperMale but a nice young male... I didn't wanna go through the Crazy Rhomboid phase again.... Rambo was a stud that he went crazy everytime he saw his reflection on the glass... I'm glad he's toned down now... I'm hoping the Lineatus won't go crazy since he's not a stud/SuperMale yet.... btw, I just made up the "stud" phase... it's the phase between adult male and SuperMale... hahaha... and just another vid of the harem.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2eg2mIOKe8 Link to comment

Congrats!!! hey, thanks man... yeah, I've been busy with the little ones lately but hopefully, by next year, I'll have more time to collect... I'll try to be good the rest of the year and just grow what I have left.... I'm having a little algae issue but with the tank being new, it's expected... hopefully, get the battle won by winter...

MarvinsReef Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Progression pics... 08-08-2009 10-06-2009 02-27-2009 10-06-2009... you can still see the original 4 heads... I have to figure out the white balance on the new camera... either that or I need to find a good bulb combo... as of now, I'm using the following bulb combo, hence the more blue background... I'm thinking of adding a KZ Fiji Purple into the mix... T-5 bulbs (54w) from back to front - ATI Blue + (normal) - ATI Blue Special (overdriven) - 22k AquaScience (overdriven) - ATI Blue Special (overdriven) - ATI Blue + (overdriven) - 22k AquaScience (normal) Link to comment

I havent been on NR in a couple months because of school and football take up 95% of my time. I took down the 5.5 but moved all the livestock to my parents tank. And from what they have told me all the frags you sold me have turned into colonies. So Im really excited to get back home for Christmas and see everything. Thanks again Marvin. Link to comment
