yoshii Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'm a music professor and I'm a reefer. It is cool. You have something to talk about other than school. Many of my musician friends will ask about my tanks when they get tired of the music jabber and gossip that everybody else is discussing at gatherings and meetings. How small is she. The closeup throws off scale a bit for me. L Haha yeah, we're discussing yumas on the philosophy facebook page I need to post a FTS then you can see how small she is in a 3 gallon Link to comment

How cute! Sometimes, my LFS gets these tiny baby damsels in. They are very cute. L Link to comment
yoshii Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ooh, what species? I love tiny fish! Link to comment
lljdma06 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ooh, what species? I love tiny fish! One time they got a itty bitty beau gregory in. Tiny! Very pretty when babies, ugly when adults, in both personality and looks. It was about 1/2 an inch long. It doesn't stay that small obviously. Link to comment
yoshii Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Wow, that's tiny! It's unfortunate they become so aggressive Link to comment
nanoreefnate Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I demand a tank update!!! Link to comment
yoshii Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 *Emerges from shadows*This tank's 4th birthday is coming up next week! Today I got an early birthday present for the tank, the same species of the original inhabitant 4 years ago, a cute little Yellowtail Damsel I just did a water change so all the corals are closed up, maybe pics tomorrow or MondayBut don't expect a FTS, this tank doesn't look so great with a tough bryopsis-like algae on the rocks*Sinks back into the shadows* Link to comment
yoshii Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thank you Newman!I'm hoping I can bring this little tank with me when I change school Here's a pic of the new guy, sorry I got home later than expected and don't have time to clean the acrylic today Also, I found these pics on my computer but I don't think I ever posted them? These are a few of the corals when they were new to the tank Link to comment
yoshii Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Happy 4th of July everyone!That means this tank also turns 4 years old today! I plan to have this tank up for at least 1 more year, but hopefully longer if I can bring it when I move Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Happy 4th of July everyone! That means this tank also turns 4 years old today! I plan to have this tank up for at least 1 more year, but hopefully longer if I can bring it when I move Where are you moving? Short move or a long one? Move to Florida it's warm there and there's oranges. Link to comment
aquarium Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 FTS!!!!!!!!! I need an update Link to comment
yoshii Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 *slowly comes out from hiding* This tank is still alive, I promise lolDid a 100% water change today, and this tank needed it dearly. I've been super busy with school, so all of my tanks just kinda sat there, occasionally I added new fish to my larger tank, but they all got neglectedI'm moving in the beginning of summer and will only be able to keep this tank probably (If it's allowed). I'm only moving to a university 2 hours away, but I won't have room for large tanks. Until then I want to try to at least add some more coral to this tank, get it decent-looking and keep up on water changes for a last hurrah if I have to take this tank down tooLights are off right now, but I'll try to snap a quick FTS tomorrow. Don't get excited, today I actually took out quite a bit of coral that wasn't looking so hot. Plus I kinda want to start over coral-wise Link to comment

Alkomist Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I cant believe its been 4 years ago already...I remember you making my post your Sig like it was yesterday lol Time Flies!!!! Link to comment
yoshii Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Alkomist! I didn't know you were still on here! Good to see you again Haha yes it's still in my sig! I just snapped some FTS pics, gosh I forget how awful it is to try to photograph this tank. Anybody have tips for photos with LED lighting? Everything is purple Custom white balance isn't helping at allAnyways I'll post a FTS in a few min Link to comment
1.0reef Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Bout time you showed up out of hiding! lol Link to comment
yoshii Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Brace yourself for UGLY I'm warning you This little dude is still chilling in here, pretty much looks the same except now he can eat regular size pellets (instead of the powder food) As soon as the portion of GSP on the front gets a little thicker, I'm going to peel it off. Right now it's really thin and I feel like it's just going to tear into pieces if I try to get it off nowAnd yep, pretty much only 4-5 corals in here now. I might move some nice Blastos from my 55 into here, and then I'll stop by my LFS for some new stuff in a few days Oh yeah, you probably noticed the aiptasia everywhere, I need to grab a pep for that Also, the reason my rock is "hairy" is 1)hydroids that came back and 2) Annoying turf-like algae Link to comment
tako Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Ha. I just logged into nano-reef for the first time in about two years and noticed you're back. Graduating, getting a real job, and moving around the bay area has been even harder on my tank. All the macros you gave me are gone, save for the caulerpa... Nothing can outgrow the caulerpa. I found out my tank can go six months without a filter, skimmer, or water change, so there's that. Good luck! I can think of a handful of good places to go school about two hours away.

Haha hiya Billy! I was just looked at your macro tank thread a few days ago Congrats on graduating and the job! Macros are pretty forgiving, I find that the worst thing that happens when I neglect my tank is that this one really fast growing species of caulerpa overgrows and kills off (by shade) my slower-growing macros If you want some more macros, I pretty much always have some to give away! UC Davis Today I picked up quite a few random little coral pieces for this tank, currently they are floating in the bags. I also got a small little green bubble nem, just for giggles. If it doesn't like the tank I'll move it out. I also got a peppermint shrimp to eat the monster aipstaia growing in here Link to comment
Sunstar Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 they always look "ugly" to start then get drop dead gorgeous. Your thread was lovely. took a while to go through it. Link to comment
