dmasterx1x Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 I decided to rescape, but didn't try the euphyllia tree idea.. yet. Since i took most of my zoas and palys out i decided to make a rock wall of sorts along the back of the tank. This opened up the sand bed a bit, which i plan to stuff with acans and rics. acans Link to comment
frankdontsurf Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Ric's and acans don't get along well even the slightest :/ looks awesome though Link to comment
dmasterx1x Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Ric's and acans don't get along well even the slightest :/ looks awesome though Oh shoot! Didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. I suppose i'll keep the ricordeas in my smaller tank. Link to comment
dmasterx1x Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 I put up a poll. Need the community to help me decide what fish, if any i should add. I suppose this tank is rather healthy and i think this new scape opened up some swimming space, so i'd like to see what ya'll think about adding a 3rd or possible 4th fish to the mix. I WILL go with the most popular choice. Vote closes Friday, April 25th. Thanks for voting! Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I loving so much watching this tank evolve !! This thing is looking awesome,keep up the work. I vote for the possum wrasse,such a cool little fish. Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I vote for a clown pair they are hardy and have so much personality... Anyway I'm so jealous of your euphylia growth can't wait to see what you do with the tree idea Link to comment
dmasterx1x Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I vote for a clown pair they are hardy and have so much personality... Anyway I'm so jealous of your euphylia growth can't wait to see what you do with the tree idea I've had lone clowns in this tank and they've never fared well. One jumped when i ran topless, 2 disappeared overnight.. i actually think they ended up inside my mini maxi anem. I've seen that thing swallow an unlucky nassarius snail. That's why i listed a pair as a possibility... perhaps they'll do better together. The tree idea is on hold while i mess around with my pico tank and finish up some other things i've been meaning to do for a while. I am also on the lookout for another addition to the euphyllia family, possibly a blue/teal hammer or a neon green torch.. OR both Link to comment
dmasterx1x Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Looks like 6 line wrasse is in the lead. Hopefully it doesn't get aggressive if i get one. It should have plenty of rock space to explore though, so i don't think it ought to get bothered by the presence of other fish. Link to comment
frankdontsurf Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Possum or Six both will be invisible till they are used to the environment Link to comment
dmasterx1x Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 I'm ok with that. My green clown goby was like that when i first got it. Now it thinks its a clownfish and acts like it owns all the corals it can sit on. Link to comment
dmasterx1x Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 going to close this poll at 12:00 EST. Looks like clown pair will come out on top. Link to comment
vlangel Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Sorry I didn't get in on the vote,(I'd have suggested a royal gramma ) but wanted to say great looking little tank! Link to comment
dmasterx1x Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Ze clowns. screen top. still have to touch it up a bit. Link to comment
dmasterx1x Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 So one of the clowns was incessantly attacking the other(smaller) clown. At first i let it go, figuring it was establishing itself as the dominating one,,, but after a few weeks it seemed to have gotten worse. I decided to catch the sucker and put him in FISH JAIL! That's right... this is what happens when you're caught and found guilty of multiple counts of aggravated assault. Sentence: 3 days in fish jail. Let that be a lesson to all aggressive fish.

Kijho Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hahaha that's awesome.. I kinda wanna get some sort of setup like that to keep my clowns in when I have to dunk my hand in there a bit. I know they can bite hard... But I just don't wanna disturb them as much with my big hands. They're tiny! Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hahahaha commit the crime,ya gotta do the time !!! That's too funny man. Have you thought of maybe making a acrylic kinda of box with holes drilled in it and clear suction cups to keep the "jail" In the tank instead of a Tupperware container ? Although I'm sure it was a spur of the moment kinda thing lol. Link to comment

I know they can bite hard... But I just don't wanna disturb them as much with my big hands. They're tiny! It wasn't that easy to catch him either, i literally had to tire him out to get him netted. Basically just chased him around with the net til he gave up. Hahahaha commit the crime,ya gotta do the time !!! That's too funny man.

Yes i have thought about something a little more dignified, but after seeing how nasty he was being last night i just wanted to act fast. Not fair to the other fish to be under stress like that.

Reefkid88 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Wow,that's crazy how mean some fish can be. When my brother n law had his 15 set up,our damsel was so mean,he'd torture our clown and keep him pinned behind the skimmer,and his fins and tail was all torn up from him nipping at him. He was the nicest fish ever,you could stick your hand in the tank and he'd lay in the palm of your hand. Until the damsel caused him to jump ( I'm assuming ) and he went concrete surfing and one of the outside cats ate him. Link to comment

I guess that's to be expected eventually when you jam fish in a small glass box. They probably don't go all ninja on each other in the wild. Link to comment
dmasterx1x Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Well Mr. Big bad guy is outta his holding cell. Seems to be much nicer. They're both doing this spazzy shaky dance.. not sure what that is, but probably means they're getting re-acquainted Link to comment

andi.rahl Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 awesome tank! I ripped the top off of my 6 gallon edge after chipping the corner, and I never regretted the decision! It was so much easier to do anything in the tank. Though the glass rectangle was beautiful, the chip drove me insane. So it had to go. I like the separate little tank for the z and p's/softies! This is one awesome setup. Did you make that little corner frag stand? I'll be following along. Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 That sake is them bondig depending on their size and age they could mate Link to comment

This is one awesome setup. Did you make that little corner frag stand? I'll be following along. Thanks for looking. I agree on going topless (obviously). Do you have any pictures of you edge on here? I got the frag stand on ebay for 10 bux or so. I have since removed it because a. all the zoas are moved to their own tank and b. the stand really scratched up my glass. I guess it would accumulate sand and other free-floating debris that would get wedged just along the glass. I didn't notice it until it i had to move it for a WC. big oops moment! That sake is them bondig depending on their size and age they could mate Well, i had to put him back in the bad guy tank. He got even worse after a few days of freedom! I witnessed him literally hanging onto the smaller fish by biting its underbelly. I think its time to go back to the fish store.. unless someone local wants a free clownfish. Here's some new pics. Got an actual camera, i'm still trying to figure it out.
