yoshii Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Where are you living in SD, Yosh? I used to live at Regents and Genessee, brother and I walked through UCSD down the hill to go surfing at the pier. Lots of fond memories of the place... Also...well deserved TOTM! I'll be in the on-campus transfer apartments on the northwest side of UCSD Thank you! Quote Link to comment

yoshii Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Love me some SD . Gonna try to hit MACNA fa sho next year, Dallas MACNA was a lot of fun. I've never been to a MACNA, but I went to BAYMAC (the last year it happened ) and it really fun I imagine MACNA is just a bunch times more crazy 1 Quote Link to comment
yoshii Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'm starting to miss my bigger tank, even though it's still sitting in my house Such a pretty wrasse at my LFS! I want it. But it definitely won't fit in this tank, so I got sometime else instead 2 Quote Link to comment
GHamilton Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Six line grouper! Saw your little sign the other day hahaha. That's a cute little baby I wanted to steal it from you! Quote Link to comment

aquarium Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Just looked up six lined grouper. I had never heard of them, but it looks like an awesome fish! Just a tad big for a pico though... Quote Link to comment
Squared Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 damn a free AI? you lucky girl Should look nice over this little tank. now that i realize it, i didnt know petco sold such decent looking AIOs Quote Link to comment
antsypants Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Yay! I hope it turns out cool I'm getting saltwater today, and picking out rocks! I have one from my 55's sump I might use, but I still want to have another. I'll like to have 1 taller rock and 1 shorter rock Where are you from? Also, everytime I see your avatar, I always see it as part of a clam mantle, not a plant I'm from OC but I'm in SD often enough, mostly around the Coronado or Oceanside area though. And yeah, I've actually been told that before! My last avatar was of my pep shrimp but he died so I needed a new one. I can't really tell you why I chose a picture of a smiley grass cell though Even I can't explain my own reasoning sometimes Quote Link to comment

Just a tad big for a pico though... Yeah, they have slightly different coloration as juvis too. And are also technically a soapfish I'll show you guys a picture in a min damn a free AI? you lucky girl Should look nice over this little tank. now that i realize it, i didnt know petco sold such decent looking AIOs We have a great community here Thanks again to jbb_00! Surprising, right! There's also the "Arc" 6.2g (or 6-point-something gallon) I'm from OC but I'm in SD often enough, mostly around the Coronado or Oceanside area though. And yeah, I've actually been told that before! My last avatar was of my pep shrimp but he died so I needed a new one. I can't really tell you why I chose a picture of a smiley grass cell though Even I can't explain my own reasoning sometimes *needs to learn where those areas are* I'm sure I'll have to start pruning soon enough once everything settles down Well, either way, it looks cool! Ok, so time for late night scaping! I told myself I wouldn't get that many rocks....and then I ended up getting all these But I think I settled on a scape. What do you guys think? I might move the left side forward a bit, we'll see Quote Link to comment
yoshii Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Here he is the day we got him. Don't worry, he's not skinny anymore! In fact, I think he may have grown already He likes to eat 2 pieces of mysis. Then he is very full. I'm working on getting him to switch to pellets 3 Quote Link to comment
Squared Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Wish I had known about these tanks a week ago. I just bought an acrylic AIO because it was a good price, but now I have to deal with fixing the scratches. Scape needs more height imo...you should get some putty and gel and get creative. It's fun making weird shapes with rocks. Quote Link to comment

It's fun making weird shapes with rocks. Can you return the one you just got? I wanted to make it higher, but then I thought about the gorgs, they'll give me the height. I wanted to add another rock but had to resist because it would take up too much space 1 Quote Link to comment
Squared Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I cannot return it...was a need to sell I found off socalireefs. Needs a little work but it's a nice tank. I think it's bigger than this one by a few gallons though. Not even 100% sure what to do with it...probably freshwater. what is the list of coral/algae you'll be bringing into this tank like?

aquarium Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 He is so tiny! what a cool addition to a tank. Quote Link to comment
Anden Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 That fisk is that not a toxic fish that have toxic mucus and if threaten they can wipe out a tank or is that just a story on the internet? Quote Link to comment
kimberbee Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Cute fish and nice scape! Are you going to add sand? Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 That fisk is that not a toxic fish that have toxic mucus and if threaten they can wipe out a tank or is that just a story on the internet? It is a soapfish technically, so yes, that mucous can definitely take out tankmates. Happened to jbb_00 recently. Quote Link to comment
jbb Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Was this little dude Quote Link to comment

If you do go salt, make a thread here I'm not sure yet, I'll probably start taking out stuff from my 10g and 3g tomorrow He is so tiny! what a cool addition to a tank. He's definitely one of the smallest fish I've seen. But doesn't have the "difficult to feed" issue That fisk is that not a toxic fish that have toxic mucus and if threaten they can wipe out a tank or is that just a story on the internet? Yes, soapfish produce a toxic mucus when stressed or dead Cute fish and nice scape! Are you going to add sand? Yes, I just finished taking down my 55g today, so I'm going to add sand from there. It is a soapfish technically, so yes, that mucous can definitely take out tankmates. Happened to jbb_00 recently. Yep! Luckily he'll be the only fish in the tank, if that does happen Was this little dude image.jpg Awww What happened? Quote Link to comment
jbb Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Awww What happened? To be honest , I'm not exactly sure. Everything was great one day and dead the next . It happened around the same time as switching my salt mixing container so I'm not 100% sure if that had anything to do with it or not. Quote Link to comment
