waytoospicy Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Another lagoon! Looking forward to it. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Looks nice! Might need a screen top on the tank to avoid jumpers. A wrasse would be a nice fish Link to comment
Sun_Queen Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Another lagoon! Looking forward to it. Thanks! your tank looks amazing! Hopefully I'll get my rock soon and this can start getting interesting! Looks nice! Might need a screen top on the tank to avoid jumpers. A wrasse would be a nice fish I've thought about different types of wrasses but the only kind I really like are flashers (though I'd probably want a trio or something and I'm not sure the tank is big enough) And yeah I do plan on getting a top before fish go in there Link to comment
Proudgeek Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Nice. Following. How about a flame hawkfish? They have personality. I have them short listed. Link to comment
tautog83 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 pygmy hawkfish and a swissguard or black cap basslet will be my only 2 fish in my lagoon i think!.. good luck.. im trying to figure out how to avoid the crappy im ghost skimmer Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Oh, yes... another 25 lagoon. Looks like a good equipment list. I'm going to say Geometric Hawkfish, Tailspot Blenny, Yasha/candy pistol, Candy Basslet and McCosker's wrasse<---- Just might be my stocking plans Link to comment
Sun_Queen Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 ok so I've been stupid busy and haven't had a chance to post here but I've made a bit of progress I'd love some opinions on my aquascape before I fill her up! here are some pics of my current idea: http://imgur.com/a/V69MJ Link to comment
Sun_Queen Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 So I filled the tank up today! here's a picture of it. The water is actually clearing up very quickly which is nice! http://i.imgur.com/PrxEJ6b.jpg also I brought home my third fish for the tank a few days ago! I picked up a male mandarin from the store I work at. And before anyone asks, he's already eating frozen! That's why I decided to get him. I've been waiting forever to find one eating frozen and he was gobbling it up (and he's super fat so that's always a good sign) I'm hoping my cycle will be done just in time for their quarantining period to be up so all three can go into their permanent new home soon... Also, my boss at the store is going to try and get me a larger mangrove (at least bigger than the normal pod size) to put into that back right corner Link to comment
Sun_Queen Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Sorry for not updating for a while! progress has been slow and steady. I finally got my nano box duo and it is amazing! I also added a rw4 powerhead for now but my mp10 is on the way yesterday I finally added my clownfish to the tank and they seem to be pretty happy in there. Also I have two corals in, a tiny green plating monitpora and a nice piece of montipora setosa I got for free! here are some pics Link to comment
805reef Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Nice! I have the same tank and love it. Fallow along Link to comment
Sun_Queen Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 hey so lots of thing have been going on I put my mp10 in and it looks so much better! plus, I added the mame skimmer (though it isn't running right now because it's blowing a TON of bubbles and idk why... any advice?) I've added a couple corals (blue stylo, birds nest) and a clean up crew (few snails and a halloween hermit crab) And finally, pictures! (ignore the diatom bloom lol) Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Noice, love the spotted clowns! Dunno what the prob from the skimmer might be but a quick order from John Maloney will take care of those diatoms! Following along. Link to comment

I do definitely need to beef up the cuc, luckily I get a discount on stuff at the fish store I work at! (I do love john though!) Link to comment
