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 :)

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 :ninja:

So I filled the tank up today!

 

here's a picture of it. The water is actually clearing up very quickly which is nice!

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

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 omgomgomg:naughtydance:

 

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

hey so lots of thing have been going on :D

 

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!

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. :)

yeah the spotcinctus are sooo adorable. 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!) :P
