Ok, so for those who have stuck around since the beginning, you will know that there have been quite a few ups and downs, but after the arrival of the 12, some of the corals such as the green sinularia, photosynthetic gorg etc, i decided to make a leather/xenia dominated tank, from here on out, this will be the remodel thread :)

So, shere khan has made a burrow...in the back of the tank <_< But maybe if i put a watchman in there, she might move so i was thinking of a wheelers, yellow, randall's or maybe a high fin if i can find one, i would move my pink spot into my 30 but he is aggressive and has been paired for almost a full year now with an unidentified pistol in my 14

Ok! so i have some new info on my tank, I had to quit my job due to my boss kinda being a 100% ass, but anyway, new additions are!!!

 

Kenya Tree which is growing really really really really fast

Wheelers Goby which I think Paired with my Pistol, but I'm not 100% sure yet :P

!UPDATES!

 

GSP GROWING LIKE CRAZY

Moved my yellowtail damsel over from the 14 and he is happy and fat (1 month in the reef)

Also moved my Tube anemone over and he is really happy in the new tank!

Future plans for the tank are pretty exciting, i have an interview with one of the best fish stores in our area tomorrow after my math and anatomy finals ewwww but if i do snag it, I'll have access to some of the nicest coral pieces I've seen in person. I have said this many times before but I'm gonna spew it again! A few mini maxi carpet anemones on some rubble rock in the front right of the tank. I will be purchasing a pair of anemone shrimp from KP aquatics as I have heard that theirs are much more colorful than other dealers. That's what is planned, but I will be attending both MACNA and Reef-A-Palooza as they are both within 40 miles of my house (woohoo) so i'll be spending a shit load there so who knows what this tank will look like by 2017... I hope good haha fingerscrossed

AWESOME video! And pictures look great!

 

that's pretty cool about MACNA and RAP!

What are you feeding in that video?

 

lol thanks stella! :happy:

Blood worms! One of 4 items I feed them, Spirulina Brine, Mysis, New Life Spectra Garlic Pellets and of course good ol' fashion Blood worms!

Love the name - Sher Khan. :wub:

That shroom worries me - it is an Elephant Ear by any chance?

What happened to Nebula?

 

Lol Thanks!

 

I don't think so, My clown goby sits on it for hours on end without it closing around it, Only time it closes is when I feed it

Like Here! I looked up some pics and it looked like elephant ears have more knobbier attachments and giant cup shrooms are folded along the edges. Actually looks more like a fuzzy mushroom hmmm :huh:

And I have no freakin clue about nebula :unsure: I fed him in the morning before school and came home too him on his back in the sandbed not breathing. I tried pushing him back and forth in the water to see if I could perform Fishy CPR but no luck. Levels are stable and there were absolutely no lacerations,marks,ich or any other disease present. Maybe internal, but i guess I will never find out :closedeyes:

Alrighty, So Tomorrow is my last day of my Sophomore year Woop Woop but I do have some good new about the reef! My Blenny (Earnie) is really starting to mow hair algae, still going to put 2 lettuce nudis in there, but he's doing a pretty great job! And what I am happiest about is that after 4.5 long months the PINK coraline is starting to encrust on the back of the tank, It's been growing on the rocks for sure, but I'm just pretty psyched that it's on the back now... :P

That's a pretty one!

Haha thanks! I've seen those ultra rainbow ones which go for around 250... This one was 30 lol

 

He's a mover too, almost 6 inches overnight so idk where he'll end up, but hopefully he settles in soon

 

I'll post a pic of him all opened up later on today :)

 

Not mine, but one I definitely want
