YaBoyLaj Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 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 1 Quote Link to comment

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 !UPDATES! GSP GROWING LIKE CRAZY 8 NEW EAGLE EYE BABIES 3 NEW CANDY APPLE BABIES! ------------------------------------ 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!

YaBoyLaj Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 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 1 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Love the name - Sher Khan. That shroom worries me - it is an Elephant Ear by any chance? What happened to Nebula? Quote Link to comment
YaBoyLaj Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Love the name - Sher Khan. 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 (Jacques pops in at 0:09) And I have no freakin clue about nebula 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 Quote Link to comment
YaBoyLaj Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 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... Big Chunk Under a Drainage Hole Small Specks here and there Larger specks here and there Bad picture of Ernie taken from a video, I just really like when he colors up like this! 1 Quote Link to comment
YaBoyLaj Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 After a trip to the LFS i grabbed some reef glue, saltwater and something I've wanted for a long,long time! WOOHOO (mini maxi Carpet Anemone) 2 Quote Link to comment
YaBoyLaj Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 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 1 Quote Link to comment
