Matteo Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 got a mated pair of mandarin gobies today! Went in for one found that they were a mated pair and just HAD to get both Link to comment
J-Ranko Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Alright alright! Busy day today but a good one! Got the ATO reservoir camouflaged, new Flame Angel, and a couple of pics as an update! Tank is still a little cloudy and some corals are still pissed off but this has only been setup of for 3 days so it is all expected. [...] annnnd FTS Love the scape. I sitll can't believe you got so lucky with this instant upgrade! Link to comment
Matteo Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Love the scape. I sitll can't believe you got so lucky with this instant upgrade! Thanks! Yeah it seriously was a crazy good trade that happened out now nowhere! I literally was just sitting in my living room admiring the fact I finished my 29g reef finally and then went on Craigslist and found the setup. Asked if he'd just wanted to part out coral then by chance asked of he was in to quadcopters and boom! New setup Link to comment

Did well for about 2 years then disappeared. I'd like to say it didn't starve but can never be sure with those guys. Maybe you want to look into a feeding station for them Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 oh yes, bluefish all the way! Matteo I need a "Dummies guide" to sticking 4 V4 pucks in my 48" ATI by removing two center bulbs Link to comment

Owners said they were eating frozen but we'll see.. I have frozen mysis, and a frozen mix of everthing made by lfs. My fuge has a lot of pods also. I will probably dose pods every couple months. Just dump them in the fuge and turn the return pump off for a couple hours. Once they are out more I will see what they eat:) Matteo I need a "Dummies guide" to sticking 4 V4 pucks in my 48" ATI by removing two center bulbs I hope V4 was a typo! There's new ones? So it's actually pretty easy...you could either send the ATI to Dave and have him do it or PM me for a large list of instructions and equipment and even possibly sending me the unit and I can do it for you. Just PM me:) Link to comment

Matteo Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 just a little update! Mandarin Dragonet Pair seem to be a happy couple. They were on the skinny side when I first got them but they are looking fatter and fatter as the days go on! Also hard to tell but they maaaaybeeee eating frozen. They hide every time I stick my face up against the glass..... Also Flame Angel is looking real good and haven't seen him go after any coral yet. Upped the V3s a bit, only about 5% so far everything is looking good! Getting my first piece of Acro for this tank Friday plus a ton of other pieces! Super excited! here is a pic of the Acro! Raspberry ShortCake! also have a chance to pick a frag of Oregon Tort for pretty cheap! Still not sure though! I haven't SPS in this setup yet. Pretty confident my water is savvy! Link to comment
