Phixion Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Nah, I'm just average. My livestock couldn't hold a candle to your's... Link to comment
pookstreet Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 It's not the tank. It's the person that matters Speaking of livestock, I took some fish pix last night. Couple of different Leopard Wrasses. Doing fine and eating so far. More Barlett's Anthias Link to comment
Phixion Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Whoa, those wrasse are pretty sweet!! I guy on SCNRS was just giving away a pair of Bartlettes... Link to comment
Lalani Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I am a Saints fan myself. Glad I'm not the only one here. Great pics, and those fish are beautiful. Link to comment
hecsrt-4 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Holy Bananas am gone for a couple of months and this beast emerges. Wow is all I have to say. Link to comment
pookstreet Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Whoa, those wrasse are pretty sweet!! I guy on SCNRS was just giving away a pair of Bartlettes... Do you know if he still has them? I am looking to add a few more to the tank. LMK who it is so I can contact him. Thanks. The wrasses are amazing but also some of the toughest fish to keep in a tank environment. Glad I'm not the only one here. Great pics, and those fish are beautiful. Thanks. I lived in NO until I left for college. Always been a Saints fan, good or bad years. Although I wasn't too thrilled when they drafted Bush, since I went to UCLA Holy Bananas am gone for a couple of months and this beast emerges. Wow is all I have to say. Thanks and it's been well, a little bit more than just a couple of months. More like a year and a couple of months Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Wow awesome fish Kenny! Link to comment
pookstreet Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Wow awesome fish Kenny! Thanks. I am just glad that I can finally add more fish. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Also, great pics!.....Wrasses and Anthias are impossible to photograph, well done! Link to comment
pookstreet Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Yeah, tell me about it. Amazingly, the African Leopard in the first two pix was very cooperative. But the Potter's Leopard was lightning fast and the Anthias were almost as bad. I went through a LOT of pix before I found several that were in focus. Link to comment
pookstreet Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Finally got a Mystery Wrasse. He was hassled a bit at first by the Disappearing Wrasse, which is at least 3-4X bigger, but has been doing fine and comes out in the open more now. Once it settles in and not so skittish, I'll snap a few pix. It's another beautiful fish on my long wanted list Link to comment
pookstreet Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Orengi Chalice from er1c_the_reefer Gold Digger Echino - the gold highlight is much nicer in person but hard to capture on camera. Some Favia I've been growing out from frags Link to comment
Phixion Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Eric has some NICE livestock!! Link to comment
pookstreet Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Yes he does. I've gotten a couple of things from him. I am hoping he's able to catch his Hawaiian Flame wrasse pair cuz I want them Link to comment
Phixion Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Ahh very cool, Kenny! Did anything ever pan out with the anthias? Link to comment
pookstreet Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 He only had a male and I don't want to put another male in the tank. Only looking for a few small females at this point. Thanks for the heads-up though. Link to comment
pookstreet Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Here is a short video of the tank. The colors are kinda washed out though. Link to comment
pookstreet Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hi Kenny: I bought a couple of frags from you several years ago and always kept your username handy for searches for good posts This video is so awesome! I LOVE the fish. Many of my favorites all in one tank looking healthy and happy. I'm going to get a <much> smaller version of my own garage tank. Did you have many heat issues in the summer? Thanks for the compliment. Not much in terms of heat issues the past 2 summers. The tank got as high as 83 only a few days this past summer. Most of the time, it was hovering at 81-82, while it got as hot as 105+ outside. I don't run a chiller at all, just relying on 3 fans on a temp controller to keep the cool in the tank. I think the most important thing was insulating the garage door, which lowered the temp inside by about 8-10 degrees, at least. It also helped that my garage was already finished and insulated. HTH and good luck on your garage set up. LMK if you have any other questions. Link to comment

smarcus3 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 one day when i finally get out of the apartment i hope to get a large tank like yours. Link to comment
pookstreet Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yeah, it's hard to maintain a large tank in an apartment setting. Not to mention some places probably don't even allow aquariums. A decent pic of the Cirrhilabrus jordani male. Still have yet to get a good one of the female. Mystery Wrasse Link to comment
