nanoty Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Nice shots. Curious to what your maintenance schedule is. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Everyday I dose b-ionic twice, two 20 ml doses. I top off twice daily and clean the skimmer daily. I feed the fish in the morning and again at night and feed the mandarin at night. I also clean the glass. Weekly I clean the pump screens, rinse the bag of carbon and do a 5g water change. Monthly I clean the creep, clean the MH uv shields, and clean the pump impellers, and scrape coralline. Something like that anyway. Link to comment
Alcapown Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Can you post shots of the full front and rear view? hahaah. Sorry, had to lol. Awesome tank, and love reading your posts about mandarin that I have stumbled across. Link to comment
Phixion Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 AWESOME pic of the orchid, I could never get one so nice, not even when I had an Indigo... I concur about the Orchids, definitely the best of the dottybacks! Man I want another Indigo... Link to comment

Although, from the sounds of it, you feed a little more than I do, so maybe I don't need to clean as much.... or at least thats how I'm going to justify it. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Its kinda like if you had a first job at a resturaunt, and you were a dishwasher. You get home to a couple dishes in the sink and think that is nothing copared to what I did earlier. I feel the same way, I clean huge tanks all day long, so coming home to a few more minutes on mine is nothing. Dont worry you can get away with less, I am just OCD. Seriously I turn around half way down the street to double check the garage door didnt come back up. Page 50! Link to comment
Babyham6 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 SDT knows her stuff and it shows in her reef. I'll be happy if I can get mine half of where her's is at. Keep it up Link to comment
cracker Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Got a decent picture of the Orhid Dottyback. Awesome little fish, by far the best of the dottybacks. Another picture of my z's n p's. Love the picture of your dottyback. You always have the best pictures. I am so glad that you backed them up. Servers can be so frustrating! Link to comment
Jasoncgnu Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Amazing tank! I'm curious did you buy those zoa/pally covered rocks like that or have they just filled in that way in your tank? Either way it looks incredible. Link to comment

I totally get what you're saying though. When you come home, you're glad your tank is like the ones you're around all day. Plus you actually know how to keep it clean in the first place.

Either way it looks incredible. You cant buy rocks like that, atleast covered in those types of zoas! Everything in my tank started as a frag. I have never bought a colony. Link to comment

Jasoncgnu Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Nice kitty Jason! Thanks! He's my 20lb baby. He's huge and you can kinda get any idea of the size when you look at him compared to my 5.5. Link to comment

neuwave Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Those are some of the corals your have at your store? Whoa gotta take a trip from orlando to see what this store has. Never been there. When is the best day to come? With most livestock and such??? Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 We dont get shipments for the most part, we grow out coral, so any day is a good day. Please come check us out at Amazing Aquariums in South Daytona. We will hopefully be sponsors soon and be able to offer deals to N-R.com Link to comment

SeeDemTails Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 The dottyback is great, zero aggression towards any of the fish. I should have put him in there a long time ago. Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Thats awesome, is it active a lot during the day? Link to comment

SeeDemTails Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yeah he is out all the time during the day. The tang scares him every now and then by accident, but he is a little butterfly, all over the place! Amazing Aquariums Link to comment
