squirrelieygrrrl Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 sweet little pico what cha gonna do with the bad crab tank? Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 fill it up with macro and mushrooms, my red shrooms are dropping heads and moving and leaving babies like crazy, so I'm just starting to clear em out a lil here and there and tossing them in the pico maybe to do some trading with maybe I'll put a pair of tiny gobies in there just for fun, who knows.... its FULL of copepods, if you look at the rocks closely it looks like the are moving... tons of pods Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 sounds cool! my flourescent green frilly shrooms have all of a sudden decided to multiply! must be in the air, er water.... Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 maybe, I need to pick up some purple and green pinstriped shroomies to add some different color to my tank. Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 its funny how we seem to be pulled towards colors. im having a pink fetish atm, lol, looks like youve got a burgundy/red one. Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 yea, it just seems like the best pieces I find are all the same color... Link to comment
mercedes Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 yea, it just seems like the best pieces I find are all the same color... How funny. We do the same thing! Most everything in our tank is like minty green or minty green with pink. Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 if it wasn't such a P.I.T.A. I'd pick up a black sun coral for my angler to hide out in, hopefully he adjusts and turns burgandy haha. he won't be hunting fish for awhile tho, he's a lil guy, ghost shrimp and krill for awhile when he graduates outta his huggies then he'll get fish to eat haha Link to comment
Lizzie1324 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Cool angler! Some of them are cute, but I think they scare my mom a little Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Cool angler!Some of them are cute, but I think they scare my mom a little thanks one thing that is nice about anglers, they don't move that fast.. so they are easy to photograph I fed him at noon, it was awesome. I love watching these guys eat. 2 new photos of my angler Sócrates him ready to drop down in for the kill and the stare down before lunch. please excuse my signature smoke effect in the second picture, I have a tendencey to smoke while taking pics I need to add a a caption to the second photo, if you were the shrimp what would you be saying in this photo? " AWW Sh!t, I'm screwed " haha Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 neat ian! i say you need to take a nice macro shot of his/her face. they kind of remind me of toads. sort of. any how. i think hes wicked. i think socrates is a great name for him. awesome! Link to comment
Lalani Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Looks like a turd........ but a cool turd, right? Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Looks like a turd........ but a cool turd, right? ouch.... I don't know of many turds that eat shrimp and fish in one bite or cost 99 bucks ... Link to comment
Lalani Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Lol, I would never spend that much for a fish, but anglers are really neat. Good luck! Link to comment
chuckfullservice Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Just a quick question ? When exactly did you start this tank? Did you use cured or uncured rock and sand? Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 cured live rock, I really actually started the tank about 8 months ago, then it crashed due to the death of an urchin and my brain coral. IT WAS HUGE. it bounced back pretty quickly, this new set up is almost 2 months old and of course I used live sand Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 just a note, for those reading. in the coming months I will be starting a new thread for a custom build. I may get started on it this week.... but it will be a long while til it has anything living it. a custom 10 gallon, split into a 5 gallon fuge and 5 gallons of viewing area, its gonna be a macro paradise Link to comment
chuckfullservice Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Well I must say your doing a great job I love the angler excellent choice ! Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Well I must say your doing a great job I love the angler excellent choice ! thank you! I think after today that I'm going to have to kick this new 10 gallon split macro project into high gear, my angler is starting to enjoy the back of my tank and I have to feed him out of the net. since my snails like to eat ghost shrimp too. so he can grow into the 10 gallon, then when he gets too big for it I'll have my 29 gallon ready to go for him Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 holy crip its a crapple my thread 3000+ views just realized that thanks to all that have been looking Link to comment
