bird Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 They are adorable. You are a lucky guy to have such a crew at hand. You do know the tang will be too large for the tank in no time though? Link to comment

You are a lucky guy to have such a crew at hand.You do know the tang will be too large for the tank in no time though? Oh yeah. It will break their hearts if i told them to return it though. So I'll keep it for as long as I can untill then. Link to comment

dexter1080 Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Oh my gosh. I would love to add this to my tank.It has amazing colors. I don't know where to get it but I would really love to. I think that it's a Ricordia but I'm not sure. Any ideas? Absolutely beautiful. Link to comment
dexter1080 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Here are a few new pictures. A few of the tank, my sea cucumber, my new blue tang and some good video too. Ricordia rock. Cool shot from down low. My new blue tang and clown fish posing for the camera. Watch this sea cucumber eat. It's fascinating! Link to comment

SaltFish Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I read your whole thread and your tank is awesome! I bought the same tank this Xmas I will be setting it up in a few days, and I can't wait. I just watched the video of your sea cucumber eating and that is the most awesome thing I have seen. I am definitely getting one of those eventually. I have a question. Regarding changes to your tank, I think the only modification that you've made is that you got rid of the bio balls and have media baskets? What exactly is your setup and what kind of maintenance schedule do you have, etc.. Congrats on a great tank! Link to comment

It's tough at first but you'll get the hang of it. I feel honored that I am your first post! thanks for the compliment by the way. I don't be too much maintenance besides cleaning around the front of the glass and replacing the filter floss weekly. I do water changes probably about every three weeks or so, I put in about 5 gallons of new water. Everybody on here seems like they use some sort of special water but to tell you the truth, I just go to the store and get filtered water. Mix the salt and heat it up for a few days. Then my caregivers and neighbor girls help me do water changes. I put a bit of time into it weekly and it seems to be just fine for me. I would get rid of the bio balls and put chemipure in the back. it works great for me and is very inexpensive. keep in touch man. I would love to see your progress. Link to comment
dexter1080 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 It's my birthday and I just turned 30 years old. Boy it feels weird. I got a great new knobby starfish from a good friend of mine and a beautiful new gorgonian coral for myself. A great deal for $14.95 I'll get a few pictures and post them shortly. Link to comment
dexter1080 Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 My new Gorgonian. Wow, it's beautiful! Here are a few other random pictures I took. A few of the Blue Tang my mom got me for Christmas Link to comment
weeber Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Happy Birthday!!! this tank is coming along nicely and i hope u know the gorgo is Non-photosynthetic but i dont think it will be a problem because u can keep the sea cucumber which is similar in care. Link to comment
