disaster999 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 if you plan on keeping the clown but just need to find it a temp home, the 5.5gal would work for now. but if you dont want to keep it, just sell it back to the LFS for store credit Link to comment
tyty22 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 i plan on figuring something out this week end. if i can sell him back to my lfs then i will if not i will keep him in here for a little bit until i can figure something else out. Link to comment

tyty22 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 haha thanks i kind of like it that way. i trim it back every once in a while. i finally made it back from skiing, no broken bones but the past 3 days about the whole condo was really sick with some nasty virus. well its the final strech for this tank im going to get a few small frags some time soon maybe some sexy shrimp. im happy to say everything is growing great and quite fast This contest has been fun i hope it has been for all the rest of you too. i have put alot of work into this little tank and i hope to have it up and running for a long time until it is completely full of coral.

tyty22 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 finally made a trip to the lfs i got a frag of some really nice purple zoas. and i finally got some cheato for my fuge. for a fuge light i used a cheap 10in under counter light left over from our kitchen renovation my dad paid like $10. its under 15 so i believe its considered free Budget left $64.31 dark purple zoas--$32 purple w/ green tips frag--$14 small clump cheato--$2 fuge light--$10(FREE<$15) budget remaining-- $48.31 my fuge is so empty... next trip to the lfs im going to pick up some lrr but that still wont fill it completely. what else should i put in there? Link to comment
BibleSue Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Nice additions! I wouldn't add lrr unless you don't have enough LR. It is a pain to clean the fuge lrr. I would just have a nice amount of chaeto. Link to comment
tyty22 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 really no, lrr but the more live rock the better this fuge wouldn't be to hard to clean i made it so i can easily remove it from the setup completely. Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 the hitchhiker is a kenya tree. they grow really fast and are goos money makers. Link to comment
tyty22 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 cool i take it you meant there expensive? its not doing to well now its hanging in there but its pretty small and doesn't seem to be growing very much. Link to comment
