DCG1286 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Well I think I am finally happy with where my tank is ... got my fish ... I love this Powder Blue tang ... takes food right out of my hand ... very cute ... All of my stuff is growing ... very quickly at that ... the only thing I could ask for are a few my inverts ... Cleaner Shrimp ... and a few other things ... Dosing 1ml of vodka per day ... The cyano in my fuge finally cleared up ... VEEERRRRYYYYY happy about that ... before it looked like a swamp ... so gross ... I got some more chaeto and removed some of the Caluerpa that was growing like wildfire down there ... Making some baggies to give this stuff away ... Dr. Cooper I got a bag for you ... with some of the biggest pods around. :D -David Link to comment

I still need some more rock though, so about 1/3 of the tank only has one big rock there but the rest is good. Link to comment

More fish ... lol ... nah ... I am totally maxxed out on fish ... I think I can maybe get away with a pair of mandarins ... that's about it ... I actually like minimal rock work these days ...

Marteen Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Another tank already! You just got that one! I guess you'll really have to get rid of the couch and TV and possibly your bed just to fit all the tanks. Really digging your clam David where did you get them? I know NY aquarium services had some last time I was there I think once I get my LEDs set up I'm going to try some SPS and see how they do. Then I may try my hand at a clam. Going to need a skimmer first though. Link to comment

I was going to get rid of all of the furniture ... and fill this place with tanks LOL!!! :D I don't think the landloRd will be too happy, but that's ok! My clams ... let me see ... The smallest crocea, I picked up from Greenwich Aquaria, I gave a concert up there ... then stopped by right after ... lol ... the other Crocea came from an MR member ... He is bringing a number of them in ... it's like 3 1/2-4" ... The giant squamosa I picked up over the summer ... the guy that had originally owned my tank, was breaking it down and selling all of his stuff ... Why I left with an 11" clam ... I will never know. NYAS has some pretty good stuff ... the clams in particular ... -David Link to comment

The 90G has only been up for 2 1/2 months ... but I kept all my rock and most of the water from my two old systems ... which were running 8-9 months. Oh man ... I am so sorry to hear about your losses Man ... don't give up ... believe me ... I know what you are going through ... I had 6 reef tanks at one point ... then the power outage here in 2003, wiped out so much of my stuff ... fish ... corals ... the works ... it's absolutely horrible!!! Don't give up ... See always look at the positive!!! LOL ... more fish ... Speaking of the Moorish Idol ... if you have the patience and dedication to keep it fed and make sure it has the proper environment to thrive in ... here is a nice article for you written by a friend of mine in Portugal. http://www.manhattanreefs.com/magazine Just click the link where is says about keeping the Moorish Idol ... he is one of the very FEW I know that has been able to keep this fish. -David Link to comment
