inspiring 29 gallon. Just started mine 2 weeks ago. Love the yellow clown

 

thanks! I just recently transferred him to my bro's 5.5g. His real, permanent home. He's a wonderful little fella. He's timid to eat. But I know when he's full.

 

I feed red granules every now and then. When he stuffs himself full of it. You can actually see the red granules in his stomach! Haha

I had no problems with him at all! Catching him was the hard part. Haha

 

He was bought on sale for $3 at my LFS. The sale was only that day, so I HAD to bag him. But, my brothers 5.5g wasn't ready to accommodate any fish.

 

He is now happy as can be inside the 5.5g. He swims alot while we are not around. I can get a good angle of the tank from the mirror next to the tank. But when I step into the room he quickly hides.

Goodluck man! I'm pretty sure you can find a good deal on one! Or even acouple. If you read back in my thread my buddy got them in a pair. 2 for $5 for my bday. Sadly the red one didn't make it. I heard they also have lime colored ones!

 

Dud thats awsome

 

Thanks, I wish I kept track of all the pieces I did through highschool. But idk, if you want something lost, leave it up to me. LOL

I'll try to get a pic up ASAP of the frag when it was first put in my tank.

 

I don't know the 100% ID on that acro. But it is one of my favorite pieces. :D

What filtration/refuge do you run on this setup?

 

For the whole tank, I only run a fuge + some filter floss in the first chamber. Other than that, 30lbs of LS and 36lbs of LR + the 7lbs in the fuge.

 

Looking good Smurf

 

I have a 29 gallon right now with 175 watts of MH.

 

Will be following thread.

Started my bro's tank about a month ago

11-20-2008001.jpg

 

Seeing his personality before I put him in my tank. I bought a red one and a green one. I have some stray caulerpa in my 29 and wanna see if he can do the trick. I fed both of them caulerpa. The green one is more friendly, I woke up and saw his leg tore off. I think The red one went into hiding after a rumble with him? Who knows, but as far as aggression goes. He shows none towards any other inverts. He pretty much keeps to himself. Hehe. We'll see if he'll be fine. One question though... Do emerald crabs get along with acro crabs? I have several.

11-20-2008003.jpg

 

Yup.. he's on WOW

Thanks for lookin! It's friday night... Just cashed out to get my 24" outorbit. omgomgomg omgomgomg omgomgomg can't wait!!! omgomgomg omgomgomg omgomgomg

 

Also, my phosphates are in check. So are my nitrates/nitrites.

 

As you can see I'm getting pretty bad GHA. I thought with more water changes I would see it subside. NOPE. :( These are persistent buggers. I yanked most of it all about 2 months ago. They grew back, and they grew back deeper. When I try to yank it off now, the GHA makes me lift my whole rock up. :angry:

 

What are my options?

Anyone know how many chromis' my system can take? Given the amount of fish I already have?

 

I am getting a 10g fuge soon also. Increasing water volume will make it better on the load. But do I need the gallonage for the display?

Link to comment

I say about 3 chromis :huh: But why dun you try other nano fishes of other variety ike gobies, they are my favourites :happy:

Btw, you've got a nice tank, doggie and room. Nice work on that graffiti!

What dog is that? Is cute. Looks like a chihuahua too me but it seems alittle too big for it size. But it looks bore in the pics. Or you are neglecting your doggie for your tank :P

 

Opps, btw is a male or female? :happy:
