Smurf Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Came home to this the other night... But took some pics, its really blue...haha 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 Link to comment

Haha Did you have problems with him on the 29? or just thought to transfer him? .Haha that's funny. At least you know he had some food lol Link to comment

At least you know he had some food lol 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. Link to comment

Smurf Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Sorry for the crappy/loud music quality. Haha I was too lazy to mute out the sound Here's the surface agitation Flow fer the Zoa's Link to comment
Smurf Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Might as well turn this into my blog. I'm too lazy to make a blog on another website. Lol. Just got back from class and snappin some shots. Uploading.... Link to comment
Smurf Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Okay.. Pics are in. Here's how my day started.. Lol Then I CLEANED!!! I just arranged some stuff around I guess.. Still a mess, but more organized. Made room for a work station. Do my testing w/c's other stuff. It's a cool little table. No room though. Lol Mangroves are taking off!! Then this thor, after I got done cleaning Random shots from my tank This ORA birdsnest Looks awesome!!!! Started my bro's tank about a month ago 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. Yup.. he's on WOW Thanks for Looking!! Smurf 11-20-2008 Link to comment
Smurf Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 FTS 11-21-2008 Left side cave. It looks darker than usual. Her zoa's... I made a pole about how to get her to stop nipping and biting. I tried the flicking technique. Doesn't work She is really aggressive with all of the other tank mates.suggestions? I guess this side is gonna be my ric/sofie only side Left side Zoa's Rack update Fuge shot, just trimmed. Sorry for the blurry pic Thanks for lookin! It's friday night... Just cashed out to get my 24" outorbit. omgomgomg can't wait!!! 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. What are my options? Link to comment
Smurf Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 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
j'field Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I say about 3 chromis But why dun you try other nano fishes of other variety ike gobies, they are my favourites 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 Opps, btw is a male or female? Link to comment
