ihatesears18 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Purdy stuff. Gracias! I am so close to ordering some nice zoas online, and a couple of sexy shrimp! Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 I noticed today that I have a ton of tiny Spirorbis on the back wall of my tank These guys are pretty neat to watch and a welcome addition to my tank! Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 BTW Anybody wanna trade some cool zoos/mushrooms/palys/ricordia for my Monti Cap? I realize now that there's now way this thing is gonna thrive under PCs. PM me if interested. Link to comment
Orangutran Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Emerald crab doing good in my bc8. It just keeps to itself and hiding most the time. Comes out at nite to eat the algae. Btw how did you get your fan replaced? Called oceanic? Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 I haven't replaced my fans yet. Both have gone out, so I just prop the lid open for ventilation. The tank is fallow (got ich) so I don't have to worry about jumpers. Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Ok so finally an update. Since my clown died and I can't add fish for about 6 more weeks I've added a few things. Nothing crazy just a few cheap frags that I've picked up around town. So here's an updated FTS and some close ups of my new inhabitants. These are baby blue. Got the frag for $10 These are pink. See the paly with the double mouth? Cool branch that I got for $20. It's covered in coralline and tunicates Close up of zoas on branch This piece has doubled Mushrooms have gone crazy! My red mushrooms Neat looking palys, they have white specs on them and they are a nice purple with a bright green mouth. My florida ricordia. It's just waking up. An orange ricordia that has fallen into a crack and set it's foot down. It's doubled in size since I got it. Top down shot (Crappy camera) Paly with two mouths Baby GSP and a harmless flatworm Well there's the pics, hope you enjoy! Link to comment
nanoreef11 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Tank looks really good. I really like all of the frags you have added. How is the fuge working out for you? Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Thanks! The fuge is working out great, I'm running chemi-pure elite, purigen, and chaeto. My nitrates are at zero and I'll be getting a phosphate test soon. I can't wait to add a fish though, what's a fish tank without fish? Oh and another thing, in the picture of the branch covered in zoas, there's a red thing that I can't identify. It looks like a tiny, bright-red spiked ball. I'm thinking maybe tiny star polyp? sponge? Link to comment
nanoreef11 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Haha just call it a coral tank. What kind of fish are you thinking about getting? Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Haha just call it a coral tank. What kind of fish are you thinking about getting? I love clowns so I think I might go with a black and white false perc. Link to comment
nanoreef11 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I love clowns so I think I might go with a black and white false perc. Well good luck. Let us know when you get one. I bet your excited. Jon Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 I'm going to Europe in August so I'll probably order the fish the day I get back! I figure liveaquaria.com is about my best bet for quality. Link to comment

Yamato Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I got a BC8 too! Nice little tank you got there...are you running stock pumps? It didn't look like you have any additional flow in there either. I would trade with ya, but I am in Ontario canada, kinda far... Link to comment

It didn't look like you have any additional flow in there either. I would trade with ya, but I am in Ontario canada, kinda far... I've got a minijet 606 instead of the stock pump. I had a koralia nano in there but my mushrooms hated it so now it's used to mix salt! Link to comment

ihatesears18 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 I got the nano used for $10 so it's no biggie. Instead of upgrading I'm slowly buying equipment to start a 10gallon with my wife. It should be going by august! Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Sooo I ditched the clown idea (IMO the BC8 is too small for a fully grown clown) and picked up a YWG and a Pistol shrimp today from my LFS. I'll post an updated FTS and some pics of the new goby! Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 So now for the updated pics. The YWG is very hard to photograph right now so the pic of him sucks. The pistol shrimp has taken up residence in the darkest part of the tank so a photo of him is impossible right now. Hopefully they'll find each other and I can get a decent picture soon. First some growth shots: Beginning Middle Now Meet Starsky Can anyone ID this nem in the middle of the pic? That's all for now! Enjoy! Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Bump. Look at my pitchers! Link to comment
