Needreefunds Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Buddy, I know they all said the same thing but- I just gotta say it .... What an incredible shot! Must be something to observe at home, but to capture it well, we all know how hard that can be. Thanks for posting that for us all to enjoy Eugene! Awesome! Link to comment
Rehype Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thanks alot buddy. I've only been able to catch them doing that a total of 2 times. I was lucky the second time they hung around like that for a few minutes. But that was just enough time to snap a couple of pics. Those two have a very interesting relationship. Link to comment

Rehype Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Ive actually had him for a few weeks now.Hes only about 2" across. Link to comment
becact Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hype: how do you deal with the silencer on the skimmer? Since it is heavy, mine just kind of falls over. Did you remove yours? Thinking about doing that myself. On such a small pump it shouldn't make very much air noise. Have you noticed any algal/bacterial blooms from the zeovit yet? Link to comment
Rehype Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 I just let it hang over the back of the tank. It does help because without the airline tubing makes a bit of a whistling noise. Since my tank is in my bedroom i couldnt afford to leave it off. I have noticed an algae bloom but its confined to the fuge area.In the main tank my cuc hasnt allowed any traces of it Link to comment
timdanger Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Ive actually had him for a few weeks now.Hes only about 2" across. this is a neat little guy. My wife was actually petitioning for a blue linckia, but i've been concerned about their long-term viability in a smaller aquarium and what it will do to my pod population. you liking him so far, though?

becact Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Do stars eat pods? I will have a mandarin so can't have anything to compete with it. Link to comment
Rehype Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Do stars eat pods? I will have a mandarin so can't have anything to compete with it. linckia stars dont feed on pods at all. So your mandarin has nothing to worry about. Link to comment

Yea hes pretty cool. Ive had a blue linckia in the past i had one for about a year and a half before i sold him to another reefer when i was breaking down the tank. They dont prey on pods but i would recommend having alot of live rock as they seem to eat things off the live rock as well as leftovers. I can only speculate as to what they actually feed on but it had to be sustaining itself on something since i never fed him directly. Link to comment
Rehype Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Well I decided to add a flasher wrasse to the mix as my last addition.However midas the blenny was becoming more and more belligerent toward this latest addition. So after one attack i decided to remove the wrasse and sell him to a fellow reefer. Oddly he was really easy to catch. A few days go by and the blenny goes postal and pretty much attacks everyone in the tank i wake up to find nearly all my fish have small nips in their fins. So at this point im pretty pissed and decide to remove the blenny...Long story short i pretty much had to break down my aquascape to catch this jerk. So goodbye to midas the blenny and goobye to the wrasse. On the bright side i got a few shots of the wrasse before i took him out. Notice hes flashing only because the blenny is harassing him...Nevertheless such a beautiful fish. Link to comment

Btw rehype your inbox is full so you might wanna sort through some of it. I've been trying to send you a message but your inbox is full. I love your tank. Where do you buy your fish?? Link to comment
Rehype Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Thanks alot Johnny. I cleaned my inbox is clean now so feel free to pm. I buy all my fish from my LFS. Link to comment
Rehype Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 I meant to add if your in the NJ area the name of the fish store is Aquatic Obsessions. Probably the best live stock selection in NJ. IMO Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 That wrasse was gorgeous! Much neater than the midas blenny (little jerk). What are your plans to replace them? A second picasso or an onyx? Link to comment
Rehype Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Yea i was totally bummed out from the blenny going pycho but I actually picked up some replacements today. Ill be posting up some pics shortly. Link to comment
