Rehype Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 So i picked up my Blue spotted jawfish this evening. I acclimated him with the lights out which i think really helps when introducing new fish. After about 10 minutes in the tank he started constructing his burrow. This fish is so funny to watch. He literally peeks out at you every few minutes to keep track of where you are then goes back to what he was doing. I managed to grab the cam while he was working on his burrow. Quality is kind of crappy bc of compression and lighting but im glad i got something. So enough jawing meet BJ Link to comment

disaster999 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 3rd times the charm huh? i hope insurance covered the tank too Link to comment
Rehype Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 The tank was actually damaged separately by UPS Link to comment
disaster999 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 oh sorry, i mis read, thought you got into an accident WHILE transporting the tank back. that would been pretty F'ed up Link to comment
Rehype Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 So i managed to grab a shot of bj. Its kind of cool how his blue spots appear to glow white under blue leds. Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Awesome little Blue Jaw. I think Jawfish in general are the coolest fish there is. They're just so quirky. Link to comment
Rehype Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Thanks i think so too. They have some of the best personalities as far as fish are concerned. I redid the vid since the first one was so crappy. Check it out if you have a chance Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Looks like you got a healthy, active specimen! I love when they build their burrows, they're so paranoid! Link to comment
Rehype Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Thanks i sure hope he stays that way.I was really happy because he started burrowing almost immediately. And as you can see he eats like a pig! Hes really paranoid but what surprises me is he doesnt mind openly swimming around during the day and late at night. Most jawfish that ive seen rarely venture out of their burrows. Link to comment
burtbollinger Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 your setup is badass... Link to comment
DAHNIC561 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 man this tank looks just like the jbj picotope but 36gal bigger...nice Link to comment
PurpleG Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Awesome tank!! sorry to hear about your shoulder!! Are you feeling better now? I was wondering where you got your LEDs?? How many LEDs do you have?? I'm thinking of asking my friend to build one for me and he's suggesting 18 LED lights for a 22g. I am really tempted to get this tank. I'm upgrading from a BC8 I'm just concerned about the evaporation rate, even though I'm planning to get the glass cover. Speaking of which, does your glass cover the chambers too?? Also, I was wondering how much was your controller that does the light effect? Sounds like an awesome concept and would love to add it to my setup Finally, is a skimmer really necessary for a 22g? man this tank looks just like the jbj picotope but 36gal bigger...nice Link to comment
Lalani Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I thought I had posted on this thread.... maybe it was deleted in the data loss. Ah well, great tank, hype! Link to comment

Thanks alot im doing alot better now. I bought the leds from another reefer but you can buy them directly from reefgeek. Theres 24 leds in each fixture so total of 48. I totally recommend cad tanks. Theyre great and customer service is top notch. The evaporation isnt that bad at all and i have the canopy on(prevent jawfish surfing) and the canopy doesnt cover the back chambers If you get the ghl profilux light its only $300. The package i got not including the doser brand new would cost $552. I wouldnt say its nescessary if you keep up with water changes but it definitely helps. But ive run a few tanks skimmerless for a while with no negative effects. Some corals actually prefer the water a bit "dirty" I thought I had posted on this thread.... maybe it was deleted in the data loss.Ah well, great tank, hype! Thanks lani man this tank looks just like the jbj picotope but 36gal bigger...nice Thanks alot Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thanks for posting the vid Quite the comical fellow Not that I am one to complain, but the topic description is somewhat misleading. I leave slightly disappointed and unsatisfied. Link to comment
