jiriki76 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 They are still out and about this morning. I didn't add them to the 120g. They are TINY. They would fly right through the slots of my overflow. I need to put some netting up. I added them to my "legacy" seahorse/pipefish tank. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Can I see pics of your Legacy tank? Link to comment
jiriki76 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 It's ugly... I don't even have real lights over it anymore because I sold it.. in anticipation of moving to the 120g. I'll get a pic tonight. The Janns seem to like the darkness.. they don't move out the lighted areas much. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I never knew pipefish were nocturnal. Link to comment
jiriki76 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 You can barely see its head. Both splendid garden eels are alive and poking their heads out.. once in a while. FTS. You can see the "shelf" i made to hold back the sand for the garden eels. Unfortunately, only 1 is in there. There's an emtpy clam with green zoas on the lid, green star polyps glued to the overflow box and a gorgonia frag on the left. Link to comment
jiriki76 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 I added a tank-bred sunrise dotty back. It's actually really cool. He hides in the empty clam and pokes his head out. However, I have a tinge of regret.. I think he might eat my sexy shrimps. Anyone out there have those guys? Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I see the garden eel!!!! I have not owned one but dottybacks can be super aggressive! I don't think it's safe with seahorses, pipefish, and maybe even garden eels. :/ Link to comment
jiriki76 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hmm.. Might have to retink that one then. He doesn't seem to be messing with the garden eels so far. He can probably go into my 180g. I have a tang that will put him in his place Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 You have a 180g? Awesome! Link to comment
jiriki76 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 I do.. water volume in this house is starting to get out of hand... Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 How many other tanks do you have? Link to comment

jiriki76 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 and no pics/ threads? come on man! you've been holding out on us. I know. I have been... Been too busy... But I did get new additions: 2x Purple firefish Another pom pom crab.. I have two total 2x Janns Pipefish 2x spotted garden eels 2x splendid garden eels are currently on hold at the LFS The Sunrise dottyback leaves most things alone except for the firefish. He was aggressive but seems to be okay with them now. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 The tank is definetly coming together. The new additions sound sweet! Pics Link to comment
jiriki76 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 I'm working on it. Tank is looking a little crappy. Algae has gone a bit crazy. My cleanup crew isn't big enough so I am looking around for possibly a blue spotted seahare. Of course, that comes with the caveat... It may eat my macro. So... to the 180g it goes if it mows down my macro. I kinda like having two tanks. I also added a Rainfordi goby. It came from the legacy seahorse tank. I have a bunch of corals I need to sell. After transferring all the corals over to the 120g so I can break down the 29g seahorse, my sandbed is just a trail of misc soft corals. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Why not talk to John @ ReefCleaners? That sandbed full of softies kind of sounds pretty cool lol. Link to comment
jiriki76 Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 I definitely am for macro algae and plants. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 He adds ncie macros all the time. Heck, why not get some new macros and beef up your clean up crew Link to comment
jiriki76 Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 I just got a blue spotted seahare He rocks. Mowing down hair algae the second he hit the glass. I picked up an ORA Boreallis colony too for the 180g. Yeah I know.. you want pics... I'll take some tomorrow. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I love the various sea hares! Too bad they can bomb your tank Link to comment
jiriki76 Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 I love the various sea hares! Too bad they can bomb your tank If they get chopped up by a powerhead or left to die.. there's a possibility. This one has quadrupled in size.. i'm not kidding. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Wow that's gotten pretty big! Link to comment
