Militant Jurist Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 those montis make your 75 look like a nano! Is that blue background painted? Yeah it does! The 20L has a blue background, and my 29 and 75 are both black. I've used Krylon fusion to paint all three. It's looking like the group buy for a LA order is becoming a reality! I've got two other people wanting to do it, so shipping costs are dropping fast! * Guess I should have checked the thread I created locally... now it's looking like 6 people. Link to comment
Militant Jurist Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 that gorg looks great. Thanks! I still have a hard time believing that I found it in the cheap frag tank! Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Didja get the LA order in before they sold out of Kole's?? Link to comment

Militant Jurist Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Didja get the LA order in before they sold out of Kole's?? No. But, I did say that I was leaving it up to fate, so I guess this is a sign. However, since shipping will be next to nothing for this group order, I'm still going ahead with it. I think instead I'll get a pair of tank-bred clowns, a yellow wrasse, and maybe a cool invert. Maybe a skunk or blood cleaner shrimp? A Green Lace Gorgonian? Or something else, if someone has a good suggestion! Just no crabs. Yeah, you should I'm always surprised at how many CORA people are on this site! Link to comment
jiriki76 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I do love my yellow eye kole tang. Very peaceful. CONSTANTLY grazing and keeping all the rock in my 180g clean of algae. It's funny to see all the lip marks on the glass as well. A juvi chevron tang is on my wish list as soon as I see one on sale or someone selling it. Also in the bristletooth family like a kole tang.

Militant Jurist Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 me either. I was about to blame you, so glad you said something. I do love my yellow eye kole tang. Very peaceful.

A juvi chevron tang is on my wish list as soon as I see one on sale or someone selling it. Also in the bristletooth family like a kole tang. A chevron tang would be awesome! A very cool fish, even more cool than the purple, IMO. I think the algae is another reason it's probably a good thing I'm waiting on the kole. Right now, I don't have much other than the macro, and the macro hasn't grown enough to be able to stand up against the onslaught of a tang! Link to comment
Militant Jurist Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 I got the small monti and gorgonian finally mounted tonight, so I decided to take pictures. I also found my engineer's house. Link to comment
Militant Jurist Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 It's shaping up nicely. Thanks! Link to comment
spanko Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Nicely done. Coming along now. Link to comment

Macro will never grow fast enough to suffer the onslaught of a tang. Assuming the tang eats it. My tang does not eat all varieties. Just some. Link to comment

Assuming the tang eats it. My tang does not eat all varieties. Just some. Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. The more edible algaes will be moved into a fuge once I get a tang, so that I can have a macro farm protected from the tang. I just like having fresh food available where I can! So, you've gotta love it when things like this happens: I filed a lawsuit in the winter, and settled out of court. After I got the settlement check, I forgot all about it. Then, today in the mail, I get a check from the court, refunding certain costs I had paid, but were not actually incurred before the settlement notice got to the court. I got a nice little check today (nothing major, but still, nice!) I might add a little extra something to my LA order now. Link to comment
Militant Jurist Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 My group order was placed last night with LA, so it should arrive tomorrow! The yellow coris was out of stock, and I decided to wait on the gorg, to see how my first one fairs over a longer period of time. My final ordered ended up consisting of two Ocellaris Clownfish, Tank Bred ; one Multicolor Lubbock’s Fairy Wrasse and one Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. Link to comment

I almost bought one too. I ordered Janns pipefish instead. Link to comment
Militant Jurist Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 I can't wait to see the Fairy Wrasse. I almost bought one too. I ordered Janns pipefish instead. If it's anywhere near as colorful as the picture on LA, I'll be happy with it. The Janns pipefish is very cool though! Link to comment
fewskillz Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 If it's anywhere near as colorful as the picture on LA, I'll be happy with it. I've yet to meet a fairy wrasse I didn't like. I'm sure you'll be happy with it. Link to comment
Militant Jurist Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 I've yet to meet a fairy wrasse I didn't like. I'm sure you'll be happy with it. I've heard they have fantastic personalities, so I'm looking forward to seeing him cruising the tank! Between the wrasse and the clowns, my engineer should hopefully come out from his rock cave a bit more. I hope the shrimp doesn't take up station in the future home of my acros. Link to comment
