tyty Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 I took some underwater pics inside the tank: Link to comment
johnmaloney Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Well, it looks like the inverts flipped the script on the Hairy Blenny... The serpent star grabbed the Blenny and made a meal of him this morning. I think the serpent star may be evicted from this tank soon. I suppose they look a bit like a mohawk: I made it out today before the storm and caught some new Sgt Majors and a few other things... oops, you already got ideas on those... looks like a freckled sea hare Link to comment
tyty Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Updates? I had to stay out of the water for a couple weeks because I had LASIK, so nothing new for now. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I hope to see some updates soo Link to comment
Curly Joe Reefer Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 cool tank. I was thinking of setting something similar up. I wish I was still down in that area so I could wade out and get stuff. Link to comment
tyty Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 New ricordea and old pistol shrimp that came as a hitchhiker on my live rock. I've been trying to get a picture of this guy for months, he decided to come out to pick at a ricordea that I just put in the tank. New Rock anemone Sergeant major damsels, ricordea, favia, sally lightfoot crab. I finally had two sergeant major damsels survive long enough to grow too big for the chalk bass to eat. One of them has tripled in size in just a couple of weeks. An anemone decided to split, now I have two of them Yellow sea whip from Sea Life Inc is still doing great, had it for a couple months now.

got2envy Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Wow! looks great tyty! that pistol shrimp has some nice colors Link to comment
bhskicker18 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I've been wanting to set up a 75 gallon tank with a Pinfish, a Pigfish, and maybe a Silver Sand Trout. This just makes me want to even more. Too bad I can't afford it lol. But I think its neat how you put what you catch in your tank, to me that would make it even more special. Link to comment
thesmallerthebetter Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 just now saw this thread awsome tank man, lovin the biotope theme thought maybe i cud help with a few things. the barnacle appears to be a Lepas sp. of some kind, and the "mystery fish" looks like a bluefish or similar species of jack-like fish. great tank again man, makes me want to finish collecting parts for my Pacific coast biotope Link to comment
tyty Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Thanks for all of the comments. The pistol shrimp is really hard to get good pics of, but here is another OK one New rock/flower anemone (makes 2 in the tank now) At least one of the sea hare eggs that I had a few months ago survived. I saw a small clone of the sea hare I had. One of the sergeant major damsels has turned into a bully and constantly chases the smaller sergeant major around the tank. If it starts to chase the other fish, I'm afraid his days in the tank will be numbered.... thought maybe i cud help with a few things. the barnacle appears to be a Lepas sp. of some kind In that case, coral banded shrimp eat Lepas sp... it didn't even make it 24 hours Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 That Rock Anemone is sweet! Link to comment
tyty Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 That Rock Anemone is sweet! Thanks, first order from reefs2go.com and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the livestock they sent and the packaging. They even included airline tubing for acclimation and an ice pack. The only fish I ordered didn't make it, but I don't think it was for lack of care in packaging and I'm confident that they will resolve the minor problem. I ordered from there since they have free shipping to FL. Link to comment
got2envy Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Woo! I just ordered from them and received everything in great shape too...the only thing that they didn't send was a pom pom crab I had on my order, but everything else made it perfect! Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hands-down, the most entertaining thread I've read in a while! Thanks 4 sharing... Link to comment

Hero Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I'm sure I missed it somewhere, but what kind of fish are they? Link to comment
