Wilioli Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 it's like the fish are havin a hard time swimming against the current of the maxijet.. so avoid that area... and thats like an awkward slice of the aquarium they can't go to... am i tiring them out?! lol this is gettin addicting... its like i want MORE now.. lol... anyone reading this know anything about marine fusion food? the lfs dude told me to use a cube once every other day, and that because its full of assorted foods i wont have to use other food types for the fish... I see there are 442 views here. prolly cause of the name of the tank... if no one responds then u put the added weight and pressure on mark and newman .. !! Link to comment
.Newman. Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 havent used that food type but it sounds like a decent idea to try when you have plenty of livestock in there that can take advantage of the different types of food. i'd just feed the clowns their staple diet for now. dont be alarmed if they don't take any food for the first few days, mine didnt eat for 3 days i believe. lol wet dream, i wouldnt even have thought of that pun xD Link to comment
Markushka Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 yeah, thats probably the reason for all the hits. newman and I just keep it on top. Link to comment

.Newman. Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 lol too much lolling. how are they doing? Link to comment
Wilioli Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 loltoo much lolling. how are they doing? 'hehe' -- how bout that..? They are doing amazing actually... u were right as usual newmanology -- they are swimming gracefully -- its like the powerhead switched off.. .i actually checked to see if it was working or not... i just feel guilty -- when i put food in the tank i expect it to float in one spot on the top.. like a goldfish bowl.. thats the only type of fish ive ever 'owned' -- anyways, the food blasts all over the tank cause of the current, and they start chasing after like, buggin out and goin buckwild.. I feel guilty cause its like im making them work for their food.. lol.. -- yes i know its fine and dandy, just sayin! Im waitin to post up pics.. ive fixed the water level (haha) and the backgrounds next, -- then ill try posting a pic. tank looks so much better just cause of the addition of the fish. they're pretty small, but i can already tell that a 10 gallon is not enuff for em...

.Newman. Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 its normally not enough. at 3" each they will benefit from a bigger tank in a few years. for the first few days, when I fed mine i'd turn off all flow just to get them used to it. after a while they were able to chase down and get their food. now i can feed them w/o turning anything off. this way some food even gets to the corals sometimes. but clowns can get fast in catching their food, and they do go nuts xD got some pics up in my 10 gal thread, if you feel like checkin Link to comment
Wilioli Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 yea i guess im lucky -- they've totally adapted to the tank -- as in they're eating.. a lot.. and chasing the food and getting it all.. -- i sat thru it for 15 minutes.. giving a little at a time making sure all was well -- but the flow cut off is a good idea for corals when i get to that stage.. will keep that in mind Link to comment
Wilioli Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Whaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! New background and new water level -- dedicated to newman... new lights, and new fish.. check it.. Link to comment

.Newman. Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 no lol, new tank anxiety (i call it that). they'll get used to the tank. as time goes on they will grow more comfortable. Mine from time to time still look at their reflections in the glass and sometimes try to attack them, or sometimes they do want to swim out into what beyond the tank - some green carpet and a large sofa. they aim at the sofa most of the time...good thing I keep the tank covered, even if it does sacrifice some lighting intensity from my fixture. haha, dont forget about Mark as well I would somehow move those shells somewhere in the tank, they kinda look distracting. how do you feel about them? I am also trying to figure out what coral would looks best in this tank - you need something to cover up that powerhead... Link to comment

I'm with you, newman on the shells, but its all about preference in the end. Link to comment
Wilioli Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 nah dudes, i hate the shells.. u have no idea.. i never wanted them there.. i mean hermit crabs were the first things i got, so i read up on them... and then i started to see if they dont have shells to move into, they SUFFER.. lol, so i bought a ton of shells... -- that one massive shell.... im tryin to negotiate outta that one.. my wife got that shell a looong time ago, and that was her addition to the tank -- MUST GO.. lol right, and cover up the powerhead? IS THAT POSSIBLE? lol, remember i was complainin bout that.. the powerhead looks like its takin up waay to much space... right, and about the new tank anxiety -- the bigger one hates the reflection... gunning towards it at all times.. the smaller and dumber one im pretty sure is in love with its reflection... and im pretty sure see's through it and watches me... im pretty sure its got a NECK, and just moves its head... watching... me....

Wilioli Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 check em out.. the little one that doesn't have the darker borders is the dummy.. but he's gonna be the one that becomes the survivor.. i just know.. Link to comment
Wilioli Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Arite mark, newman, anyone? Im having this sand discoloration. Read through the forums, looked at pics, and see that everyone is saying its a fairly normal part of your initial few months of cycling/establishing tank. But now, pretty much over night, the color got so much darker, its not looking like the pics ive been seeing on forums, and it just looks.. bad! that side of the aquarium gets the main window of the house -- wondering if there's an association and if i should cover that side with background paper? anyways, there's bubbles on it, that i read is a good 'sign'... blah.. here's a pic: what do u guys think? Link to comment
.Newman. Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 if bubbles then its algae, likely cyano. welcome to the wonderful world of owning this very exciting type of algae. The smaller clown might become a male but dont be surprised if the two duke it out to see who's superior from time to time. lol yes fish can turn their heads left and right to some degree.
