got2envy Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 So wha ha happened wuz...I had once again to many tanks running at the same time and well...life sux and there isn't enough time for all of my hobbies wait...you didn't think I was only reefing...nope...if things were only that simple. I have: started up on Poison dart frogs, so far I have 4 tanks up and running only 3 with frogs and I am raising a azureaus tadpole. 2x leopard geckos 125g reef lots o' guns..that get pricey to shoot. Mazda 3 hatchback...getting some shtuffs...I need speed 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 500r...I ssssaid I like speed and of course a full time job a husband 4 dogs ok so I stuffed 3 nano's into this 40 long 28g, 20H and what was in the 40 macro got moved around. wait! what happened to the macros...yeahhhh about that...I moved all I had left into the cleaned out sump on my 125g...so far they are doing great. I def do not have the assortment that I had prior, but most of my favorites are still kicking..I will be selling during spring time again. Livestock: 2x grade B picasso clowns 2x S'more clowns 1x black clown 3x african firefish (they have bred in the tank) 1x yellow coris wrasse 1x red mandarin dragonet 2x blue eyed cardinals 1x barred goby 1x green clown goby 1x masked goby 1x tangaroan goby 1x yellow watchman goby 2x sexy shrimp 1x porcelain crab 1x strawberry crab 2x peppermint shrimp 1x skunk cleaner shrimp and a CUC from hellz yes 17 fish!!!!!!!!!!!! please do not try this if you are a new reefer...most of these fish are small. random pix of the tank as it is now...I really need to sell some shiz. FTS So far so good...my only real concern are the clowns, no aggression as of yet, but I will most likely need to separate them at some point. Thanks for looking! Maria Link to comment
gena Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 It looks awesome! I hear you on having too many tanks. I tried it and burned out. I was actually out of the hobby for a few months. Sold pretty much everything, tanks and all. Just bought a new NC12 and it's sitting here cycling. I'm going VERY simple this time around. Easy coral, easy routine. I want to actually have a fully grown in reef to enjoy. I'm really liking the looks of your 40. If anyone can do it (that many fish), you can Link to comment
spanko Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Maria, did you have a Kole tang at one time also? Tank looks pretty cool!!! Link to comment

NotTheFace Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 You sound alot like me and my hobbies. I started off keeping rare insects, at one time I had 5 tanks of varying sizes full of critters, a snake and was nearly about to get into dart frogs but ended up moving, and gave away/sold everything I had. Years later I got into reef keeping, just started a 57g upgrade yesterday from my 28g Nanocube. Link to comment
got2envy Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 It is very addicting! but too many reefs can become work and no fun. Good luck on the upgrade! 125g is as big as I will ever go Link to comment
mikellini Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 It's alive!!!! Looking great as usual... I'm about to take down my 40 long, it had been quite stable and served me well over the past few years... and if you're looking for some cheap MH fixtures, I'll give you a great deal in a few weeks!
