reefrook Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 cool! I'll go pick one up from them today, I haven't heard about them thanks sooo much np Link to comment
reefrook Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 after having fish like mandarins, blennies, jawfish, wrasse, etc., i have to admit that my favorite is still clownfish. so…. right away they bring so much more life to the aquarium. after a couple hours they are already running laps around the tank, enjoying the flow from the powerheads. it seems they are loving all the open space. i've had true and false percs, onyx and picassos. so i thought it was time for some b&w's thanks for looking!

sweet<3 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Nice tank! I just got a tribal blenny about two weeks ago and I put it into my tank and within an hour he had killed two sps frags. Just a heads up, there is a debate as to whether or not they are reef safe and mine definately is not sps safe. I saw that you plan on sps so just thought I would share! Link to comment
reefrook Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Nice fish! +1 thanks guys. Link to comment
ThePhilosopher Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Fantastic tank and aquascape. Interesting choice of fish, if I do say so myself. And by the way, cute dog. Link to comment

I saw that you plan on sps so just thought I would share! funny you mentioned that. when i picked up the clowns, the lfs owner told me that her tribal blenny went loco on her monti and scoly. it's a shame cause they're such great looking fish. as i start to add corals, i'll make sure to keep a close eye. thanks for the heads up!

phi delt reefer Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 With so little rock u may want to consider adding rock to ur sump to increase bio filtration. Nice setup though, sorta wish I went bigger with mine. Link to comment
reefrook Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Updates!!! unfortunately, there isn't much to update. all fish are healthy and doing great. still no corals due to all the new furniture we've been buying for the apt. thanks for looking though! hopefully i got more to report later this month.

reefrook Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 i got nothing for you hype i haven't added/changed anything since the clowns. hopefully by next month i'll start adding some corals Link to comment
reefrook Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 gotta love those "Moving… so need to sell etc." sales. i picked up a SWC 150 skimmer. it's the older models but for the price, i couldn't pass. it's rated for up to 185 gallons…so i think it should be more than enough for my system still finely tuning it but it's already pulled out some dark colored water. i also picked up a powder brown. he's about 2.5in. although my tank is only 60 gal, it's dimensions give the guy 4ft of lateral swimming space. he seems to be enjoying it.

reefrook Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Thats awesome rook....hes a beautiful specimen. thanks hype. i never really noticed how beautiful it was till i saw it at the lfs. it's really an under appreciated fish, imo. Link to comment
reefrook Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 just one update i'm happy about. i picked up a rbta for cheap from a local reefer. the clowns took to it within a couple days. it also added some much needed color to my coral deprived tank. now with the bad news… nothing vigorous water changes can't fix yep…….. ich. i decided with the copper treatment as opposed to hyposalinity. and notice the missing tang. he was the only one that showed signs and symptoms but i figured i'd treat all the fish just to be safe. looks like it's going fallow for 8 weeks or so. hopefully that'll be enough rid the tank of the parasite.

5ergio Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Hi reefrook, I have this problem too and lost my frags and zooantids.....very bad news....

I hope you have a good look with your problem.... Regards-.-- Link to comment

Regards-.-- vodka dosing would probably eliminate my algae problem but i go out of town a lot and would not be able to keep up with the daily regimen. after a couple weeks of water changes and some new bulbs, i think i've got the cyano under control. thanks for the advice though! love your setup! you have really cool fish! definitely subscribing! thanks kathleen!
