aquatect Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 najluni, did the top of your tank come with the tank or did you build it/buy it separate. It looks like the kind of screen I want to buy (preferably) or make (hope not). Link to comment

It looks like the kind of screen I want to buy (preferably) or make (hope not). I built it. Cheap lowes screen kit and bird netting. Super easy to make. Took 10 minutes. Link to comment
najluni15 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 So another update or my tank. With a little bad news. My kole tang had been getting ich every now and then since I bought him. I didn't qt because I didn't have a large enough tank for a qt for him. Anyway he ended up fitting extremely rapidly even though he was eating a lot and was nice and fat. The ich did not affect any other fish. I'm thinking that the ich ha been in my tank since I first setup a year ago. I had an ich outbreak and lost a few fish then but most of the fish I have now survived that. I also traded my chromis for a monti cap. And still no sign of my leopard wrasse. It's been almost three weeks. I hope he is still alive. I'm dying to go prod around in the sand but keep telling myself he is still alive somewhere in there. Normally when a fish dies all my massarius snails go crazy for a day or two on top of the carcass. Anyway that's it Link to comment
najluni15 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Update Some great news! My leopard wrasse is alive! It has been six weeks since I bought her and she just surfaced two days ago for the first time (at least of what I've seen). I had just fed a frozen concoction that I made for coral and fish. She ate a bit then dove back under the sand after five Minutes. She looked thin but other than that ok. Hopefully she eats more and comes out more and more with time. Also my mandarin ate mysis for the first time today. I was worrying about her eating habits. I have a large fuge teaming with pods but don't see much in the tank. Was worried she eats them too fast but now I know she'll eat frozen mysis even though she won't touch my frozen mix. Also I made rubble bags in the fuge that I'll put in the dt every few days to forcibly add pods. Link to comment
najluni15 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Tank is one year old this week!!!! It's come a long long way and is looking pretty decent so far. Let me know what you think. Link to comment
najluni15 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Update to my tank: I got a second mp-10! These things are awesome. I have one on the back glass and one on the side to make a lot of turbulence. They're both on reef crest so there's a lot of random flow. I also got a coral beauty and a lubocks wrasse. Only problem is that the wrasse was killed by my six line in a day :-( waste of $27 and of a life. I'll post a FTs tomorrow Also the kole tang died of ich and I don't believe the leopard wrasse is still alive as its been another month since I saw him last. So now here is the current fish list 2 false percs Coral beauty Six line (meanie) Diadem dottyback Lyretail anthias YWG Spotted mandarin Bicolor blenny I plan on getting a other wrasse to replace the killed one. I'll get a larger one that the six line can't punk. Link to comment
najluni15 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 So I'm stoked... I have decided that I will try to remove my six line wrasse due to his aggression and lack of appeal to my girlfriend and I will be adding a small blue eyed tang. I ordered one from blue zoo. It will be here Thursday. Hopefully it is healthy and lives a long time. I plan on building a larger tank as soon as I graduate and hopefully land a real job so tang police don't need to show up.
