Illuiix Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Mmm, honestly I'm liking it so far. Just a tad slow, since reef-a-plooza takes forever to come by (this coming Saturday). I have like $400 saved up for it. Going to get my 2nd/3rd scolys there along with my bml 20k light. 2 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 accurate color of the lighting, not so much some of the corals though. Mmm, honestly I'm liking it so far. Just a tad slow, since reef-a-plooza takes forever to come by (this coming Saturday). I have like $400 saved up for it. Going to get my 2nd/3rd scolys there along with my bml 20k light. good luck! hope you find some gems! 5 Quote Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 You probably overdid it 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Careful with phyto! That stuff touches my tank I get algae outbreaks! i've been using it for almost 2 years. the phytoplankton and azox never had a problem... that's odd Quote Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Holy ####, man. I would NOT have just put something that expensive without QT, especially with other fish that you just added. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Holy ####, man. I would NOT have just put something that expensive without QT, especially with other fish that you just added. i live dangerously. nah, the LFS has its own QT system in the back and before each fish is put on display it goes through 6 weeks of QT. (i know, i've seen the system) besides, i'll let you in on a little secret.... it was only $107 (and i'm debating on taking the tang back, he's a bit of a d***) Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 $107.... then that's not a candy basslet, it's a Swales Swissguard basslet, Liopropoma swalesi. 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 $107.... then that's not a candy basslet, it's a Swales Swissguard basslet, Liopropoma swalesi. nope, they had those there too. its definitely not one of those. Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Look at the tail. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Look at the tail. you're right. its also known as an "indonesian candy basslet" http://www.marinehabitat.co.uk/indonesian-candy-basslet-liopropoma-swalesi/ but mine looks nothing like that. there's no orange, its pink and red with blue fins. looks like this: http://www.petco.com/product/112804/Swalesi-Basslet.aspx i guess the money is in the name...

jedimasterben Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 The Petco picture is nothing like any Swissguard I've seen lol, but yeah, I've seen a lot of places before get 'candy' basslets that are just swalesi. The cheapest I've ever seen L. carmabi (the real candy) go for is around $600. 1 Quote Link to comment
