chrssprngs Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 New corals today. Went to Miami on business and hit some reef places while down there. Darth Maul frag with 3 polyps from one place and then went by Morgan's (Reefgardner.com) and picked up an orange digitata and a maxi-mini. Link to comment

Nice can't wait to see them in the tank and see some pics of how they are doing. Good for you Albert Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Pics this evening. I have the digitata on the bottom of the tank for now. I will work it up to the top over the next week. The mini carpet has found a home where it is visible and not bothering other inhabitants. Not sure of aggressiveness of these guys and Morgan said they prefer lower light. Nice can't wait to see them in the tank and see some pics of how they are doing. Good for you Albert Link to comment

metrokat Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm pretty sure I'm the only one that can't follow what these pictures are, what can I say I'm having a moment. Which is the skimmer and which is the HOB? The HOB is installed on the skimmer? Link to comment

chrssprngs Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Picked up a small chalk bass today. From what I've read, they are very reef safe and make a nice tank mate if placed with similar non aggressive fish. I think he's going to fit in nicely with Sebae Clown and Orange Spotted Goby. Pics to follow. The price was right too. $12.00. Link to comment
Poseidon. Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Nice little tank Do you have any surface skimming on this tank? Also, you said you use NSW for you water changes. Which brand, or do you go and collect it yourself? Link to comment

Which brand, or do you go and collect it yourself? No surface skimming. I get the saltwater from a local provider. I pay 25 cents a gallon. Never have put any mix on this tank. Link to comment

I posted some pics of two on my thread ... and yes they are IME great little fish but I would get more than just one (my opinion) Albert Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 I read that if more than one are housed together they should be introduced together. It is a good size. (1.5"). I saw one in a large display tank that was about 3". Link to comment
straydog Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I Had a tobacco basslet in my tank about 2.5 " long, I added a shark nose goby which it thought was food and tried to swallow it head hirst. So the tobacco basslet found a new home and i had to buy a new shark nose. Link to comment

So the tobacco basslet found a new home and i had to buy a new shark nose. Quote from DoctorsFosterAndSmith This basslet is a hardy aquarium species and kept in a reef with caution. It can pose a threat to small crustaceans and fish, especially damselfish, gobies, and blennies. A single individual should be maintained in a minimum of a 55 gallon tank, while more than one requires at least 100 gallons. Even so, the Tobacco Fish may try to dominate smaller members of the same species. It is best to introduce the Tobacco Basslet into the aquarium at the same time as other fish. True of all members of the Serranus genus, the Tobacco Basslet is hermaphroditic. As a carnivore, the Tobacco Basslet will thrive on a diet of meaty foods such as finely chopped fresh or frozen marine fish, squid, mysis shrimp, and frozen carnivore preparations.

Spirofucci Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Way cool fishy! Never seen one of those guys before. Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Way cool fishy! Never seen one of those guys before. It was kind of an impulse buy. I was familiar with this species, but only see them on Internet and thought they they had red markings. When I saw this one with cool blue markings and at a great price. Had to have it. LFS means no shipping! Link to comment
