Kfmmartin19 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Dang where'd u get that clown?? Link to comment
Javious Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The clowns are awesome looking. How about a FTS? I've been considering Xenia, why are getting rid of yours? Everything looks great! Link to comment
sfg Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Dang where'd u get that clown?? Someone local had them on consignment at a LFS. They are a mix of fancy/Wyoming whites. Or as SA calls them, saddle backs. I plan on taking a shot at breeding them in the future. The two pics are 2 diff fish. The clowns are awesome looking. How about a FTS? I've been considering Xenia, why are getting rid of yours? Everything looks great! Thanks. I'll try and take a FTS when it gets darker. Too much of a reflection during the day. The xenias are growing like crazy. And while I love the look, it's too much to keep up with given the size of the tank. I may setup a small Xenia island and maintain them from there. Link to comment

U should definitely try breeding them. Any idea what they're worth? 1 Link to comment
sfg Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 I demand a fts now! Lol, later tonight. It's a "busy" nano. Almost too much stuff. Cool. U should definitely try breeding them. Any idea what they're worth? I was told about $130-$150 each retail. That's not what I paid. But if I breed them I would let them go for cheap. Maybe that price for 2, prob cheaper than that depending on how involved it it is. Link to comment

Awesome price for an awesome fish! Link to comment
GrandeGixxer Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 There is a lot involved in breeding, do some reading up. It is pretty interesting for sure. Those are a beautiful pair for sure! How do you like the skimmate slimmer? Link to comment
Boomsnapp Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Wow, your Nuvo is amazing. You went all out, especially with the IM skimmer and spin streams. My nuvo 16 is just getting started. Let me know how that skimmer works, Im planning on getting one in the future. And seriously man, get a FTS ASAP! lol Link to comment

How do you like the skimmate slimmer? Thanks! The skimmer is still new. Out of the box I had to make a slight modification to the intake nozzle on the pump.. other than that it seems ok at the moment. Still not tuned in just yet. It's a tight fit for sure, but then again, my whole tank is a tight fit.. I've outgrown it livestock wise in 5 months.. =) Wow, your Nuvo is amazing. You went all out, especially with the IM skimmer and spin streams. My nuvo 16 is just getting started. Let me know how that skimmer works, Im planning on getting one in the future. And seriously man, get a FTS ASAP! lol working on it! Thanks! Link to comment

JCG66 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Center sps column is really cool makes the small layout of the nuvo look bigger hahah Link to comment
sfg Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 When I bought the tank I bought the two 6 lb rocks on either side. Fiji at $7 a lb without giving it ANY thought. I got home and set everything up and then several months later it dawned on me that in all my preparation the scape slipped my mind. The center column was my attempt to break up the symmetry of the scape, and in turn it just added to the cluster. Lol. It's ok, but the scape is going to be thought out way ahead of time on my next tank. Which hopefully is sooner than later. I love the nano, but I've quickly outgrown it. I will keep it as a nem/clown only tank once I get my shallow cube. Link to comment
