FishDooD65 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Well here's an update, i submitted some photos of the zoanthids i got to Coral Pedia since i had no luck identifying them on other forums, through the web, and a friend who is a zoanthid/paly guru/junkie lol. I am awaiting a response from them and will see if i have found new zoas and will name them myself! I am keeping my fingers crossed! Link to comment
FishDooD65 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Here are some pics! Electric Oompa Loompa CARs up front (not open) and Miami Vice in the back. I like my springeri damsel Link to comment
bencollinz Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 what size bigger tank? or just back to the 55? Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Springers damsels are awesome Link to comment
FishDooD65 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 what size bigger tank? or just back to the 55? I want a 75 but i am just going to setup my 55 again. it will probably be somewhat cheaper to setup than a 75. eventually i will go to a 125. Springers damsels are awesome My buddy turned me on to them, i love how peaceful it has been and i was told they can eat flatworms or some sort of pest.... i don't know 100%. its color pops in my LED lighting. I will probably get two other ones when i setup my bigger tank Link to comment
bencollinz Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 a 75 sounds like a good stepping stone to the 125. If I had the option and known more at the time I definitely would've gone bigger right off the bat. Link to comment

But yes they will eat flatworms just like a coris or radiant wrasse Link to comment

If I had the option and known more at the time I definitely would've gone bigger right off the bat. Yeah but only one problem, the 75 is not sold in the dollar per gallon sale at petco and the stand will be more expensive. i will also need equipment for a bigger tank. Honestly i think the 55 is my best option, i have my 55 tank and i will get a 20 long for a sump and build it. I can use some of the equipment from my biocube, skimmer, powerheads, and heater. I also have an overflow box, hoses, and return pump from my old setup. i will eventually upgrade to an sca-301 skimmer and a jebao wp25 powerhead. i would also have to get a bigger skimmer, powerheads, and heater for a 75. The cheapest 75 tanks i have found are $135 from a guy on craigs and the stand i am sure will be expensive. the stand for my 55 is $75. Plus, i can use my 55 later as a sump for my 125 build when i get to it. i think its my best option, i am tight on cash. Saving for my wedding. Thanks for contributing to my thread!

bencollinz Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yeah but only one problem, the 75 is not sold in the dollar per gallon sale at petco the only problem there is that neither is the 55 anymore... Link to comment
FishDooD65 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Ive been to worried about my tank to keep up with everyone else lol. Just now starting too. Anytime fishdude I am sure you will have all your issues dealt with and figured out, lots of luck and don't be a stranger. My name is Erwin, nice meeting you. I have always loved your tank and the aquascape is amazing. I hope to design my new structure like yours, its beautiful! the only problem there is that neither is the 55 anymore... But i already have a 55 lol, I kept my old one and didn't sell... i might have not mentioned that lol Link to comment
FishDooD65 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Now the questions are...... should i sell the biocube and stand to make some cash towards the new build? Keep it as a frag tank? Keep it as a quarantine tank for the future? Link to comment

Im sure you can come up with an aquascape like it. As mark (Spiro) always says. Grab some tequilla, hack saw, chisel, hammer, and epoxy putty and get a grove going. I say keep the bc14 for qt. But you could sell it and setup a 10 gallon qt for about 20 bucks Link to comment
