Obi's Shallow Reef- Midas blenny and Pistol shrimp sharing den

[BRADYBUNCH7]

I had a nice 20G FW cichlid tank back in the 90's when I was a kid, but it doesn't compare! Congrats!

Thanks again!

how much was it all?

[NorthGaHillbilly]

Really awesome to see a "kid", I dont say that in a negative way I was a kid, 13, when I had my first reef, do ALL his research and start off with a KILLER tank! Im really impressed, I wish my first tank was as well thought out. Im following along.

Wow thanks for the kind words! I have a long way to go! But you'll get to see my progress!

Still figuring out fish... Cuz it's topless

Any Ideas?

 

I've found wrasses to be particularly jumpy. I've lost a leopard and a yellow coris... found them both on the floor.

 

I think gobies and jawfish as well...

[Roshan8768]

All fish jump, especially in a shallow tank. Get a mesh top and save yourself the $ lost on perfectly healthy fish

Of coral or fish?

Everything.

[BRADYBUNCH7]

Everything.

Lots of LPS

Some Sps

RICS

Designer Clowns and a goby

[amphipod]

Ah, what kind of goby?

[BRADYBUNCH7]

Oh and a midas blenny

for gobies- Yasha or yellow clown

[amphipod]

If I may, I suggest for a fish with a ton of personality, any various scorpaeniformes, they can imprint very well with owners. Some exceptions.

Man I love the look of a shallow....I want one...Keep up the good work I'll be following along !

Yes my LFS has the most beautiful purple tilefish Obviously my tank is too small...

Does the BRS tank 1/4 cover work with rounded edges or just 90 degree angles

[Reefkid88]

This tank is just insane crazy... I envy you,and I'm 12 years older than you..

[BRADYBUNCH7]

Thank you very much!

I think I have moon jelly polyps

I think they came in on a frag plug! Should I be worried that they are gonna infest my tank? I looked it up but can't find ANYTHING

[Reefkid88]

So you somehow managed to aquire a immature jellyfish ?! They don't do well to water changes so,do big water changes so kill it or the population. Of just scrape it off and siphon it out.

 

I found quite a bit of info on them online lol.

[BRADYBUNCH7]

Okay seem to of removed all with tweezer! Thanks for the response
