Dylan.N Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Went to Top Shelf today. Got some more snails and hermit crabs. I had red leg hermits in the tank, but I accidentally bought blue leg hermits at the store. Needless to say, there was an all-out war the minute the blues went in the water. There were 2 casualties, things seem to have settled down. Just did a water change. I think it's time for a cleaner shrimp but Top Shelf didn't have any. Might make the 5 minute drive to Living Reef in a little bit. Edit: no one has cleaner shrimps. guess i'll have to wait a week. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 We've got a jumper Came home from work just now and saw no sign of my six line in the tank. I didn't see him last night before I fell asleep either but just thought he had already gone inside a rock to sleep. But sure enough, there he was on the floor I'm so pissed. Really liked that fish. What makes it worse is that I have a sheet of acrylic that I put over the tank at night and when I'm not home. I guess I'll have to keep it on full-time now... Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Damn man,that really suck. Sorry to hear about the loss... Is there any gaps between the acrylic and the back part of the tank ? Maybe he had been planning on a jump and found a way ?! Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 There's a gap on the left side where the surface skimmer is, but he was on the right side of the tank on the floor. And there is no gap on the right. So he had to have jumped before I put the cover on at night. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Update: After the Six Line jumped I was furious. But I also wanted to replace him because I really like these fish. But first I needed to do something about the lid. The acrylic just wasn't cutting it, so I went to Home Depot and spent the best $13 I have spent on this tank. I really don't know why I didn't do this sooner. But oh well. Just did a water change and wanted to share some growth pics, as well as some pics of the new Six Line and my new baby cleaner shrimp! I'm getting better at taking iPhone pics. They still suck, though. Darth Maul Growth: Seduction Growth: Hawaiian People Eater Growth: New Acan Heads: New baby Cleaner Shrimp! He likes the cave New Six Line likes the camera Why did I not do this sooner.... No one is getting out now FTS: Link to comment

Dylan.N Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Little RFA moved itself to somewhere it likes I guess. Gave me quite a scare last night when it detached itself from the rock. Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 That's awesome !!! I saw the thread they had about these. Post some reviews on it,I really want to get one for my AC20 I'm using on my girlfriends tank. I just don't know if it'll fit,the tank is 6"x6"x6" Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Tank is looking great. I'm thinking the RFA may have moved to lower light, I could be wrong too. Sounds like your getting some sweet pieces in there. Link to comment

Dylan.N Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Chalice for $8? Why not? Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Wow, nice grabs. The chalice for $8 is pretty sweet deal. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 1 more $5 frag... I like the color combo. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Petsmart is having a sale on Aqua Clear filters, so I decided to upgrade my AC50 to an AC70. Lately my water hasn't been very clear (lots of debri) so I figured what the heck. So far I can see that there is much more flow, and the increased GPH should definitely help. My roommate has an AC70 on his 15gal, so I think this was a good decision. And I already contacted Pico Aquariums and asked them to change my order to an AC70 surface skimmer so all's good. New corals will be here Tuesday! Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 how much was the sell on the ac70? Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 how much was the sell on the ac70? +1 my brother n law was telling me they had a ac110 open box for $35 !!! That's such a steal. Link to comment
