Chris! Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 I wish I could get my tank that clean without a rabbit. I have some nice macros and seagrass that I'd like to keep lol. I don't think my skimmer is quite performing up to snuff, though, so that may be the main reason. Yeah don't think those would fare to well with a hungry rabbit, tho I really think my lawnmower was the biggest boost in clean up. That lil dude was real hungry! Better get that skimmer runnin right man, a poor performing skimmer is never good. 1 Quote Link to comment
Chris! Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 I forgot Ben, I have 2 urchins too that helped knock out alot and keep it clean. Maybe 5 snails if that lol 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks man, I love the wrasses glad to have some back in the display finally.... they aren't the last set of leopards I will be adding tho, but I want to get these ladies settled in comfortably 1st...... The rack is just a temporary landing spot for extras, I like to spread things around, and waiting on another tank to be up and running safely for them but the DT has been pretty solid lately I wondered whos tank that picture was in my thread lol looks great and nice pics. Yeah I haven't shot the tank itself much lately, still intentionally left the whites pretty much off instead of trying to get a better shot as its not where I want it to be quite yet. 1 Quote Link to comment

Chris! Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Nice pictures Chris. The Leopards don't seem shy, very cute. Thanks Kat. The one is a bit shyer then the other still and is only out for a couple hrs where the other is out the entire time lights are on, definitely cute tho and still my favorite type of fish 1 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Will they bicker as they change sex, they seem the same size. I don't know how this worka. I've had Anthias since March and the one is huge and I keep expecting it to turn male but it's just enjoying making me wait Quote Link to comment
Chris! Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Will they bicker as they change sex, they seem the same size. I don't know how this worka. I've had Anthias since March and the one is huge and I keep expecting it to turn male but it's just enjoying making me wait If they both turn male its a possibility, but they could stay female even hard to say. The one is more dominant/outgoing personality wise IMO right now tho so I am hoping if there is a change it will be that one..... but I am hoping they stay female for a couple more months as I want to get a few more and several other varieties tho I have added multiples with a male in the tank before and not had an issue they don't really seem to bother anything or eachother much IME. Also, its hard to tell but the one that comes out before and stays out later is about a 1/4-1/2" bigger and slightly thicker then the other one as well, not a huge difference but might be enough lol Quote Link to comment

Yeah I have family in Riverside, cousin was all flippin out bout some UFO lastnight/ this morning lol Sounds like he is ready for his own tank lol Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I had a tuxedo urchin but I took it back because it was a nuisance taking corals and macros, and the algae was growing back at almost the same rate as it was eating it. Should have gotten two or four of them total lol. But realistically until I get some better nutrient export going it won't do jack. I tried to get a nice starry blenny a couple of weeks ago but it died a couple days later in QT. 1 Quote Link to comment
Sancho Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I knew what it was. if its nice and clear out and Vandemburg launches something all of So Cal. thinks it a UFO. The last one was just before sunset and left a pretty rainbow like trail in the sky. 1 Quote Link to comment

But I think they are kinda cool I knew what it was. if its nice and clear out and Vandemburg launches something all of So Cal. thinks it a UFO.

I've only ever had 2 that didn't make it over a yr so I have had some pretty good luck with them and hope to continue that with these ladies 1 Quote Link to comment

Is ready I'll pick up a few acros from them- pricey but acros I've never seen anywhere else. That's good to know so maybe I could call them and see what else they have that's not posted online. Sounds like a must visit next time I come to Flint or actually maybe make a trip just for that and hand pick some acros- that would be cool. I would definitely drag you with me? 1 Quote Link to comment
