PicoSavvy Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Look good so far. I specially like that black sand. Link to comment
chemikalzsky Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 When I was researching, a lot of people kept saying that black sand was a pain and I shouldn't do it. I don't know why, but something in me drives me to do things the hard way. Haha! So far, it hasn't been bad, but I'm waiting for it. Link to comment
PicoSavvy Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I like it alot it something different from the typical white sand. I am the same, always being attracted to things people say no to, always looking for a challenge Link to comment
chemikalzsky Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 I picked up two new friends for the 10g today, along with a couple of Rics and a Yuma. These little guys are going to look so awesome in there. Link to comment

chemikalzsky Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hahaha! I like a challenge, but that might be a little too much. Link to comment
chemikalzsky Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 They are in the tank after acclimation and they look AWESOME! They're hanging around my return pump a lot right now. I hope they adventure around the tank a little more. Link to comment

When I bought my firsT clownfish they where really shy at first but soon became the most active fish in my tank. Link to comment
chemikalzsky Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 I am happy to report that my little Wyoming whites are now swimming happy around my tank. The little one has taken to hosting one of my snails. Hahah! It's kinda cute. I have a little rainbow anemone in the tank, but I don't want them to host it just yet. I'm afraid they would beat the hell out of it. Link to comment

chemikalzsky Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Thanks Yoshii!! They've got such a great personality. I was taking a pic of my sad Torch and one decided to say Hi! Link to comment
chemikalzsky Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 It's been a while since I posted up a pic of the bowl. I got a new zoa and mushroom! I don't know what they are called, but they certainly pop in the bowl. I circled them in the pic. Anyone haven idea? Oh man, I forgot about my acan. It's on the plug in the foreground.

PicoSavvy Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 How is the bowl and clownfish doing? Any new corals Link to comment
chemikalzsky Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 How is the bowl and clownfish doing? Any new corals My bowl has been doing great! My acan has a new mouth and my galaxy zoa is growing two new polyps. My little male clown is starting to get curious about my anemone. Eeeee! He hasn't started hosting yet, but he's slowly getting closer to it. I'm not going to force them. I wanna get new stuff, but I have been slammed with work and I'm not getting home until after the store closes. I might head to Orlando this weekend and see what I can find if I don't have to work.

chemikalzsky Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 I got two new corals and a new porcelain crab for the 10g this weekend! Picture time!! New Rock flower Anemone and Rainbow Wall Hammer with a nosey male Wyoming White Clown hanging around. Oh look! The female decided to join in on the fun! Here's a nice pic of the lower portion of my tank. From left to Right: Rics, Yuma, mushroom, rock flower anemone, Rainbow wall hammer, Rainbow bubble tip anemone, and right above that, you can see the claw of my new anemone crab. He's a little shy right now. I'll get a better pic when he gets a little more comfortable in the tank. Link to comment
PicoSavvy Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Nice addition. I love the clownfish fish. Sadly the once I had my eye on, in petco the manager told me that one of them died and the other was sold, sad because they were already paired up. Link to comment
chemikalzsky Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Aww, the poor things. At least one found a home. Link to comment
PicoSavvy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yea I had my hart smashed when he told me, I was there to buy them because one of my friends agree to hold them for me in his tank, once I didn't see them in their normal spot I ask the manager and he told me what happened.

chemikalzsky Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Nooooo, that's even worse. :'( There's some nice iced mocha pairs at my favorite LFS, but they didn't have the personality of the ones I picked up. Link to comment
PicoSavvy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yea. I like these two because they were really friendly, they came up right to glass and I felt bad for the condition they where in, in a tank with about 10 gallon of water, share with a tang and a reef angelfish Link to comment
chemikalzsky Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 They should really hire people that know what they are doing at pet stores. Link to comment
PicoSavvy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 For them it pure profits, as long as they make a profit, they are happy. I am also kinda disappointed on drsfostersmith.com for selling out to petco (http://m.petco.com/petco_Page_PC_drsfostersmith.aspx) because they used to be my favorite online retailers for pet (mainly fish) stuff Link to comment
chemikalzsky Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 I have turned to marine depot for my online fish stuff now. Their customer service is awesome and their email communications are very creative and entertaining. Link to comment
PicoSavvy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yea marine depot is a good online retailer, I recently order a Sicce Syncra 1.5 pump from them. That is going to be the return pump for my pico. BulkReefSupply.com is another shop I like they always email discount and the staff is very helpful with question. Link to comment
chemikalzsky Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 I've never heard of them. I might have to check them out. In other news.... The crab has made his home in my anemone!! Woo hoo!! Link to comment
