William Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Just got my live aquaria order in, everything came in looking good. However I only had 45 min over my lunch break to put them in my aquarium (they were supposed to be delivered yesterday but the date was pushed back due to weather). I will I’ll post pics later when I get home. 1 Quote Link to comment
William Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Well ☹️ The clownfish is dead. He looked bad on arrival and died while I was at work. The hawkfish appears to be doing well and I can’t find the wrasse. edit: the wrasse was also dead, as well as the acropora crab.... 3 Quote Link to comment
William Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 I think I may officially be done adding things to my aquarium. I know that I am certainly maxed out on fish and I have limited space left for coral placement.... I trimmed back my corky sea finger and my teal Kenya tree today as well. Quote Link to comment
William Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 I the near future, I plan to trim most of my gorgonians, Duncan’s, and green palys, so if anyone is interested please let me know. Quote Link to comment

Tanks really stabilize once all the additions stop too, maintenance gets easier, etc. Quote Link to comment

I’ll be sure to post pics of everything on Friday . 1 Quote Link to comment

William Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Here is a photo of my newest editions, a Fijian Mimic Saddle Puffer, as well as my Long Nose Hawkfish. My brittle star decided to make a surprise venture out during the day, so I took a picture of him as well. 2 Quote Link to comment
Reefaddiction Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 The puffer is awesome! How big do they get, and what’s the minimal tank requirement? Quote Link to comment

blizzardscout2 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Wow that filefish had me fooled, I could have sworn it was a Valentini Puffer. I remember now that there are mimic filefish of them. Very cool, where did you pick that one up? Quote Link to comment
mystersyster Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 So pretty. Very cool fish! Do those mimics stay relatively small? Quote Link to comment

I got it from live aquaria divers den. From what I have read they stay under 3-4” and so far he/she has been a model citizen, eating well and not touching any of the coral/inverts. 2 Quote Link to comment
William Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 My reef has been on cruise control and with the exception of a week with calcium above 600 (my acros were not happy), everything is doing well. Most recently I have finally set up my little desktop freshwater planted aquarium. It is an Ultum Nature Systems 3N: Current inhabitants: assortrs plant pack from bucce plants 1 Amano shrimp 2otocynclus catfish 5 red tetras 1 Germán blue ram 1 Nerite snail 1 2 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Gorgeous freshwater planted tank @William, wow! That's a beautiful system design too, very clean. Is it using a canister filter? How has your nano reef been this month? Is the new Mimic Filefish still behaving itself? 😄 That fish is so cool, I wasn't familiar with them at all! Quote Link to comment
William Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 I received a notification from an online retailer that a fish I have wanted for two years was in stock, so I went ahead and pulled the trigger. He/she arrived yesterday and is already eating today. Yellow Spotted scorpionfish Sebastapistes cyanostigm All of my other fish are doing well. My acros are not happy, for some reason my calcium is always above 600, with two different test kits. I have completely stopped dosing it, and I have done 5, 20% water changes over the last 6 weeks.... not sure what’s going on?..... also im pretty’s sure I still have a polyclad flat worm in my aquarium as I continue to have snails disappearing. 2 Quote Link to comment
William Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Slightly better photos, after I cleaned the aquarium. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
Squared Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Nice! Those fish are on my must have list in the future. Is it eating? If it is, would you consider it a slow eater? Quote Link to comment

I have been searching for these small scorpion / waspfish for awhile and no one ever has them. Do you mind if I ask where you were able to get one from? Also, how do you like it so far?
