uglybuckling Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I think it would be difficult to be anything but nice. Gorgeous close-ups. Gorgeous aquascaping. Interesting tank-size, too...I'm thinking about setting up a 12x12x12" acrylic cube (7 gallons) and looking at this gives me some inspiration. Especially like the dark zoos. --B Link to comment
warrior_boy Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 tank looks great. I also love the aquascaping Link to comment
burnah Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 no fish? i see one fish in the first shot... looks like a poecilia something to me, a fresh waterfish that can be kept in sw too... am i right? tank is really great, keep upt the good work! Link to comment
reefeiro Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 Thank you Guys! wwoooppp ... now i´m really shame... I thought you´all wouldn´t like. Yeah, there were 2 fish´s, poecilia (molinesia here). But I took them out to another tank, because i don´t want to feed anything now, I Hate algaes, for a while they hate me too, but after they come... In a week or more I will integrate a fuge that is bigger than the tank, 14 galon, 500X300X350mm (350mm tall). Water will fall from gravity by a bulkhead and plumbing. Sorry ´bout the poor english, I don´t pratice has a long time, I will return to pratice here. Link to comment
burnah Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 your english is not bad, i think everyone knew what you meant how did the freshwater fish do in your SW-tank? how did you acclimate them? did the poecilia eat the algea, because in fw the eat much of them... ? Link to comment
reefeiro Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 Thank you Burnah. They were pretty well, friendly and very active. Acclimatation took just a few moments, half an hour. I put SW slowly in the container that they were. After I put them in the tank. About algaes, they eat all day, but you have to reduce the food to them. Even when I feed them they ate algaes. They are a little pretty, more resistance to amomnia and nitrite, eat everything, not shame and comes in the hand! But I´ll put in few days an anemone, bubble tip, that is waiting the tank be prepared. After I´m thinking if must put an ocellaris or a maroon. I´m induced to put the occelaris by the price, and when the anemone reproduce (she is almost) and I mount the refugium the ocellaris will house there and I will buy a maroon to the bubble tip.

Tigahboy Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Very nice...that starfish adds some nice contrast to your tank! Link to comment
gabe82 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Your tank is beautiful, but forgive me if I am incorrect...If your tank is only 5 days old, that seems like a lot of livestock to have if your tank has not cycled yet... But I love that large rock which makes up your centerpiece. Is it one piece? Link to comment

Cesar Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Nice close ups. The tank looks great. Link to comment
burnah Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 if i can give you an advice... dont want to offend you, but i think you should get rid of the xenia... i had NOTHING but problems with it, it grew like hell, grew over everything... i hate xenia, it might be beautiful at the beginning, but i think EVERYONE hates it later on... but i like your tank, great setup Link to comment
Bin Weed Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 dont get rid of the xenia, take care of it. The tank looks awesome, hows that starfish doin? How big is the refugium your puttin on? -ben Link to comment
kimura Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I think you should keep the Xenia's but Keep them far from other things it can attach and grow on. I had three of them in my 12, within a few months I had to take out the mother colony and cut/scrape/burn it off most of the rock! IF you do keep it, make sure it is Isolated. Oh and don't worry about your english, I have several friends and Instructors from Brazil. They can hardly speak and write english, so If I can understand them I can understand you. Link to comment
beastium Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 do you have a refugium on that? Link to comment
