ReefApprentice Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I hope you decided against the fiddlers. You've been a negative nelly this morning. Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 Ok, well first this morning... i went to the store.. got some sand.. 2 clownfish (i'll tell you what kind later ).. and 10g. of SW... so i run home and start putting the tank together... first sand goes in.. then i put rock in (some from FOWLR, some from Seahorse tank) then i put in a heater (found an extra ) and put in the MJ 600.. the Flow is perfect for the tank!! So i am trying to get the rock anemones off there rocks.. and its NOT working.... the only reason i didnt want to just leave it on the rock is b/c the rock had Xenia.. so i decided.. hell.. i'll just scrub off the Xenia... well i put a glove on.. moved the rock w/ xenia, anemone, codium, And a mushroom.. into a bucket of tank water... first i tried a "grab and yank" technique.. that didnt go over so well.. anyway a few minutes later the rock was Xenia free... and in the process i almost threw up 2 or 3 times... yeah Xenia smells horible!!! so then i started adding water.... turned on the heater and powerhead.... added clownfish and some frags... then turned on the lights and am now waiting for the storm to blow over oh and in the process i broke me drawer Pics coming up soon BTW one of the anemone shrimp is MIA :shrugs shoulders: CG Nano, why do you hope i went against them?

irishtexan Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Nice looking tank! Is the anemone in the tank too? texx Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 one of them is in the tank yes.. its in the top left corner Link to comment
irishtexan Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Ok cool. Has the tank cleared up anymore? texx Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 not really.. more pics tomrow.. it should be cleared up by then Link to comment
irishtexan Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Ok cool. So are you planning on adding 3 flower anemones? Also, what kind of anemone shrimp are you getting? texx ps-I FINALLY posted pics! lol Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 the plan is 3 flower anemones but i might just add 2 and then an anemone that will actually host.. (if i can find one the right size. it would have to be a BTA though cause of the lighting and the size of the tank) the anemone shrimp im getting are Periclimenes brevicarpalis and Sexy shrimp also the clowns i got are A. Nigripes.. here is a pic.. these guys arent very common.. which is why i liked them .... common names are Maldives Clownfish, Nigripes Clownfish, Black-footed Clownfish, Rose Skunk Clownfish Link to comment
Travis Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 sweet, I hear they become bitters as they get older. Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 oh great lol....i also hear they are poor shipers... i think i might have gotten lucky... Link to comment
travisurfer Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 i wouldnt house both of them in that small of a tank. just too much imo. also, for the contest you may want to rescape it a bit since the competition is going to be insane. tanks got potential though. keep it up. Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 i think i need more rocks .. but idk yet.. i kinda like the open look.. theres only like 3 rocks.. so there isnt much aquascaping choices and yes.. it is small for them.. but i had no better place to put them (all other tanks are occupied).. i scence upcoming changes... aka more rocks, new fish, better lighting, and, just added, MORE FLOW!!! lol i added an Aquaclear 20 to help with better flow and filtering out the crud from the sand (the maxi-jet was just moving it around)... so there is carbon now.. which should help Link to comment
