Thanks for looking :biggrin:

[Rikko]

Wow, that looks *way* bigger than a 25 gallon.
Nice stocking and aquascaping.

[Snappy]

I agree these photos make it look much larger than a 27 gal.
Nice looking set up.

[Invigor]

wow, i was thinkin this looks like a 70 or something.

if you look at the powerhead it kinda puts it back into perspective.

nice tank!

[danny zubot]

Nice pics, How long have you had the tangs in there.

[muck]

The tank looks really nice! Are your clown(s) hosting the RBTA?
Whats your plan for the tangs? Looks to me like a perfect excuse for a bigger tank!! :mrgreen:

What is the fish in picture #2 (the one labelled your "other favourite")?

Looks like a "Hi Fin Red Banded Goby" to me...

[Stasher]

Your tank is looking very nice. What other equipment are you running on there such as a skimmer? What are you growing in your fuge? Do you drip kalk? Just curious what some of your success components are :)
Keep up the good work.
BTW, I agree with the others, it looks much bigger than a 27 in those pics.

[sumpfinfishe]

Sweet tank indeed :biggrin: and great pics :cool:

It's funny everyone say's the same about my 27gl too :mrgreen:

One of my favs is my green frogspawn too, maybe cause I have fragged, sold, or traded it so many times that it's paid for lot's of other goodies.

The 27Club is starting to grow :exclaim:

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Nice tank shots Marcus.

Brad, it's not a hi fin red banded goby, it's a yellow headed or pearly jawfish with pieces of macro in front of it :lol:

I have a pair in my seahorse tank & as Tony the Tiger would say, "They'rrrrrrrre GREAT!!!! :biggrin:

Anthony

[Delphinus]

Ok .. thanks. I thought I was losing my mind or something. I was thinking, "That looks EXACTLY like a yellow headed jawfish but I've never seen markings like that!" It didn't occur to me at all there was something in front of it. :redface:

Anyhow, thanks for the info!! :cool:

PS. Dang Ryan, when I look at that link you posted, I'm amazed how similar it looks. That's a pretty cool fish too!

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Wow that is a very similar looking fish :eek: Beauty tooo!!! Now I know what's my next fish going to be :biggrin:

Anthony

[Ryan]

Hahah not a Pearly Jawfish. It is actualy a shrimp goby. hahah A red banded or yellow-nose shrimp goby Muck has the exact fish there in that url. We are talking aobut the fish under the regal tang are we not.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Really Ryan :question: :drinking: :confused: I talk to Marcus regularly & I even told him where to buy this fish after he saw my posted pic of one from my tank so I guess it must have morphed since the weekend, eh :rolleyes:

It's a Pearly Jawfish (Opistognathus aurifrons) and we both bought ours from King Ed's Pets for $25 each.


Getting back to the thread, Marcus, it's time for a bigger tank don'tcha think:razz:

Anthony

[Corey]

Those Pics dont do the tank justice, should see in person, amazing colouration, hes getting some amazing colours out of his acros and they are under PC lighting.

[Willow]

looks great sir, congrats!

[pocilipora]

The second pic is a High fin http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=181
This is a Jaw fish http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=188 nice tank by the way, accept the tangs. :biggrin:

[AJ_77]

Brad, it's not a hi fin red banded goby, it's a yellow headed or pearly jawfish with pieces of macro in front of it :lol:
and you think Ryan is drinking? :lol: - you made Tony apologize again!

- have to agree with the liveaquaria.com descriptions too. :biggrin:

[megatron_55]

Hey all! Just to answer a few questions on this thread . . .

My tangs are about a year and 2 months old

My skimmer is an aquac remora (this is the only type of filter I have running in this tank). . . I have a 12 gal fuge that serves as a frag farm and I have some grape caulerpa down there (Tank is split in two at the bottom) my lighting at the bottom is a 4x 1 footer T5's 2 actinic 2 10000k

No I don't drip kalk (I just buy those bottles . . . I use reef complete, iodide and dt's phyto plankton . . . simple as that)

No my clowns don't even go near that rose bubble tip . . . (I thought they would!) But they love the anthelia . . . thats where they are currently residing. . .

And as for the fish . . . that is most definately a HI FIN red banded goby . . Besides . . . I think I know what I buy before I buy them. . . my yellow head jawfish is not in the picture . . . (although if you look at the tang pic you can see the jawfish's reflection on the left)

Hopefully I'L upgrade to a 72 or 77 gallon or a 130 and up gallon when I have my own place!!

Thanks for reading!

[sumpfinfishe]

Maybe on the frog :biggrin:

How do you like those T5's, been thinking myself of the upgrade.

[megatron_55]

T5's are great but if your thinking of upgrading I think paul has those High output T5's now . . . but like that saying . . . "if its not broken. . don't fix it" . . :biggrin:

Your frogspawn is what drove me into collecting different colors! They look so cool! . . . weird thing is sometimes I find both of my clowns playing in it! . . . How big is your frog spawn now???

PS. what frags do you supply paul??

(He gets his anthelia/ green star polyps and some button polyps from me)

[sumpfinfishe]

You have PM :mrgreen:

[Samw]

Yes, it is definitely not a jawfish.

Its a Stonogobiops Nematodes prawn goby. They are very nervous and wimpy fish. I think they feel most comfortable when there's a symbiotic shrimp around.

Pet Gallery has several goby/shrimp pairs at this time:

Look at the dorsal fin it comes to a point. Pearly Jawfish dorsal fins is round. Main indicator. I told you Seahorse. Should have listened.
