ya, I dont think so Greg:wink::lol:.....maybe when they grow out a little:biggrin:


I lost a clam yesterday to the persistent nipping of my coral beauty:sad:.....gorgeous fish but he's gonna have to go......
*gone fishing*

Can't blame a guy for trying:biggrin: I have the same thing going on with my valentini puffy, I suspect him for nipping at any blue clam and causing it injury enough that the Bristol worms move in and finish it off. He is now in the FOWLR as of a few hr ago.

[fishoholic]

she is soooo good to me:wink:



Yep and don't you forget it! :razz: :mrgreen:

[fishytime]

Yep and don't you forget it! :razz: :mrgreen:

How can I?.....you wont let me:razz::mrgreen:


after I lost the clam from the "little bastard",as he's not so affectionately been nic-named, I moved all the clams I could into the small tank(had to move a few acans in to the big tank)......I lost one of the clams I moved two days later, so that makes two confirmed kills for my "beauty".....the whole scenario has me thinking about plumbing in the cube I have sitting empty in my living room, like I originally planned...

Sorry to hear about the clams, that totally sucks.

But wow on the corals and a big huge double wow on the SuperRainbowMan Monti. If you ever decide that thing needs a 1/4" chunk taken out of it please let me know. :)

[lastlight]

I'd like to stand directly behind Tony in that line! Not too close mind you...we need to set some boundaries but I'd really love to snag some of those! Looking awesome man.

[Nebthet]

Those are some super nice monti's you have there.
Major drool time.
That one is definitely a rainbow monti and not a superman, but it is gorgeous either way.

[Lance]

Nice looking Monti's Doug. When all those grow out you'll have to rename that tank from "V2" to "The Full Monty" :mrgreen:

[The Grizz]

You know who to call if you need to part with another clam there Doug. The Crocea I just got from you is doing GREAT. And I would take clams of other colors to :lol:

[the marine apprentice]

well i was recently over at dougs for a few beers and got to get a few pics of his stuff in that pretty tank of his. these here are pics from my iphone so dont mind the crappy pics.

I have 5 now but have lost several last year. Found out my Val puffer started to have a taste for clam but only enough to case injury so then the Bristol worms would move in and finish the job. Now any time I spot a Bristol worm out come the tweezers and out goes the worm. The last one injured by the puffer is recovering nicely, it's mantel is out 3 times more then it ever was.

Actually, we should look into a fedex over night some time from your place to mine.. if I can be sent berghia nudibrachs overnight from Texas to Ontario via fedex, from Calgary to Ontario shouldn't be a problem.

UPS on the other hand.. would just screw stuff up.

Your tank is sooo nice though, I love looking at the pics.

[Nebthet]

a tradzies would be awesome doug.. I have never shipped before myself, only received so that would be an interesting experience.. will wait until spring though... so that it isn't all cold.

[FishyFishy!]

I think we're due for a FTS!

Thanks Wes.....

probably best to wait for the thaw.....and for some of my stuff to get bigger:wink:


I think we're due for a FTS!

well the glass is dirty and the over-all appearance hasnt changed all that much.....just a tank full of wee frags that are barely visable to the naked eye:lol:......I'll get on it soon.....need to take one for the 2011 FTS thread anyway....


heres a couple pics from the small tank, including a new friend for my blue assessor....I thought that my one expensive fish that I never see could use the friendship of another expensive fish that Ill probably never see.....a BSJ (blue spotted jawfish)....he shocked the heck out of me and actually found a spot right up against the front glass:biggrin:........ what is it about cameras????......I sit back and watch the fish and they are all out and about.....I put my face to the glass and there is an initial reaction of fear from my ugly face then they quickly settle down and go about their business.....but put a camera up in front of your face and.....WHOAH!!!!! WTF is that thing???? OMG its gonna get me!!!!!.....run for your life!!!!...... anyway best pics I could get so far....I might try leave the camera in front of the tank on the tri-pod for a couple days to let him get used to it....

..need to take one for the 2001 FTS thread anyway....

Wow I'm younger then I thought! :lol:

The blue spot looks great babe!

[Delphinus]

Love the porcelain crab too. Man I miss mine, had two, one that I bought, one that hitched in on something. The hitchhiker was a little like that last one you pictured, but with more red and orange. The bought one was the typical whitish one. Guess like anything over time they get old .. 3 or 4 years for the one and maybe 5 on the other. You don't seem to see them offered up for sale hardly ever anymore. Could be that I'm just not looking in the right places in the right times mind you.

[ElGuappo]

WOW it didnt take long for your bluespot to settle in...

and yes that is an awsome feather duster....

lets just go over this... i give her a free skimmer and you reep all the benifits???????:wink::mrgreen:

[fishytime]

well some "up" news and some "down" news......

first the "up"..........I decide that the little Hagen Glo lights that I was using on the small tank were....um.....lacking......so I kicked things up a notch with a TEK 24" 4 bulb unit....the wattage didnt change( as I was running two, 2 bulb Glos), but the reflectors alone should make a big difference......that and now the lights on both the tanks match*said in a male hairstylist/designer type voice*

the other "up" thing is I picked up another feather duster....RC got some Hawaiians in and I took one that is almost completely white except for the middle which is an orangey/brown

now for the "down" news.......*sigh*.....and then there was two......I lost another clam:sad:.....that leaves me with two........I dont know whats worse.....loosing everything all at once(which really sucked)....or slowly loosing all of one particular thing over weeks, feeling helpless........I thought I would post a shot of my last remaining crocea (while I still can)...

every Giirly likes a dicount, dont they?

I have no life outside of work and the tank, Brad:lol:.....Im home most evenings:biggrin:

[Nebthet]

Put frag plug beside that acro growing over your frag rack. Let it uncrust on plug... send to me. :D lol..

[The Grizz]

That is one sweet duster dude, I had 2 as well but one died off for some strange reason. But the up side was my guy Ryan at Big Als replaced it for free with 2 dusters that where growing together.

The downside for me as well is I too am down to 2 clams now. The latest clam to go was my very first clam I had purchased, it had sponge, mushrooms and little coco worms on the shell.

One day when your going past Red Deer area it would be great to have you stop by and give me a few pointers to help me get some SPS going and living.

[lastlight]

Sorry to hear of the clam Doug.

That 'micro'... that's not an acan? I have something that looksa lot like it and it's an acan. I'm still fairly crap with IDs.

When are you going to frag your eggrate lol? :lol:

[Ryan]

I seen those as well. Im pretty sure they are an acan even though they came in with the micros.

[kien]

that sucks about the clams :( Dusters are lovely though :)

acans and micros are soooo closely related.....micros tend to have a smaller head size and appear slightly smoother than acans....have a look here at a google search I did.... http://www.google.ca/images?q=micromussa&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=802.....scored that one from Blueworld in E-town

[Delphinus]

I love them too....I have three purples and one white that Girly scored for me in E-town(pic to follow).....we've had the in, in the past.....I could ask Kev to get some in for ya mang....that is, if you dont think that they would get lost in that big beautiful beast of a tank of yours?....


That'd be awesome, please and thank you. I suppose they might get lost in the big tank but don't they sort of have territories? The white porcelain I had just lived in the green carpet, so hopefully they'd shack up in there.

Loving that feather duster. Might have to find me some room for one myself!

[Delphinus]

Sorry for the clam losses too. I know how you feel and I agree that I don't know what's worse, seeing things die all at once or seeing them go one by one. Been there in both cases and it's awful.

That is one sweet duster dude, I had 2 as well but one died off for some strange reason. But the up side was my guy Ryan at Big Als replaced it for free with 2 dusters that where growing together.

Im realizing that I have a serious weakness for critters.....like feather dusters, pom poms, porcelains, sexies, etc

One day when your going past Red Deer area it would be great to have you stop by and give me a few pointers to help me get some SPS going and living.

might just have to do that sometime but, feel free to pick my brain anytime bud

Hey no worries mang.....Ive been meaning to ask Kevin if he could do a nano-critter type order....I need me some more sexies.....ya they do tend to find an area and hang there....as you could see in the pic my white porcelain lives under my octospawn, which he shares with my sexy shrimp...


Sorry for the clam losses too. I know how you feel and I agree that I don't know what's worse, seeing things die all at once or seeing them go one by one. Been there in both cases and it's awful.


words cant describe how it feels huh?.....I dont think I will be adding any clams any time soon.....not sure if I had a clam disease or pathogen or if it was just to soon to put clams in the tank after the crash......either way there is a possibility that I will be moving again in the near future so the tank probably wont see any new bivalves for a while(o0f course Ive said that before about other thing and the reneged).....

They are such a cool coral. I would love everyone to have one but are crazy crazy slow growers. I have only done 2 frags in over a year. Great score tho Doug

[Delphinus]

Sweet score! :cool: Looks different than what I thought strawberry shortcake was supposed to look like though? Although I think I like it right now the way it looks, I've always been a sucker for blue and purple combos.

It's sort of hard to tell in the pic.'s but it's really pink and green in person.

Ah well that sounds like strawberry shortcake indeedleedoo then. Although I must say "pink" and "green" are definitely two colours that didn't come to mind when I looked at them photos. :lol:

Where are people getting theirs from anyhow? Just curious: have seen a couple now in tanks but have never seen them in a store as yet..

And i have most of the other frags and colonies they had to sell. So i guess i own the market for now :twised:

[Delphinus]

Does that mean at some point you'll release more than 2 per year? :p

[BlueTang<3]

Does that mean at some point you'll release more than 2 per year? :p

If i can get them growing faster than yes :smile:. I need to keep the demand up and the only way to do that is kill the supply line :wink:. I would actually like more to enjoy this coral but its just a slow grower so far.

[es355lucille]

Ok Doug work your magic with that frag!!!...........lets see a huge colony so you can share.:biggrin:

[Delphinus]

Ha! I know exactly where you bought that because I looked at it myself and came VERY close to picking it up and I even thought "wonder if Doug would like it." Glad I didn't sneak it away from you then :p

[The Grizz]

Sweet color dude, will not be showing this to the wife. She would want me to b&e your place :lol:

Agreed....


Also whats with all this soft coral smut? I demand hard coral smut!

[MitchM]

Just a quick note about those feather dusters -
Those guys feed on phytoplankton. (or is it zooplankton..)
Anyways, when you first get them they have a fairly large "crown" but will shed it for a smaller one to possible adapt to less food being available.
They will live longer if you could maybe feed them some DT's.

you best be careful dude.....I have an attack jawfish in that tank:mrgreen:

[MitchM]

Grizz,

Have you noticed if yours is actually consuming the brine shrimp and growing?
The larger feather dusters can collect larger food particles, but only seem to bind them in mucus and expel them in their faeces.
They do really only digest phytoplankton.

I havnt tried DTs yet....but I have been dosing Kent's phytomax(not the best, I know), sponge power, coral vitalizer, Amino acids and extra....so hopefully Ive got it covered....thanks for the tip though....

I don't feed them a lot but have never seen them expel anything. I have read on a couple site they will feed on brine so I gave it a shot.

just added a purple jumpfish.....er um I mean firefish to the small tank......the small tank needed some kind of finned inhabitant that would swim out in the open, but at the same time be mild manured......I couldnt do anything at all aggressive with both the blue spot and the chicken shite blue assessor in there, so I hope the firefish fits the bill....and doesnt end up carpet surfing..........or cause my blue spot to carpet surf

Its not really officially mine Brett......Im .......um......babysitting it for Kevin..........I'll take real good care of it for him though.....I'll be sure to secure it somewhere real solid......perhaps leaned up against my rockwork somewhere:twised:.....


Damn doug where did you get that pink mille.

Kevin said (that way he's the one the blew the ID:wink:) that it was a prosrata......whichever it is, its pretty freakin pink!!..... as I said ^^above^^, it came in at the shop and Im babysitting it til we get the shop moved.....

[The Grizz]

WHAT??? MOVED??? Where to? When?

Since it came from a zeo tank I'm *really* hoping it holds that pink. I've been drooling over it before it starts to fade to brown haha. Most of my corals actually came from zeo tanks (john's and dez's) and surprisingly I have done pretty well at salvaging a little colour.

I believe most of the acro's we like to label as millepora are actually prostrata. Whether I believe a coral to be prostrata or millepora I usually just call them all millepora because that is what most people relate to.

[fishytime]

WHAT??? MOVED??? Where to? When?

Oh.....you havnt heard yet?......RC is moving......more central in the city and 4 times the space......we're really excited bout it......

the two corals are remarkably similar.......Are real aficionado, like Greg, would probably be able to spot the difference right away...

Doug, how the heck did you get a fish hitchhiker?

[fishoholic]

Ruh-roh!.......................mind you I am a carpenter and probably could build meself a pretty kick-arse doghaus:lol:





:lol: you know I was just buggin ya hunny :mrgreen:

[fishoholic]

Doug, how the heck did you get a fish hitchhiker?

I've gotten a fish hitchhiker before. Truly amazing too, I meet up with a guy in a store parking lot once years ago (I was buying live rock from him) and the guy was coming in from out of town. When I met him he had a Styrofoam box full of live rock for me and the box had less then an inch of water in the bottom of it. When I got home and started to unpack it all I noticed something moving around in the bottom of the box. Low and behold it was a lawnmower blenny :surprise: The very small amount of water in the bottom of the box was cold, I still have no idea how the blenny survived until I found him hours after the live rock had first been packed.

[The Grizz]

I would not worry just yet about your jawfish Doug, tonight I seen my Flasher wrasse that I have not seen in a month or more. I just hope my Canary wrasse peaks it head out to say hi soon to.

Tanks are looking good Doug. I'm most jealous of the lack of algae...gahhhh.

Doug, how the heck did you get a fish hitchhiker?


kinda an interesting story Lance.......I have no idea where it came from.....I didnt even know I had it......when I was tearing the tank down to move it is when I found the fish.....all the rock was out and we were in the process of netting out all the fish when we noticed it.....I was like, "WTF is that!..I didnt add that fish.....what the hell kinda fish is that fish?" .....only thing I can think of is it came in on either a coral(highly unlikely, I thought) or in some rock.......I started trying to think when the last time I added any rock to the display and it was at least a year before I moved....this fish spent a year in my display without me seeing it.....freakin amazing, I thought....Mikey(who helped me move the tank) later found a link to what kind of fish it was.....I will go back in my journal here and find it.......anyway, in then died the following day when the tank crashed......kinda a crappy way for this fish that survived a ride home in a plastic bag with no water, then managed to live in my tank for a year without me seeing it, to die


Tanks are looking good Doug. I'm most jealous of the lack of algae...gahhhh.

oh, there is algae in there:wink:......little bit o volonia here and there....and some kind of caulerpa algae growing in the eggcrate at the top of the overflow......you just need to be selective about composition with your pictures so as to not get any algae in the shot:wink:

Lol why do you think most of my shots are of the exact same angles? :mrgreen: Maybe if I start to embrace the algae and secretly love it... it will perish. Won't Murphy's Law or something like that come into effect?

small update......I rolled the dice a little this last w/e.....Ive always wanted a flame hawkfish and Ive always not bought one because Ive always had shrimp in the tank.....In V1 my mystery wrasse ended up taking out all the shrimp in the tank and I ended up gettin a geometric hawk......still a very cool fish and I really loved its behavior, but not a flame hawk......V2 has three or four peppermint shrimp, one cleaner shrimp and one fire shrimp and now a wee tiny flame hawk.......everything Ive read suggests that if the shrimp are introduced first and are of a larger size then the mix is sometimes do-able......my shrimp were in first, are of a larger size and the flame is only about 2"(smallest flame hawk Ive ever seen)......we'll see how things pan out.....

I think you'll be okay. I have a flame hawk in with two skunk shrimp in a smaller tank then yours and they don't even really look at each other. There a cool fish.

[lorenz0]

Ha do you really trust a face like that. btw nice colors mang

[lastlight]

What a cute little guy I'd love one!

My pink prostrata is not looking as pink as yours right about now. It's actually starting to grow a little bit but for all I know it'll be green coral in a month.

[Lance]

Nice looking Flame Doug. The Hawk should leave the shrimp alone as they were already there. Unless, of course, he gets real hungry. :wink: Any new shrimp or crabs will be dinner though.

[The Grizz]

I never even thought of my Spotted hawk fish might be the reason I can't keep shrimp in my tank. Could it be.....

Nice Flame for sure Dougster and your coral colors look sweet too

call me a glutton for punishment......I couldnt resist the lure of the clam (no Greg Im not moving to E-town(yet:wink:))......even after losing ten clams in three weeks I decided to try a couple of the wee maximas that came into RC recently......not the best shots because the little clams were still really sensitive to movement and kept retracting every time I moved the camera.....gotta hate a sensitive clam:wink:......Ive got my fingers crossed that these do well....at least they were relatively cheap.....the little blue one is an "ultra" grade and the other two are "A" grade.....

thanks guys......ya you all know that, that was my first thought about adding another clam to the clam killing tank........but, unannounced to the CR world,.......a customer came into the shop about three weeks or so ago with a couple fish, a starfish and a clam and said "we're shutting down our tank, here"......and just gave the stuff to the shop......I took the small derasa home.......its been in there three weeks and seems to be doing just fine......so Im REALLY hoping that my little clamissues are over with......

Hey you're the one who keeps telling me it's taking up too much space and that you want to sell it. I am just offering space in my tank for it so you don't have to sell it :mrgreen:

my acans are under 240 watts of T5......light is 4" of the surface and my acans are from the bottom of the tank(20" deep) to about 6" off the bottom....all fully exposed.......tee hee ....I said fully exposed :mrgreen:.....hope that answers your que



here a few "dry" pics of the new pico tank.....still havnt found the time or motivation to set it up yet:redface:......looks to be well made from what I can tell.....I still need to pic up a couple things for it.....a wee small heater and maybe a Koralia nano....

I dont really want to sell it.....but it is taking up a lot of space.......hmmmmmm maybe a bigger small tank is what I need:twised:

I told ya, you don't have to sell it, it can "visit" my tank. You would need a bigger sump and skimmer if you got a bigger small tank, best just to send it my way :twised:

I tend to think so Lenny......I think the two of us sharing the same passion is cool.....although if she does end up moving here, I think that us being together and me at Red Coral could be a really dangerous combination.......can you say 10' tank!!!:lol:


Ya we'd be an even better match if one of us would cave and go live with the other :razz: We're both pretty stubborn that way neither of us likes the idea of moving and leaving friends and family. But yes if we do ever live together I think at least a 10 foot tank would be in order, and it's very nice to share the same passion but it can be costly too :mrgreen:

after the winter you guys just had i would have thought you would have WARMED UP to calgary by now... besides edmonton is just the capital while calgary is the beautiful rich city .....:mrgreen:

Were you talking to to me?......or Laurie?........oh! you mean the nano tank:redface:.......ya it is a pretty cute little box....Im thinkin maybe just some zoas and a pistol/yasha combo.....you should get you a wee box Sarah, I think you'd have fun with it....

[fishoholic]

after the winter you guys just had i would have thought you would have WARMED UP to calgary by now... besides edmonton is just the capital while calgary is the beautiful rich city .....:mrgreen:

I totally admit that this winter has royally sucked. I also agree that Calgary is a beautiful city, but my family and friends are in Edmonton, as well as I've been at the same job for 11 going on 12 years, I get lots of vacation time and good benefits which would be hard to pass up but sometimes change is good too. I also own my house in Edmonton and I hate the process of always keeping the house clean etc. when trying to sell it (went through that with my condo) and I also have moved around enough to know I absolutely hate packing!!!! Doug rents right now, and either way he would have to move (his rental doesn't allow pets and I have 2 dogs and a cat) so he should move here :mrgreen: Easier said then done, I know :wink:

[Delphinus]

Compromise and meet in the middle somewhere. Like, oh I don't know ... Borneo maybe. Palau. Bora-Bora. Lots-o-reefs there and slightly less snow. :lol: And exactly halfway in the middle of Calgary and Edmonton .. or at least, the difference is distance from these places to either C or E is going to be negligible, ergo, they are halfway in the middle.

I've spent two day reading this entire thread. :shocked!: WOW!!!

I started, not realizing how long it was, as I just bought a 110 and was hoping for some pointers.

Not only did I get so much info and knowledge, that I hope to put to good use, I just wanted to say thanks, and I hope my tank will look half as good as yours. :thumb:

Keep up the good work :)

aw man!......you weren't supposed to notice the bubble algae :redface:

ya that favia is pretty sweet......one of my faves for sure......had always wanted a piece and finally found some......


well I mentioned before that I bought an I-Box nano......after some humming and hawing about it for awhile...... I came to the conclusion that I spend to many weekends away to leave a pico running unattended.......as it stands now, I can go to E-town for the w/e and pretty much leave the system without worrying about it.....I just over fill the sump with r/o make sure the r/o reservoir is full and its not that big of a deal for the fish not to eat for a day or two.....I also turn off the skimmer, just in case.....Im worried that a pico tank might not take to well to not being topped up for two or three days......................................... so............................................I decided Ima gonna plumb it in to the main system......is that cheating?......is it still considered a pico tank if it has a 150g sump?.....I brought home some 1/2" plumbing parts and starting looking at the space in the back chamber and I think I can do a herbie in this little tank......both drains and the return will be drilled through the back and the return will use the existing, although slightly enlarged hole(normally I dont much care for an enlarged hole:wink:)) for the stock return.......Im thinking I'll use a power-head of some make with around 250 gph for a return pump.....after head loss, that should be more than enough flow for a 2.5g tank.......I need some parts so I can see if I really can make this happen.....the overflow area is a tight little space,(much prefer tight little spaces, in some cases:wink:) so I may need to get my hands on a few more pieces to see if I can make it work.....stay tuned:mrgreen:

I added a melenarus wrasse a couple weeks ago.....he spent the first two days getting chased into the overflow by my angel......I thought briefly that it was a bad decision....and the poor wrasse was gonna end up on the floor, but after the initial "jump in" period he has settled in quite nicely and none of the rest of the crew even knows he exists....

*edit after googling tyree setosa it just may be one.......pics of tyree setosa seem to range from orange to pink....

Thanks Lance......the little tank is a valonia garden.......not to mention an aiptasia ranch....the two tanks side by side are a stark contrast......big tank has like two aiptasia and a little bit of bubble......I guess crap loads of flow and a tank full of algae eating fish makes all the difference in the world.....
