oh ps, not that it matters but I'm a girl.

Hmm considered doing a build thread? WE WANT PICS! :lol:

And you know what you should consider? Going ahead and getting a Royal Gramma, and a colorful damsel of some sort, and letting them fight it out! (I have a special place for RGs in my heart, they are the fish that made me want to start a marine tank to begin with) Clownfish are sort of... well, overdone a la Finding Nemo, IMHO (unless they host something). But letting a RG and a Damsel (put into the tank at the same time, of course) stake out a territory and co-exist would be really cool... Hmm actually, don't do that. I'm gonna try a 35 gallon aggressive tank after I'm done building my Pipefish tank, I'll let you know how it goes :mrgreen:

LOL boo damsels! I love RG's I'm freaking sad I cant have one.

I have considered doing a build thread but unfortunately I just busted the only camera in the house while on vaccation last week... My GF thought it would be super funny to bust in on me in the tiny cruse ship bathroom and take a few pictures while I screamed at her and dove for the door. I smacked the camera out of her hand and it smashed on the floor. I still claim it wasnt my fault :/

If anyone is interested in what I have so far:
-A pulsing Xenia which is now about to be 4. I had it "climb" onto some small rocks and
will be cutting the cords soon.
-5 Colts
-2 colonies and 2 frags of some awesomely pink zoas, they glow in the dark
-3 blue hermits
-5 assorted snails
-1 stupid effing rock crab hitch hiker I never see and will probably never catch
-13lbs cured live rock
-9lbs sand

A couple craptacular pics I took when all I had was a snail

Aww cmon, there are some attractive damsels out there. But I relent, Pseudochromis are nice too, and less aggressive.

Hmm ever thought about only having one fish in the tank? Then you could have your RG :biggrin: The more I read about them, the more I want one myself.

Sorry to hear about the camera... hope the rest of the trip went well, and your tank looks good for being so young.

I have thought about just having the one fish, but I think I'd find it more entertaining to have more going on in there.

haha the rest of the trip was awesome! I wish I could say "you should see my tank now" ...but you can't see my tank now :( I'm already thinking I need to get rid of some colt to make room for more stuff... It's way bigger when fully expanded than I thought it would be. I doubt anyone would look at it and think it was only a month old.

So you know what you need to do now, frag your colt and keep a chunk, sell the rest and use the money to buy your clownfish!:razz:

DSB deep sand bed...

and it was a 12 gallon aquapod.

why not forget everything else, and get a couple grammas?
they are about as fun to watch as fish get.
Take one very small on one and noticeably larger than the small one and add them at the same time...

You might even be able to try 3, one large and two much smaller ones.
I have a 72 gallon, and as stated, have a little harem of 3 grammas and they are the pride of my tank.

Could you put 3 grammas in a 14 gallon tank? I mean, wouldn't that be a bit... cramped?

Yeah just did some reading... maybe 2 but one would dominate.
