My Tanks! Well, My Attempt!

[trinac]

Had an issue while I was away in Orlando... And then the protein skimmer decided to overflow rather dramatically this morning... The tank is getting shut down. I wish I had more time / money to get everything set up properly - like a sump etc. But, it just isn't going to happen for awhile, so this tank is going to get taken down until I am able to have the time to take care of a tank properly.

So, I have some stuff for sale. Will post later on.

Will sell live rocks / fish first of course.

From what I saw today your tank is so so full and is looking good but once you move out some of the Birdsnest frags you would have some more room. Everything you have in there would look great in the 90 with room to grow.

Haha yes, a few more people dropped by yesterday to pick up pieces. And you got it! Quite a few of those corals will be going to the bigger tank too! The 30g purpose is a frag grow op really. Haha. I still want to keep the 30 in the office, makes me want to spend time in there and I sometimes work too.

Okay, hopefully you can see those! Have a good weekend canreefers! I'll post some new pics on Sunday, when I am back from my insanely awesome biking trip!! haha just kidding Tony, but the next trip is in 2 weeks so maybe see if that fits in your schedule.

Equipment list ?

Also how long did you have your tank up before adding the Green Mandrin?

Hi Leah, the cucumber is a pink hawaiian knobby I think? Fishytime or Kevin might have a better idea, I bought it from Red Coral. It found a nice spot on the front glass that it likes and filterfeeds. I spot feed it pretty much everyday with zooplankton, and when its lucky it catches mysis pieces.


Thanks Rick!


Equipment list:
Remora protein skimmer
XP1 filtration system (I clean it once / week)
4 x T5 lighting system
Koralia 1
Koralia evo 750
Ebo Jager 100 heater

I think thats about it...

And I added the dragonet a few months after the tank was set up. Probably a little early but it also eats mysis as well as the copepods.

Thanks Trina,

I am in love with your cucumber, Lol
Do you plan on moving everything into the 90 when it has cycled? And if not what are your plans for the new tank?

[trinac]

The cucumber is neat I agree, but no you can't have it Leah... haha jk

I plan on moving a couple of the corals to the bigger tank and a couple of the fish. As the frags grow, I'll move them to the bigger tank, and if some look like they'd do better under metal halides they'll go to the big tank too. The 30g will let me grow up the various frags I purchase so they look slightly nicer than pegs when they go into the 90! I still want a mix of LPS and SPS in the 90.

Looking like it'll be filled up this evening and everything turned on!!

I almost forgot to mention, all of my fish are in quarantine right now. I skipped a crucial stage and put a fish in that looked great... ahh, well the quarantine tank is in use now with cupramine and all of the fish are doing fine. Except the blenny, who succumbed to ich quite quickly. Poor guy. The rest barely show signs, but a couple have a few spots.

I can't believe I can't have him. You have caught the salty addiction I see.
