Reef_Geek's tanks

my purple dotty's been ok with the pair of small A.percula (1.5" ea) in the 25gal frag tank. I understand they get aggressive, primarily towards other basslet types or look-a-likes, and aggression is exacerbated with limited space in a smaller tank.

Is there possibility your sixline jumped independent of your dotty?

Nop sixline jumped because of being harassed by the dottyback. I would say it was sixline's fault since he started the fight when dotty was introduced.

Now he is being a bit aggressive towards the firefish but to my utter surprise, the clowns the defending the firefish :O Whenever the dotty would come towards firefish, they would rush to the scene and the dotty would move to his side. Such a wonderful thing! I hope his aggression towards firefish comes down. He is just too pretty to be taken out and I can't find any other pretty fish which is reef safe.

BTW sorry for hijacking your thread :$

no worries.

Maybe you have an octagon shaped tank.

Added Acropora formosa and Acanthastrea (not yet opened) from Tidal_Waters




Added Flame Hawk (Neocirrhitus armatus) from Ocean Creation




One of the Blastomussa started showing receding tissue and exposing skeleton. I just read that Blastomussa are actually surprising tricky... having very latent reaction to stress, and typically thought to be due to being exposed to bright light too quickly. It's been 8 days since I moved my 2 tanks into one big reef, I must have placed this frag too close to the light... 8 days later it's showing stress. Bugger. I've just moved it to the sand bed, might be too late.

You are really really quick grabbing awesome deals :P I wish I had a car

The hawk looks awesome. Been there yesterday and that fish is a beauty.

Orange tang is clever! It is named such that the oceanic authority cannot sue them for stealing any name!

Haha. I don't like shapey shapey (sorry no such word exists but you do get the idea :P) tanks. I prefer long foot print tanks (currently have a 20long)
