Greg's 75g

I have printed pics for my clown to look at ...
Aside from the ones my Wife wants to see, I hope the clown pics the ones we like ...
Don't lose faith ...
We may get this captive bred Vancouver Aquarium Amphiprion ocellaris to host something yet ....

I'll keep you all up to date as it happens ...

I tried it for a month solid no luck. I don't know if thw age has anything to do with it as mine are still young, just a year old

My clown doesnt even look at my torch

often times clown fish hosting in euphillia doesnt work out so well.....Ive seen clowns kill torches and on the flip side Ive seen burn marks on the clowns from being stung, that can lead to secondary skin infections.....the best relationship is with a nem.....

That is why I was a little hesitant to put my gold bar in .. I wasn't so worried about him but the corals with him thrashing and damaging things. So far so good.

Greg, nice to see the evolution of this tank after a few months, looks like it's maturing and all the hard work payed off, no more pest slate on the rocks...
Looks great buddy!

Hi Greg - just looking through your thread - very nice set up - glad to see how well everything is coming. Well done! Regarding a new camera, obviously the Cannon is very popular - I have a new Sony A65 and am very, very impressed with it - another option to consider. Again, well done on your set up!

Thanks guys. We're enjoying it more now that we're past some of the teething pains

I'm still getting a lot of dusty algae on the glass, but other than that, it's staying very clean now

After seeing Shelley's post about her 55g I realize my new Euphyllia is sometimes called an Octospawn
The clown has looked it over a couple of times and I've decided to just let things happen for now. Hosting or not, I'm OK either way

I've had to take down the chaeto tank as I built the baffle too high and water eventually started to seep out the top between the glass and the trim
Just more proof that silicone, glass and plastic don't mix well
I'm going to try and slot the baffle and I'm not in a hurry as I don't have any chaeto right now

You should split the fuge into 2 parts, the fuge and a section for a little algae scrubber. I hear you don't need to scrape the glass as often with one as the algae is beong encouraged to grow elsewhere. Not sure if that's 100% accurate or not bit if i had room on my tank I'd install one.

Since this hobby is all about throwing money away ...

I bought some Berghias today from Bill
I tried to catch my Peppermint shrimps - to no avail

Over the next week or so I'll try to catch the shrimps, but I think I'll have to buy more Nudis

I was going to post some pics, but Photobucket is down ...
