[December Photo Contest VOTE NOW!!!!]

Is that a goby, second to bottom? If so, what kind? (Really cute!)

It is actually a Tailspot Blenny

Really cool little guy!

I believe this is the right post but read the following

When you try to do similar things the story just doesn't end well.

I would expect it will be pummeled until it tries to become invisible in one of the corners of the tank.

[convert a fluval to what?]

I actually use mine for a media reactor for the neozeo system. I just throw a few peices of the zeolite media in there and when needed I just shake it.

Works great.

[Nano fish]

Not sure if its been suggested yet or not, but I have to recommend the Possum Wrasse and the Yashia Goby.

These are great fish and the goby can be paired easily with a pistol shrimp.

 

Hope it helps.

Any chance that your test kit could be testing wrong?

Possibly try another test kit or take it to a LFS and have them test it for free. Most have Lab grade test kits.

 

 

Maybe even try a little bit of BioClean from Prodibio.

[Couple of cool pics just taken]

Thank You, I thought the Snail was really cool

[Couple of cool pics just taken]

They go by a couple of different names. Ninja Star Astrea, Shooting Star Astrea, and Star Astrea.

Here are a couple of cool pics taken. Hope you enjoy

 

 

 

[Invert Eye Candy!!!]

Thought this was a pretty nice picture.

 

[Camera Value]

I have a Cannon Power Shot S5 that I am thinking about selling but am unsure how much to sell it for.

Any Suggestions?

It is about a year old and in great condition.

[Goniopora]

Major steps in feeding and overall better chemical balances in synthetic saltwater has made goni's a coral not to fear... Ask me how many have died in my shop....ryhymes with "Hero". Feeding is a huge part of success.. Ask me what my mortaility rate is on green chromis.... why do people buy those? Bangaii Cardinals? Hippo Tangs? Powder Blue's/Browns, Copperbands? Acro's....dont get me started on SPS.

 

Dont fear the goni's!!! Just ask what you need to take care of them...not an upsell. Tropic Marin, Fauna Marin, Brightwell and Two Little Fishes make great foods that will ensure long term success. I have three service tanks wtih 'em....All three over a year old!

 

Just some input from a professional insider.

 

BTW, I have some killer Red's and Outstanding Blues that are doing amazing!

 

 

Don't forget to mention the feeder tentacles coming out of some of the Frags. REALLY COOL

[species tank - 54 gal corner -suggestions for single species fish inhabitants]

The yellow banded pipefish and the Dragon Pipes are really cool. I dont think you would have a problem with them getting lost or anything.

[Nano Skimmer?]

Remora nano is a good choice, deltec mc300, and tunze doc nano 9002.

 

 

I have the Tunze DOC Nano 9002 on my 24 AquaPod. It works great and fits perfect in the back of the Aquapod.

[Kmitch's Slice o' Reef 34gal Solana]

I've been having some trouble getting the Tunze Nano Doc 9002 skimmer to work well for me, its actually really ticking me off.

 

 

 

what kind of problems are you having with the Tunze. I have had one for months now and it works like a charm. Was easy to set up and started skimming right away.

[Montipora spp. prop. questions]

GO WITH RADIUM BULBS. They are great. I have one in my Aquapod and the color is great.

[Hilary's 90g]

Hilary,

I think you need more Corals and Fish, and Clams, and another Rhizo or 2.

[Stocking nanos]

Any interest in Pipe fish? The African Blue striped ones that Leishman has are great, there are also the Dragon Pipes which are really cool or Yellow striped pipes which are gorgeous as well.

 

Yashia gobys are really cool too.

[Invert Eye Candy!!!]

[Missing Trimma Goby]

They are REALLY Fast. Keep an eye out. It should turn up eventually

[Any body out there?]

I agree, Most people just post in the Dedicated Tank Forum to share their tanks and process.

Check em out

[Newfish's 24G Aquapod]

As most of you know I started with a 30G tall and have recently transferred everything into a 24G AquaPod. Enjoy the pics and feel free to add comments or recommendations. I know that some may disagree with me transferring my tank over but I really like the look of the Aquapod and feel that it will be easier for me as far a maintenance. Everything is looking great and seems happy so far.

 

Here is what I have sooo far. Some of the corals in the photos are still adjusting to the new lights so please forgive them they are coming from a T5 fixture to HQI Lighting(Metal Halides). Also please excuse the amateur Photography I am still working with the lighting. When taking macro shots for some reason it makes the picture dark and if I turn the flash on I dont like the way it looks. You will be able to tell the difference(any suggestions welcome)

 

 

Thanks and again, Please enjoy :P

[Newfish's 30 Gallon]

Here is my newest addition from Sean at the AquaCo.

 

Its looking great. The mushrooms are like the size of large pancakes.

 

 

 

[Why won't my monti's live]

Thanks everyone for the advice. I understand that my system is new and may not be quite ready yet. I will wait a while to try again. I will stick to softies for now. They seem to be easier anyways

 

Thanks again everyone
