HowardofNOVA February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 Josh, Sorry to hear about your losses! Early pics where cool with the tank being new. Something just pretty cool about a new tank with everything so shiny and all! You guys must have X-Ray vision to see anything wrong with the clam early one, Took me 3x before I even spotted the little guy, very nice pictures later on! When your back up and running Josh, drop me a line and can set you up with a couple of leather corals or so? Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 that clam looks neat, your filtration reminds me of when I first started. Glad to see it's working for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfish February 28, 2008 Author Share February 28, 2008 are you leaving your tank fishless for a while to let the ich die out? Yep, 8 weeks is my time. I mean 7 weeks 1 day I am also battleing Red Slime agae or Cynobacteria. but I think it is getting under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmubeach February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 Great job! In the mean time why don't you figure out what kind of fish you want to keep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfish February 28, 2008 Author Share February 28, 2008 (edited) Great job! In the mean time why don't you figure out what kind of fish you want to keep! Well I definitly want to get another mated pair of clowns something kind of rarer like a black Oscellaris or Picasso Clowns. I am also looking at the Orange spotted blenny. and I wouldnt mind getting a dwarf angel but I dont know much about them. I really like the Fire angel and the Lemon peel angel but dont know much about the space required and temperment. Any Suggestions from anyone. I also want to get more LR just waiting for someone to give it away I guess :P, Just kidding just looking for the right deal to come along for LR. Oh yeah, Forgot, I am probably going to get a small Lawnmower Blenny to get rid of some of that algae. :P Edited February 28, 2008 by newfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newfish February 28, 2008 Author Share February 28, 2008 Clownfish pairs are the staple of marine aquariums.

bk_market March 7, 2008 Share March 7, 2008 I think it call "Poccilipora". Do you have problem with that shrimp? I used to have one and I think he killed my firefish. I consider them not reefsafe but maybe it just mine that is violence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider them not reefsafe but maybe it just mine that is violence So far no. When I first put him in the tank he was kind of mad and wouldnt let anything near him. Now he does fine. He has finally started coming out into the open. He has been staying behind the rock with the cucumber. Hasnt attacked anything else lately but then again I dont have any fish anymore at the moment.

YBeNormal March 7, 2008 Share March 7, 2008 What kind of mushrooms are those on that rock, what color do they look? They are brown hairy mushrooms with orange centers and light blue/gray streaks radiating from the center. They are the ones that were donated to the frag workshop before last. Got em free, gave em' away for free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfish April 27, 2008 Author Share April 27, 2008 Ok, So it has been a while since I have given an update. I have been letting my tank sit fishless for a while now to let the Ich clear out. It has been more than enough time. I have also been batteling algaes of diffent kinds. Here are some update pictures with what corals have survived the algae attacks and with my new True Perc that I got from Sean at Aqua Co. It is the Cutest Little Juve. with the greatest coloring, I just love it. My Toadstool that I got from YbeNormal is doing great and just doing great. I also have some leathers and mushrooms that are looking great as well, some from Ybe. and others from txaggies07. I got a couple of large peices of LR and it just really makes the tank look so much better and the clam really loves its new spot. If anyone has anything that they would like to contribute Please let me know Hope everyone enjoys!!! Sorry about the algae I still havent totally won that battle But anyways here are the Pics.

tbittner April 29, 2008 Share April 29, 2008 Despite the algae, everything really looks healthy! What are you doing to fight the algae? What are your water readings? In particular, NitrAtes and Phosphates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfish April 29, 2008 Author Share April 29, 2008 Despite the algae, everything really looks healthy! What are you doing to fight the algae? What are your water readings? In particular, NitrAtes and Phosphates. Well I have started using RO/DI water instead of Tap. Which has really helped. I have used a chemical called chemi-clean and it worked for one round but it all just came back. Other than that I have just be trying to keep up with water changes and suck up as much of it as I can with a turkey baster I will get you my water params in a bit. Thanks for the Compliments.
