flooddc September 26, 2016 Author Share September 26, 2016 (edited) Hi all! Been busy outside pulling weeds !! Caught this little guy off the Florida's Clearwater back in June! Thought it was a puffer at first but look like some kind of cowfish. cute little guy, but we let it back into the ocean after some photo shots! Tanks update: not much changes in the last few months. Loss a few colonies and frags and very little growth, but over all not too bad. Maybe need new lighting/My 4+ years old LED maybe going south!

flooddc January 2, 2018 Author Share January 2, 2018 (edited) Looking good, Chuck. I just don't think you have enough anemones though. Me too. I’ve been thinking about adding a few more of different variety of BTA. Edited January 2, 2018 by flooddc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flooddc March 1, 2018 Author Share March 1, 2018 Trap is set! It's the third day... Trap by t@#$%c, on Flickr trying to catch this guy/gal! Normally its only chase after the other chromis and it's not the most aggressive fish in there. It's afraid of the tomato clowns and yellow damsel and even the PJs. But for some reason he/she has recently attacking the sailfin tang. Trap by t@#$%c, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flooddc March 31, 2018 Author Share March 31, 2018 After I loss the female 6-line wrasse. I've decided to find a replacement 6-line for the widower wrasse. However, I stumbled on an orchid dottyback @ petco and after a few weeks of observing it, I decided to give her a home. She has been hidding for over a week after released into the tank and finally come out to play. Couldn't get a good video of the true color, but it will do for now.

flooddc July 27, 2018 Author Share July 27, 2018 Seeing this tank the other day makes me want to tear my crap down and start over. haha! "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" I wish I could get some of the coral to grow faster like yours. About 1/4 of mine coral in my tank grow very well, but the one that I like to grow a bit faster doesn't budge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.ocellaris July 30, 2018 Share July 30, 2018 The anemones do look different compared with the one I bought from you. The one in my tank is getting bigger every day and I pray that she stays put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flooddc July 30, 2018 Author Share July 30, 2018 The anemones do look different compared with the one I bought from you. The one in my tank is getting bigger every day and I pray that she stays put. The one you see in the latest video in the center is a flame tip. The one you got from me is a rainbow, it's a clone of one of the other anemones in the back of the tank. Anemone will look different from tank to tank as well as different lighting. growing and healthy is a good sign. Hopefully it doesn't move. I loss a few to powerheads when they released from the rock trying to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flooddc August 21, 2018 Author Share August 21, 2018 Got a new resident for the tank. I was very worry of the yellow tang when I introduced the new smaller purple tang last night. I know the yellow tang will be super aggressive toward the new tang. As suspected, it went nut but not attacking. I shut off all the lights to let the new fish adjust to its new home. Today, the tank is a bit calmer and the yellow tang also much less aggressive toward the new resident. Surprisingly, the one fish that I never thought would have any aggression is the hippo tang. It's has always been a good tank mate. Today, it's attacked the new fish during feeding and occasionally chase the new fish. The most noticeable fish is the yellow damsel. Constantly, harassing the new fish. Might have to sump it if it continue to harass the tang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime August 22, 2018 Share August 22, 2018 I've only done a 150 with a purple tang and a yellow. They eventually cohabitated. I think it's a crapshoot. Tanks looking great though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
