Sunday Pics

So it is Sunday and it is raining. My favorite kind of day. Stuck indoors.....;D

So here are some pics I took in my tank while there is no flow (silicone is curing for the last time).

My Longnosed Hawkfish




Half tank shot





Green Star Polyps and my Pulsating Xenia. My Xenia is doing much better than the last two frags I had. Much better.









Family shot





My Turbinaria. It did sooooo much better when I moved it to the bottom of the tank. Lower flow and really bad light penetration from my PCs




The newest addition to my tank. I thought I was buying an orchid dottyback. However, on closer inspection, it is a magenta dottyback. I like the color better, however it will limit my shrimp population to those a lot bigger than it.




Peace.......John.

 

tanks looking good john!!

was your pagoda that color when you got it?

 

there some nice tank shots hope you have luck plugging up that leak.

 

Looks very nice! Glad to here your have got the leak under control.

 

Yup......Is it supposed to be. Now I am paranoid. What's wrong with it? Is it going to live? OMG, I am freaking out!!!!! Just kidding.;D

Yeah....it took a long time to open up and find it's place in the tank. It really likes low flow and low light.

 

Not yet. Working on it. There is some serious capillary action going on here. I am going to test here in an hour or so.

 

lol, they come in all verieties of colors, shouldnt be a problem if thats the way it came

btw have you fead yours yet, mine's pollyps literally battle for every little morsel that comes near it, kind of neat to watch.

 

forgot to say, with that long-nose hawk, i doubt you will be able to get any type of clams in the future, my friend had a couple diff. hawks in his 120 a loooong time ago and they allways killed/ate whatever types of clams he tried to put in there, i think he also whitnessed one of them eating his huge (brittle?) star-fish....just "food for thought" ;D

 

Yeah.....he was my animal rescue from a tank full of death at Petco. I knew about their eating habits, but since he was small, I wasn't too worried. He will be going away here in the month or so. Back to a more reputable LFS that can give him a good home without killing him first. I am also, getting rid of my three damsels. So four fish out and one fish in. I want my red coris wrasse. They are beautiful when they age.

 

No I haven't. I did not know what to feed it. I have just left it alone until it looked acclimated to it's surroundings. Now that we are there, let me know and I will go for it. Will frozen brine shrimp do?
