37 gallon new stick pics

I wouldnt mind getting an algae grazing fish, other than an lawnmower blenny anyone have suggestions for an algae grazers?

 

Very nice looking tank and can't wait to see it once it's cycled and you have everything in

 

Thanks oryo, I'm ready to start throwing stuff in now but I have a plan to wait at least 30 days before live stock hits the tank.

 

Well I am going to move up the time table on putting fish in the new tank, the clowns have begun an assault on their tank mates in the holding tank. They began chasing the hogfish all over the tank and he proceeded to jump into the HOB overflow and he didnt live much longer after reaching the sump. I thought maybe the clowns spawned and thats why they became aggressive all at once but I cannot find any evidence of a spawn. So my plan is to add my remaining cave goby first and add the clowns and their anenome later once I know the water parameters will support the anenome.

 

the only fish I can think of other than the lawnmower blenny that is a good algae eater is a tang - but unfortunately, your tank is too small for one of those. I usually suggest a variety of snails and hermits to help with algae.

 

I was wondering the same thing and oldfishkeeper said exactly what I have been told a few times so +1

 

Well it has been quite the week for my fish tanks. This week I began to get quite the GHA bloom in the cycling bowfront and so I figured now was as good of a time as ever to hook up the sump to it to help get things under control before adding the fish towards the end of the month. I unhooked the drain line from the hob overflow and much to my surprise the entire back had a crack running through it. It seems that a few more days and there would be more the salt creep coming out of it. I contemplated drilling the back of the tank but in the end that would have probably made 10 times more work and a lot more work so I ordered a new eshopps hob overflow. Had the last one for 4 years with no issues so I can't complain. I'm going to use the sumps downtime an give it a good wipe down and revamp it before hooking it up to the new tank. I'm considering taking out the dsb(which was something a LFS said when I first set it up that I had to have in a sump) and just going to all live rock(pieces or rubble) for more filtration. I also plan on changing the macro algea I keep from feather caulerpa to chaeteomorpha because the caulerpa keeps breaking off and ending up in my return pump. My Duncan coral is taking over my small frag rack and the blue green mushrooms are taking over the 10gallon tank.

 

Well I made 2 purchases today, I got an encrusted Hollywood stunner frag and a really nice sized green pocillopora frag. I will post pictures tomorrow after everything settles in.

The 10gallon holding tank looks really nice I almost don't want to start moving things into the bowfront, almost. Fish are going to go into the bowfront maybe Tuesday which will make it a full 4 week cycle. As of now I have 2 Astrea snails and 2 dwarf hermits in the tank to tidy up the new tank.

 

Good luck with the move, and congrats on the purchases.

 

Thanks Corailline, things are finally starting to come together. I was wondering do you know of anyone who has moved a pair of clowns and their hosted anemone? I'm not totally sure how to go about it and I really don't want to break the bond but I also don't want the tank to have a mini cycle after introducing fish and the anemone not make it.
