a month or so later..

well i have added a lot of stuff in the last couple months. since my last post i have added.

2 Seio props. a 530 and a 320.

A Aqua Euro USA hang on back Skimmer 100.

45 pounds of sand and a piece or two of rock.

And some life...

The pictures have some glare. i am trying to learn how to use a camera.











I do not have any pictures of them right now but i also added a piece of rock covered with zoa's


Let me no how my tank looks. I no it has a lot of scratches on it. That was a rookie mistake by buying a used tank and not looking for them. But its just my practice tank for when i got my giant one in the future.

Is my skimmer to low in the water? let me no if some thing looks wrong.
"besides the snow flake eel";D

 

Looking great Kenny, how many gallons is that? Love the midas blenny & the CB shrimp very cool also, just got one myself. Is that a sandsifter star, if so how often does it come out, thinking of getting one?

Scratches are annoying, don't sweat it, I bought my tank new and still managed to scratch it up a bit, no biggie gives it some character.

Are you planning to load it up with some more rock & corals?

 

I like the tank. So..about this snowflake eel? What do you think of it? I want to get one when my tank is set up. I know they will sometimes eat crustaceans. how's that working out with you coral banded shrimp? How many gallons is the tank & how big is your snowflake, currently? How long have you had him?

 

its a 65 gal. yes its a sand sifting star. id say it spends most of the time moving across the whole sand bed. Even when it sifts down i can still see its outline in the sand.

I intend on filling it with lots more rock and corals. I am going to slow down now. just adding a little bit here and there.

 

I have had the eel for about 30 days now. it is around 10'' i have not had any problems with it "yet" my peppermint and CB shrimp will scare it back into hiding when the cross paths.

it found several hiding places on its own. i made him a cave so i can see him from the couch and he just moved into it today it has not eaten in about 3 days. but i here it can be normal. i will try to mix the food up.

 

Cool, thanks for the info, I may just have to get one, I love how they glide along the sandbed.

Yeah take your time, I'm sure you'll have it nice and stocked to the brim soon, best of luck, keep the pics comin' when you do!

 

I am thinking of ettingone for my 75g reef. [1 CB angel, 2 firefish, 1 McCosker's(spell that right?) flasher wrasse, 1 tailspot blenny, 1 orange spotted goby, & I'd like to have 5 yellow clingfish]

I think they only need to be fed some meaty food every few days. What do you feed it?

 

it was eating krill ever day. id feed it with a feeding stick. but the last few days he dose not want to eat it.

 

Try a live feeder fish. Maybe soak the krill in some garlic?
