Alec's 40gal breeder chronicles!

Its a carpenters flasher wrasse.. Nothing too special or expensive. He's a great lil fish though. He's been active from the time I put him in the tank, eats till he looks like hes about pop, and doesn't bother any of the tankmates. I've been lucky getting some really good fish lately

 

Staring contest....

 

Who won lol. That is too cool!

 

It's been a few wks so I thought I'd do a little mini update.. Sadly, my copperband died about a week ago. He seemed fine and ate like a champ. Then one nite he was acting real laxidazical(sp?) and I found him dead the next morning. All my other fish are fine, so that's good. I guess it's unavoidable to have a few deaths here and there in the hobby, so oh well I suppose. It happens. Anyways, I've moved a buncha stuff around. I bought some new sps frags a few weeks back, so I swapped a few things around and put all my sps up top. Then my nem is getting so big, I had to move some other things away from it. I bought a wavemaker the other day, I've had it set up for like a day now and the corals and fish seem to like it. I'm getting a bigger powerhead soon, so it'll be much better then. Today, I actually bought a new fish from a buddy of mine that was selling his tank. It's a waspfish, cool little guy. I have a little picture of him, but he was kinda in the shade and my camera sucks. So I'll get a better one soon for sure.

 

Hey Alec bro, what uuup?? Sorry about the loss.. It's sometimes frustrating, but it kinda makes this hobby interesting, I guess.
Anyways, congrats on the new adds! Try and capture close ups of new frags?

 

Yeah I'm not too beat up about it, I knew coming into the hobby that inevitably I would kill some fish. Definitely frustrating though. I'll try and get some better pictures, all I have is my iphone 3 and it doesn't take very good ones.. My brother has the new iphone, so I'll try with his. You can see them in the pictures with the sps on the tops, the smaller pieces.

 

Sorry to hear about your loss. I lost a yellow tang a few weeks back as well along with a damsel. Very frustrating. Glad to see an update though. It's been awhile lol. Look like some cool frags you got!

 

Thanks stick. Yah I haven't been updating that regularly lately.. Not having a decent camera is annoying. I'm fixing to buy the new iphone though, and I'm sure the camera is better than my old one. So I'll be taking a bunch of pictures for sure.

 

I like the camera on my iPhone 4S. The color is sometimes off especially when the tank is too blue for it, other than that, it's nice. Just snap a few and upload them to a photobucket album in no time.

 

Yeah totally, I have tapatalk for forums on my phone, so I just upload them from my photo album straight to my thread. My tanks pretty damn blue, but I can't imagine the pics looking any worse than they do with my phone now haha. I'm hoping it'll be a big step up though.
