New addition to the Family

And like a good man you listened to your wife!!! LOL My hubby is a good boy too.. he he he.. (give man his 3 basic needs he listens to you)

Anyways.. NICE tank.. I can not wait till I can upgrade to a larger tank. I have a 14g tall right now. I am still working on it and thinking of what tank is next... Tax refund!!! LOL

Oh tell your wife nice aqua-scaping.

 

I will let my wife know you like it.. This will make her very happy. I must admit it did make things a lot easier and when I add fish they are going to have plenty of hiding places and swimming room. You can't tell by the pictures but we also left space between the back and some of the LR.

Also thank you everyone for your comments.

 

Cycle finished last week sooooo of course I had to buy some fish and moved my Yellow Tang from my 30.

I got a Powder Brown(total ham), Sailfin(played hard to get), Pinkbar Goby(he would not make an appearance), and a cleaner wrasse(just to darn fast for closeup).









What do you think!!!:trampolin

 

ooohhh I like

 

Nice fish. Congrats on the new tank!

 

what's your clean-up crew like?

 

I added about 10 hermits, 10 turbo and a peppermint last week from the LFS but had to wait for my paycheck to post on monday before I placed my big order. see below.. Think that will cover the tangs output. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Coming in this week! Can't Get them fast enough..

Scarlet Reef Hermits 60
Dwarf Blue Leg Hermits 60
Astraea Turbo Snails 20 60
Nassarius Snails 40
Cerith Snails 30
Peppermint Shrimp 6
Emerald Crab 5

 

How exciting!!! I love the CUC.. I love seeing little creatures hard at work.

 

Nice looking tank. If your looking for live sand, anything you buy in a bag over the internet or in a bag on a shelf in a store is not live. no matter what anybody says. If you can find a reputable fish and reef store within driving distance, many of them sell live sand which they culture in their tanks. They take it right from their tank, put it in bags and you take it home and put it in. Yes, its usually more expensive, but the difference is night and day. If you were thinking about growing SPS corals in the future i would recomend going to aragonite, or even crushed coral to help with your Ph. And as for live rock, the less live rock you have the more skimming your going to have to do. Id shoot for at least a pound per gallon, leaning towards a pound and a half. Looks good, cant wait to see it up and running, I like that its a s long as the couch, so everyone has a good view.

 

Sweet Tank! very nice aqua-scaping!! but, to be the bearer of bad news, don't expect the cleaner wrasse to live long, unless you can find a place to get beef heart. A few people I had met in the past said it was the only way to get them to eat, one guy had his for... i think going on 4 years or something with just beef heart if i recall, then it starting taking prepared foods. Deffinately worth doing more research and giving a try, but like Linkia's they truely are better off left in the ocean, hope you have great success with him though
