PackLeader's 200 gallon Reef

Well got back about an hour ago and all was well with the tank. Had a great time, I am going to try to go again before the season is over. Might put some pics up in the bucket.

 

Glad your trip went well,I had planned on going to the Georgia Aquarium saturday but on my way home from work at 2:15a.m. friday morning it was raining very hard and came up on a tree leaning over the road and couldn't see it till it was too late. Busted the windshield,headlight,ect. Guess I'll try again in two weeks...lol.
Love to see some pics though.

 

I've always wanted to check out the Georgia Aquarium...I've heard it's got nothin' on the TN Aquarium though. A guy from Atl told me that the only great thing about the GA Aquarium is the whale sharks, and even then if you know where to look you can see those from outside the buiding.

I'd still love to go check it out though.

Pack, pics please

 

I put pics from the trip up in The Bucket:

I'm glad you had a good trip and all was well with the tank. Nice pictures in the bucket! Jwin will be out of town the end of this week and I'm heading to Florida Saturday - will have to trust the welfare of the tank to the husband and other son......scary.....

 

Well, it has been too long since I updated! But I really haven't done much. Tanks has pretty much been coasting without problems for a while. So I have decided to go ion with the stocking. I ordered a couple of fish (a gold head sleeper goby and a male blue jaw trigger) that should hopefully be in today. I am also hoping to win some of Reef Goddess's e-bay auctions this weekend. Will update tonight when I know on the fishies.

 

Well, as promised, here are my new pics!

Heres the male Blue Jaw Trigger. So far so good. He has been cruising since adding him, and is doing really well. Hasn't batted an eye at anything as far as invert wise either, and even let one of the cleaners have a go.




And the Gold Head Sleeper. Now, this is going to be interesting. I kinda had an incedent with him. Like, he spent a half second on the carpet before going in the tank. Got away from me when moving him from the bowl to tank. Didn't seem to phase him much, but he is also getting a lot of aggression from my blenny. Which is a whole other story.





And those are the new additions!
Everything else tank wise has been going well. Params are great, corals are growing like crazy.
The only thing that has been troubling is the recent aggression from my blenny, of all things. He was really targeting the clowns for the past week or so. Even to the point of pushing them out of the zoa patch and not letting them back in. I tried not to worry too much, clowns will defend themselves if pushed far enough just fine. But tonight, he was really going at the new goby as well. I am going to give it a while. But I fear if it doesnt curb soon, I may need to find a new home for the blenny.

 

Nice Blue Jaw, how big is it?

 

Probably a good 5". Its a good sized fish. I still freak out a little bit when I see the big fish in giant bags (we have no LFS here so everything kinda has to be ordered sight unseen). But they look great in the big tank.

 

I like your Blue Jaw, they are great fish. The only thing they do that's bad in a reef tank is the way they chase down food. When it's feeding time, watch out, they just barrel through to get at it. Mine has broken branches of acros chasing pellets...lol He has never bothered the cleaner shrimp.
