Packleader's 40 gallon thread

Nope. Not eve sure I want to. It goes straight down the drain after acclimation I am sure its not good though.

 

Any updates on this tank?

 

Not much. Nothing new added. Everything is growing pretty well. Other than that, same things here. Oh, I did, for the second time now, watch my cleaner shrimp kill a snail. Well, stomatella actually, and a big one at that. I was kinda PO'd about it. I liked that stomatella. I still havent figured out why the cleaner of all tings takes the plunge and starts killing inverts every now and again

Other than that, everybody is ready to move out of this studio apartment dump into the high rise mansion ;D

 

Let's see some new shots!!! . We know your bored enough! I would personally like to see before and after shots of that Pocci

 

This is a cross reference to the update on my 200 build: http://www.3reef.com/forums/show-off-your-fish-tanks/packleaders-200-gallon-reef-60554.html

So, because of the sump purchase, I now have to house the blenny, powder brown tang, and heniochus in the 40. Way too much. I would like to make this as temporary as possible. Any babysitters for the tang and the blenny would be GREATLY appreciated. I will frag you off anything in my tank for doing it, no limit on how much. I am not too worried about the henio in the 40, he is the smallest one I have ever seen. Tiny, so he should be fine.
I hooked up the FX5 to the 40 to try and help in the meantime. OVERKILL. But, it wont hurt. Got the sucker dialed down to about 15% and its still a little much. But it will only help. Nice freaking filter though! I can't get over how quiet the thing is. Wow.
But here are the pics of the tang and blenny. Henio is eluding the camera. Still shy, and darts out in little crackhead spurts and is hard to get a shot of.







And the filter:

 

That blenny is crazy looking. Good luck with the baby sitter search! Tell the filter good luck if you can't find a baby sitter...

 

Hey Pack. Did you check to see if they were running copper? I dont want to be a buzz kill, but that tank was a fish-only tank. I dont trust the workers there----EVER.

 

Yep. Tested the water for it myself, came back negative.

 

Awesome. You should be good then. I'm glad you got to pick one up. Nate did too!

 

Well, I have been falling off of this thread lately!
Updates: found the tang a home. That was on Monday, possibly Tuesday. Can't remember Put it on craigslist and it was gone in 3 hours. Had to tear down the tank to get the sucker out. Decided to actually remove some rock too. I have a fairly light bioload, it wasn't all needed. It opened the tank up quite a bit, and I like the looks of it now a little more. So that makes it back to the way it was: the clowns, a fire fish, my little hippo, and the mandarin. Was finally able to get ALL of my birdsnest pieces fragged onto one rock. I am seeing excellent growth from my monti cap and birdsnest. Specially the cap, which right now is the fastest growing coral I have. Nothing else much new. Torch is starting to split, again. Man I cant wait to get that sucker moved to the big tank, as its become so big, its hard to keep everything clear of it.
