Redfishsc's 11g Shoebox Reef, LEDs, and a live beer bottle!

Love the new rocks. Very cool! I dropped my ai's in the tank like that and the one that submerged is still running like nothing ever happened! Love LED tech!

 

OK folks, a couple more pics.


First, these clowns are just hard to get a photo of with my camera. I love these misbars. Both are from Doni's reef. I've had the bigger one for about 3 months, the smaller for about 1 month.








Second, I had some store credit from trading in my freshwater stuff, so I picked up this second green goniopora. Note: before YOU BUY a goniopora, you MUST do research on them. I am certain that this is not the dreaded "surely gonna die" specie" and this one actually is a frag grown from a larger colony, doing fine.




This is my first green goniopora, and it sits just above it. I've had this one (with the light blue centers) for several months.

 

We fragged this little girl off yesterday . Her name is Johanna Sophia.

She gets 100% diaper changes several times daily and mommy target-feeds her a very special food. And she is our pride and joy

 

INCREDIBLE !!! LOVE IT !!! ....and very funny ... Happy Happy Happy !!;D

 

Is this called Picasso?
Very nice, good photos indeed.

 

Almost. It is the offspring of Snowcasso clowns from Doni's Reef. This one is not "qualified" to be a picasso/snowcasso, but I'm not exactly sure of the criteria.

This one is literally a "cull", meaning I didn't pay any more for him than I would any other standard clown.

The markings on the other clown will also be striking once it colors up some (more brown).


I will say this, I love this clownfish. Has a great personality and didn't bully the smaller one when I put it in there. Paired right up (as "buddies" I guess, they aren't old enough to pair up as mates). Previously I had a different clown that would dash any other one added to the tank, and it was only a year old.

 

Ok folks, time to move!

We're moving to Summerville, SC (near Charleston). Taking the 11g and my 45g (which is empty right now) with me.

The 11g will not be a huge deal to move, I can fit all the animals (individually packed in plastic quart or pint containers) in my big cooler. I'll just mix up and take with me 10-15 gallons of seawater that's well aged and ready to use, as well as some tank water.


When I arrive, I'll set up only the 11g to start with (first thing when I arrive), and about a week after we get settled in, I'll set up the 45g. I will need to start slow on the 45g because I'm not all that sure the Arago-crete rock is ready to use (high pH). I'll toss in some hardy weed corals and a couple hunks of live rock to see how it goes lol.

 

Congrats on the new adds and your move. The last one is really, really cute.

 

1 week to go before this tank and all it's critters get packed on the Ark and driven down to Summerville SC.

I already have some extra water made up to take with me (10g), hopefully I can salvage about half of the tank water that's in there right now, it's in good shape.

 

Nice tank, love the beer bottle, it looks like a rock covered in zoos
