Saints Fan 420 40 Banger RaRe ReEf (New fish)

Looks great congrats. I would suggest keeping the T5HO about 12" above the water or you may photo inhibit your corals.

 

Thats funny you say that dude, thats the exact site I was talking about haha. I just emailed that jimmy dude back and forth a few times today actually. I'm from galveston, if you know where thats at, and they ship free one day ground straight to my casa. I'm planning on getting a few frags tmrw, some zoas, a xenia, and whatever else I can't do without haha. I'll post a few pics once they acclimate. I'll definitely get at you sometime. I mean I can find anything whether its around houston, or website, or whatever. I just hate to order from sites that are based far away, I'm paranoid about them getting stressed out during shipping you know.. Which is what drew me to corals2go in the first place since is right across the river in LA.

 

Having an octo tank would be SO sick though. I've read a lot of stuff on ppl having tangs in 40 breeder, and everyone said they do great. The smaller tangs at least. The breeders seem to be plenty of room for them to swim, since the breeders are fairly long and all. As opposed to having a larger tank thats taller. My livestock wish list changes just about everyday, but I'd like to find a tang that will thrive for a few years, at least till I get a little more experience under my belt and graduate to a bigger tank. I love the breeder, i'm just addicted already haha and bigger seems to be better.

 

yeah my buddy has a red octo in a biocube 29 and its sick when it move across coral and stuff blending in exactly, to where you cant see anything, then darts off to another place and blends in again...i can get a brown one for 50$ and a red one for a bill..its def gonna happen...might even turn the 30 to one soon..still thinking..

 

yeah jimmy is awesome, we do alot of business together, great guy, always does anything to please customers, and will refund anything that dies that is not your fault.. i had 2 coral beautys that didnt take the shipping to well and refunded me both times, didnt ask one question about it.. great guy with great prices.. and cant beat free shipping on orders over 40$..

 

thanks 2, just hope one day it can look like yours..

 

Yeah that $40+ free shipping is money. Are you still going to get that toadstool leather? I was checking one out on corals2go but it's a little pricey on there. I'm not sure if I wanna get a good sized one, or a smaller one and let it grow.. Once I find the right price ima jump on it though.

A hundy for that red octo.. I'd do it. Make sure you have a good cover for the tank though, I heard those things are pretty crafty. I read some thread where a dude walk in on his octo sticking its tentacle through the grate on his cover and actually unlatching it haha. I know what you mean with the camo though. A friend of my dad's who actually got me started in saltwater tanks, has a cuttlefish, its reallll tight. It'll like morph and camo and look EXACTLY like whatever it was chilling on. Its hard to explain, but its ridiculously awesome.

 

yeah i think i know what toad your talking about but i think it has another piece of coral on the rock as well..

i got a small green polyp toadstool..its about the size a half dollar piece..i like watching things grow..even tho its gonna be a year or so before its hosting size..

 

New light came yet? Make sure before and after pics please!

 

Yeahh man I'm the same way. I like watching my corals grow just as much as I like watching my fish cruise around ya know. Even though I bought a pretty big xenia piece today haha. As soon as I find a good toad frag for a decent price I'll scoop it up real quick though. Throw up a pic of your lil frag dude, I wanna check it out. So you have any new adds in mind yet?
