SkyFire's 46 Bow Front - Update 1-1-16

I moved the bowfront to another position in the living room to make way for a larger tank. The move was fairly easy, I drainded the tank to about 8" or so left of water and slid the tank to it's new position. THank God for hardwood floors .

The fuge is also more visible now so I'm happy with that.
My daughter caught the fry left in the DT and put them into the fuge so it's easier to catch later when ready to sell or trade in at the LFS. We have about 25 Molly fry in the 10 gallon fuge....Think I'm overstocked??? LOL

The Tank in it's new place.


The fry in the fuge (so far have the overflow, return pump and sand, just need the tubing)

This time it's an invert addition.

*EDIT Found out it's truel a a feather star

Wow, that star is gorgeous! Really neat. Are those easy to keep?

Those fry are big already! cute!

 

Thanks.
Yeah the star is a filter feeder, eats phytoplankton so got a bottle of that, which the corals will enjoy too.

The larger one is from the first batch they had in the nano tank about 2 months ago (she's about an inch long now) the others are from the newest batch of 25+ fry and are about 2 weeks old or so. The younger ones are growing quicker (maybe because they don't have to have to hide, I guess)

 

New FTS Shots + New Addition

Added a Hawiian Feather Duster the other day & did some rearranging and today added sand to the fuge so here are some pics.

Finally!

Went to one of the LFSs to get something with my points (you get a point per dollar spent then get 100 and get a free $10 frag or $10 off another purchase.

So I finally got my Mandarin. This one is male but they are going to try and catch the other which is female (they didn't even know it was a female...LOL) so I'm hoping to get it soon.

They are both eating frozen so I'm happy.

He looks to have already staked out a small cave in the back of the center rock.

 

Awww so cute and pretty!! I absolutely love mandarins. Congratulations!!

 

Thanks. I'm loving the new addition...now for them to catch the girl.
