Sostoudt's tank.

i know these don't really show off my tanks very good i just happened to take these while i was taking pictures of frags.

This is my nano tank(15 gallons i guess that qualifies as a nano).

The refugium on the nano.

these are zoos i just cant seem to find a place for.
Now for my 90 gallon.

new frags
This is my cleaner wrasse i got him in a desperate attempt to save my kole tang from ich.(you may notice theres no kole in the pictures he didnt make it). This cleaner wrasse is one of the few that will take frozen food.

Here are my zoos these are the first coral i got.


the zoos in the two pictures are all im left with after i sold half of them to the LFS.

 

Look'n good. What is the yellow wrasse looking fish

hes this one here Yellow Wrasse (Halichoeres sp.) i got him from the LFS 4 years ago.

 

my clownfish occupying some zoos





as some of you know im currently in a battle with ich (im trying to beat it with water changes and by maintaining pristine water quality, getting there).
anyway the zoos seem to comfort him so im keeping those even though i want to sell them to the LFS, ditto for my other rock of zoos except its a domino damsel that uses those(pics of this soon to come hopefully).

now on to a more cheerful subject








drum roll please...










may i present to you...









my favorite fish....








puff(the only fish ive ever named)


when people tell you puffers have personality they don't lie. IMO their as intelligent as a very dumb dog. He loves to swim around my hand when its in the tank even letting me touch him. When i ignore him when im working in the tank he spits water at me. If im scooping water out of the tank for acclimation or water changes he will swim into water ever bucket or cup im using, as if to say "hey what are you doing" or "why isnt there food in here".

 

Nice tank.

Love story about puffer...sounds like a really awesome fish!!!!

Please consider posting a "FOTM" about it someday...i.e. what it eats, how gets along with other tank inhabitants, habits, etc...

I would really like to know...

Thanks for sharing.

Keep posting up those pics!!!

What a great job of sharing your tank. I felt like I was right there, watching your tank, seeing your corals and enjoying your fish. And what a great story about your Puffer, I could feel the emotion expressed in your story. I'm sure your proud of the bond you've made with the 1st fish you've ever named. Karma to you, you've made my day!
