While it's not a bad sized tank, the lights are not very good. You'll need to upgrade your lighting significantly if you want to keep corals successfully. What are your goals with your Marine tank if you plan to set it up. L

Just a lot of biting and shredding of anemones that you'd think they'd host. Similar to your clown weirdness. I'm very sorry that your clowns won't make it. We kind of made fun of their shenanigans, but it still was a strange turn of events with these two fish. L

Ok, when you hover over the image, you'll see four lines, one says image tag. if you click on it, it'll copy. Try that first. I just find it really strange that you can't copy your own images, especially when I can copy your images on your photobucket and it's not even my account. L

I'm glad you like it. I just did my taxes so this cheers me up too. :D

Wow, I nearly made you and your sister pass out? But what's more impressive, Manwife is impressed with my crazy. Interesting... I'm that crazy huh? But you wanna know what's super cool? The bugger's still riding the thing, kid you not... Oh man, thank goodness astraea snails don't puke like...

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBjBV8f0o08&list=UUZ3O4QwvcGmhfE1yafPRLxw&index=1&feature=plcp And some tank pictures... Thanks for looking, :D

That's strange that it won't let you post the individual pictures. Let me see if I can, but I've got to sign off to do my taxes now. I'll see what I can do later today. L

Thank you. I'm happy with this tank, but I'm not resting on any laurels yet. Try me again in 6 months. Yes, the round and square "plugs" are to hold the frags. Usually frags are glued into place using a coral glue. I'd totally share with you, but if plants have a hard enough time crossing...

You got a pair of really, really stupid fish. I do think that being tank-raised can leave fish without some critical "common sense" experience that a wild specimen would have. That being said, I've never kept clowns. Haha, will be avoiding them, as my LFS also has trouble with tank raised...

haha, got your first shed, huh? The shrimp aren't so bad. The ones that make me scared a bit are the porcelain crabs. It basically looks like a crab. I still do a double take when I have three porcelain anemone crabs instead of two. :blink: Especially when I'm tired.

Good, can't wait to see it. :)

We don't believe you... You lie to us and tease us with mocha clowns... Hehe, I don't even like clowns. :lol:

Are these your pictures? L

What the Biocube looks like now... For a while I've been posting bits here and there, but nothing really full out on this Biocube, it's time I showed. I've been kind of quiet about the corals I have in this tank. On purpose. Full tank shot, with Mantequilla... Aussie Acan Lord Wobbgong...

Awwww, I'm very happy for you. You'll like a gramma. Just keep the lid on, they like to carpet surf. :( L

Go to the LFS and take a picture... Hahaha! L

Take a look at your thread and tell me what you think. I have special mod powers with posts. Do you like that you can see the pictures directly on the thread? L

Yeah, I'll probably get the bulb before I do the upgrade. So I will post pictures and do a final photo shoot of the 8g as it is a seamless tank. I more than likely keep this same thread too, as the tank is still technically the 8g and was born, last August. For me the age of the tank commences...

Yep, and I decided that if the elegance does well in my Cube, I really would like one for the upgrade. They are a stunning coral. L

Haha, Mancha! Me gusta! Mantequilla has its reasons. I've got a Panda goby named Lemmiwinks because of Southpark. Well there was this silly episode called the "The Last of the Meheeekans" and it was... well... Southpark. :rolleyes: Butters is stuck in Mexico and goes by the name...

I've run a 10k, didn't like it, too yellow for a Marine tank. Sorry, I've got a 14k now, not a 12k, and I like it, but I've got a lot of zoas in this tank and I just really think they'll pop something serious with a 20k, I already have really nice color. Yes, the 110 space is nearly double...

Oh I know the tank is big, but the discus are soooooooo big and beautiful that they actually make the tank look smaller than it is. I've never seen discus like that before. Wow! Why are the neons so scared of the discus? Hehehe You probably have to adjust the white balance on your camera. The...

Haha, so funny how men get in the presence of the ladies. :lol:

Pictures or it didn't happen. :nod: L

Ooooooo, a poll... L

I'm sorry, Si. :( It's rough I imagine. I don't have two houses to pay for. :( :friends:

PS: light it with LEDS or a weak Metal Halide, I'm being serious. This tank will demand shimmer... L

That's insane, Si. I'd call. That can't be right. It's not the SW generating the power, it's Metal Halides that really use up juice and he doesn't have Metal Halides. More than likely its the stuff keeping the vivs warm that's eating some power. But even so, I've got two SW tanks with MH and...

Absolutely! So SH, tell that next patient he/she can wait a spell while you snap some pictures of the happy parents and their brood. And video, we'll need video. You got followers on this thread now, you cannot disappoint us. :D L

If it's densly planted... Hmmmmmmm Blast! Why couldn't you make this a 40g breeder? Then I'd say 25 hatchets and 25 catfish, but you'll have to settle. 15 hatchets 15 C. habrosus With patches of E. tenellus, and smaller swords, with frogbite on the surface... Intertwined with bogwood roots...

Thanks, it stinks. You never know what goes on in the mind of a fish. He was wild caught. Maybe they like to carpet surf more than the captive bred. I don't know. My other fish are fine. I'm not sure I want to replace him yet. The gramma will be a tough one to replace too, he was a great...

If you check MARC, there is already a Youtube video guide on fragging mushrooms and leathers. I've read through your zoa guide. It's pretty good, but I'd love some pictures on the process. I'll have another look at it tonight to let you know if any other changes should be made. Sorry, yes I...

Marble hatchetfish paired with corydoras habrosus. It's not really the best I can do, but I think it'd be an interesting grouping. L

Thanks everybody. I took some pictures & videos tonight. I'll be uploading them tomorrow. Mantequilla & the new firefish get along. You'll get a full tank shot of the tank since the CUC was added. And finally a full list of corals. L

Ok, in this case, irony stinks. I'm gutted. I just got home from work. I forgot to put the extra wrapping on my old 8g to prevent any goby from jumping. There are gaps that I seal with plastic wrap. I ALWAYS do this. Except today, I forgot. Gutted... Only it's not my YWG I find on the floor...

And... Stick with nanos & picos. But these tanks are not without their own challenges. L

MTS = multiple tank syndrome. :lol: I'm just teasing you. Sorry, SH, you gotta setup a SW before you do cichlid tank. You without SW is well... like me without plants! It just don't go... We need another SH SW über journal thread! :hyper: Granted if you must move the kribs out, I had a 29g...

When the fry grow then, you'll have a male:female ratio that will be pretty evenly distributed with perhaps a slight bias towards males. I had a higher pH and got mostly males. A more acidic pH will result in more females. Those are a lovely selection of fish. I like badis & always wanted a...

More pictures, he's pretty. :) IMO, better looking than the Helfrich.

Ok, so there's a reason why I've got the disclaimer up in my journal. I'm giving this fish a try. If it doesn't work I can put him somewhere else or, return him to the store. Don't do this sort of thing if you haven't done the research or if you don't have multiple back up plans. I'm being...
