30 Gallon Nano Journal...

[Mr.September15]

haha yeah there have been a lot of horrible things that happened to my tank... First off, I think I did mention the passing of my jawfish and still haven't found out why he died! and my firefish died too RANDOMLY! In the morning he was perfect...And when I came back from school he has lying there with my hermit eating him. Scooter blenny also passed! After that I re-thought everything and really took in the advice that taking it slow is best. Since then I haven't bought any fish :] and plan to leave it that way until I get more L.R and do some remodeling. There have been lots of algae blooms lately mainly because I haven't reloaded my tank with a CUC since I bought it. So the things I need to do...

1.Kill the rest of the aiptasia that keeps on coming back!
2.Get more L.R (I need help with that...I'll talk about it in a bit)
3.Get a Clean Up Crew!!
4.Refresh my sand bed (by adding fresh new sand to the top layer since most of it gets sucked up when I siphon)

and then on my birthday which is in September...I can think of getting more fish.

So just to recap...
I need help with my L.R...I would show you the way my rock is setup right now but it's entirely the same as it was before. Now I want to start making somewhat of a wall or that two island thing that everybody else does. I need help on some ideas! If you guys can post a link where I can find inspiration for a new rock formation that would be awesome!

So far my stocking goes as follows...

2Clowns
2Bangaii Cardinals

Lets see an update hey......

 

[Mr.September15]

OKAY...Well I didn't have the courage to post this picture before due to fear of flaming and stuff. But now that I fixed the problem I don't see why I shouldn't show you the before picture...Now the reason why the tank has such a low water lvl is because these days in California it is DEAD HOT. So evaporation is crazy and I had schoolwork so I pretty much was an idiot and neglected my tank for the longest time.

Looking good! Hope u stop being lazy and top up your water

 

[Mr.September15]

haha, nah it doesn't really bother me what people say to me on the internet that much. The twins do get along pretty well actually, they actually did mate a couple of times but they always end up eating the babies or I don't collect the babies in time so they get eaten by the other fish.

Yeah I'm taking a whole new turn on my top offs from now on. It was just that I had no water to top it off so I just kept putting it off. Maybe I should invest in one of dem fancy R/O units.

 

[Mr.September15]

Nice corals, but damn, what camera are you using? shots look great

 

[Mr.September15]

lol the same camera I've always been using. 7.2megapixel Sony Cybershot Model-DSC-p200. The shots are probably looking good because I recently figured out that I had a macro option

 

[SkiFletch]

LMAO, those Sony's do tend to have good macro lenses dont they...
