ok i dont have to move the tank anymore

theyve put the sofa in front of it, but its a small sofa so it doesnt block any of the tank

ive identified the green algae type thing on the left as Neomeris sp.

help me with my last fishy

 

[shibby]

gold rainfords are nice! so are canary wrasses for a dash of yellow ! a yasha and shrimp pair would be cool.

hawkfish are nice too particualary flame and falco.


leopard or pygmy wrasse also lovely fish.


o and tank looks good, love 6lines such charecters!

thanks shibby.

I have a problem now, my 6 line is really aggressive towards my 2 clowns, i dont know whether this might calm down or whether i should take him back?

i will be quite sad if i have to take him back because ive been after one for quite a while and its so nice

well, woke up this morning to find that one of my hermits was feasting on one of my astreas

went into my lfs to pick something up and decided that id take a chance on the gold rainfords goby, i understand its quite difficult to keep but i constantly have hair algae, lots of pods and also i have red algae strips so i should be ok

thanks,

oops forget tosay i was picking it up next saturday i need time to catch my pajama wrasse (involves taking the whole tank apart ) so that the rainfords will be able to settle in without being picked on!

This is a great journal. I am considering this tank myself and wondered if you could tell me what your thoughts are regarding pros and cons with this tank. You've done a great job so far

thanks jenny

just an update before the pros/cons bit. I had to catch my pyjama wrasse by taking apart the whole tank, once id caught it, it was too late to go to the lfs so its floting in a bag until tommorow. The aquascaping was much more difficult than last time and ive decided to take the tonga rock back to the lfs as i didnt really like it. Also i finally managed to get my giant fossilised clam on show!

the tank is great,

the pros are:

• Has 3 compartments in the back that con be used as your filtration
  The 1st compartment is big enough for a skimmer if you move your heater to the third compartment
  The 2nd compartment can be modded with a light to make a fuge
  blue background
  comes with lights so you dont have to mess around trying to get your own lighting

cons:

• Powerheads combined are not powerful enough (most mod by taking out the top pump and add a maxijet 1200)
  comes with ceramic rings/bioballs which arent really of any use in marines
  some complain that the heater is rubbish but ive round it to be good

thats about it with cons

Avoid the rainsfods goby. They're exceptionally picky eaters and don't do well in home aquaria

 

[orange shark]

i was going to but he's taking some prepared food at the lfs and i have lots of hair algae and pods

 

[orange shark]

just to add, after moving my tank around i have found another hitchhiker...a bristleworm...i dont realy know if this is normal but he has a red top?

Thanks for your thoughts on your tank

It's a choice of this or the 24 gal D-D nano for me

the goby has turned out (accidently fell across this) to be a Hector's Goby, not a Rainfords goby

dont know if this makes it any better
