What Lurks In The Not Dark Places

[sorgan]

this tank has been shut down to make way for his slightly larger brother

the live rock from this and my little NPS tank has been mixed in this tank as well as the CuC from both tanks and a pajama cardinal.

will keep it updated.

 

[sorgan]

so after a few mods and a trip to the lfs the tank is looking like

i have used 2 aquarays (i think my blue has a dodgy pcu as it flickers a bit) this looks like

shocking bodgemanship i know
a new shrimp and a few old friends

and my newest friend.... a maroon clown i love these little guys

he will not be getting a mate as the tank is a wee bit on the small side for him alone, two would be a nightmare.

 

[MrLiam]

How many litres is the tank with the maroon clown.

Thats the kind of thing im gonna do when I upgrade

P.S looking good.

 

[sorgan]

56ish or somewhere close to it. This is now the only 'small' tank have set up as I closed 2 down to do this one.

My big tank is pretty full now lol.

Why did you decide to ditch the cube Sorgan?

 

[sorgan]

It was to small really, I lost 1lt evaporation a day from a 17lt ish cube so the sg swings where to unstable.
This one should be better to keep stable, more room for coral aswell.

today i picked up the tiniest red bubble tip you have even seem, its about the size of a 50p... i know the tank is young but the LR and water are very mature so we will se how it goes. sadly no pic yet as the nem has decided to go into hiding for a while.... probably because the maroon clown has just seen it as a new house.

 

[sorgan]

just had an email from TMC and they are sending me a new psu for my blue strip happy days.
my sexy shrimp has started hosting the nem which is funny to see as the shrimp looks pretty big compared to it. i will get pictures whent he lights come on.

 

[sorgan]

the photo doesnt do the nem justice BUT it is a little bleached, some nice food will sort that out.
you can see just how small the nem is when you think that the sexy shrimp is an adult

 

[seffieuk]

Oh how gorgous, a wee baby

 

[sorgan]

so TMC have sent me a new PSU for my lights, next day delivery! customer service or what! they even sent me a double so both my lights can run off the same PSU so now the tank is looking well bright.
i have moved the LEDs to the front and put the arcpods to the back for better light spread

everything looks cool ATM and the tiny nem is a joy, i have fed it twice now and it has taken food both times first go. i am feeding it aqualabs reef pellets as the tank is in my office it is a long way to get frozen food
the sexy shrimp is a bit of a tart and will host whatever is close, one day its the nem, next it a bit of SPS. i am realy hoping the maroon clown will take up residence in the RBTA when its a bit bigger.

also added a hectors goby, this is it for stock (fish wise) now unless i see a clown goby a really like.

i also added another powerhead for surface agitation and now have some pretty monster waves

oh also spotted this

thats been in a pitch black tank for 3 months, shows how hardy zoas really are.

 

[MrLiam]

Looking good can I see a pic of the goby?
