I got down making the top for my 120gallon. It only cost me $14 and 2 hours to build. I just went to home depot and bought the pressure treated wood that was on clearence. Now I have to paint it but I'm in no hurry. I'm going to purchase more live rock to finish of the top and sides of the tank.
At one time it was half base and half live rock. I just mixed the two and the carolline algea started to grow on the base. So now you can't tell which is which.
If I may ask what are the 2 blueish shiny looking fish in the top right of the picture they are swimming away from the camera one is following the other?
I got 2 of those fish yesterday and I just really cant remember there names! How stupid of me eh?
They are blue/green chromis. I have 11 of them. During the day they are always together then as soon as the lights go off they disappear. They are part of the damsel family. I think they are the best ones.
I agree with Usmc. Chromis caerulea to be exact. They're great. I've tried other damsels and they were quite aggressive but no serious damage was done even if they were guarding a large part of territory(live rocks). I've had some clownfish and with the anemones moving around, it was unfortunate that the damsels could not guard their territory.:bluelaugh: The clowns eventually took over. Thanks to the anemones.:thumbsup:
It was my past experience. I never miss memories of keeping salties for almost 2 years.:crazy: They were great. It makes me miss the sighting of my Bicolor Butterflyfish and then the Royal Gramma. Surely, I will miss them. I have no plans to go back to marine. At least, for now I don't.:mrgreen:
Okay...So my 3-striped damsel died due to unknown causes my water was fine and everything he was just unhealthy. But 2 days ago i got 2-blue/green chromis- and there so lovely. They have great colors and there starting to come out more and more...Great fun energetic fish. I got home and i totally forgot the name of the fish I felt so dumb. I wanted to update my signature but I didnt know the name. Now i can Thanks
Hi, Welcome to my first reef! Attached you'll see (hopefully) pictures of where I'm at so far. The clearer water picture is about 3 days after I put water and sand in. 80 lbs of Ocean Direct Caribean Live sand and about 10 lbs of live rock. The more cloudy picture is after I raked the sand...
I thought keeping a journal on my saltwater experience and everything I noticed while caring for my fishes.
I'll probably post something new at least once a week, I'm going to try to upload pictures now and then too.
So to start it's day 4 since I got my 2 swordtails and my leopard Cory. My...
Hello everyone.
After almost a year hiatus, I am back fishkeeping! Last year CT had some wicked power outages and I lost all of a 150 gallon reef tank :cry: Last week I took a vacation from work and set up a twenty long freshwater tank for my son with some Platys and Cories and I got an itch...
I decided to join as I have started a new (bigger) tank than the previous one and I need all the help I can get for future headaches and problems.
I would like to ask if anyone is interested about the tank history, to please read the whole thread here as I am gonna sit forever to copy and...
Just wanted to share the picture taken a couple days ago. I love seeing the progression of the tank. I started this tank in February, and have kept adding small things (corals, fish, etc) Many of my corals have really taken off from where they were when I bought them as small frags :-D
