Biff's 90 Gallon Downgrade

[Sunshine]

GO !!!!!! Go now before the good ones are gone....... lol Love them great sales at the LFS. Ours is having one this weekend also. Their one year anniversary.....

 

[dcantucson]

I thought they were having a sale this weekend! I remembered getting an email about it, and when Justin was over, he reminded me of the sale.

Yes it is this weekend.

I'm baaaack!

I picked up a little lawnmower blenny, a crocea clam, two peppermint shrimp, two cleaner shrimp, a royal urchin and a longspine urchin!

They are acclimating now. Finally, I can join the urchin club that everyone else seems to be a part of :)

Biff, you and my wife would deff not agree on tank budgets.

Biff, you and my wife would deff not agree on tank budgets.

Luckily, your wife and I don't have to! Besides, if we had to duke it out, I'm pretty sure I could take her down!! I may be skinny, but I am scrappy. ;)

 

[Bifferwine]

Here are the lucky little critters! I have decided to name the clam Barack Oclama and the blenny Jenny. And the last pic is of the shroom rock that Justin (Mng777777777777......) brought over yesterday. The shrooms still haven't opened up all the way.

Your tank is filling up quickly Biff...very nice additions you've got.

Great additions, Sarah! I love the royal urchin, it looks wonderful. I almost bought another urchin today (Was debating between a black/white shortspine and a halloween colored-urchin) but decided (Regretfully) that two were more than enough in my 75. Let me know how the longspine does, I really want one but I'm afraid he'll poke my fish & outgrow the tank.

That's a great looking clam, I want one!

Cool Urchins, love the colors on your clam too

 

[Sunshine]

Nice additions Biff. You'll love the Urchins. I had a longspine, he poke me a few times when I was cleaning the glass off, my fault. I would love to get another one. Welcome to the Urchin Club !!!!!

 

[Bifferwine]

Thanks! The longspine is very small -- his body is about the size of a grape. He should do well in my tank for quite a while.

He has wedged himself in a rock, and he is stuck in there. He hasn't moved since I added him to the tank. The other urchin has been slowly scooting along. Hopefully they'll be more active!

Jenny the Blenny has already taken over and is cleaning up the glass for me. Lawnmower blennies are one of the most awesome fish out there!

The peppermints dove into the rocks as soon as I released them and I haven't seen them since. Hopefully they'll come out after lights out. The two cleaners are doing their thing, hanging out around the same rock. So everyone seems to be doing okay.

Love the new additions Sarah! My algae blenny made short work the the algae on my back glass.

 

[dcantucson]

I love your urchins Biff. Especially the tuxedo. Mine really cleans the rocks well.
Your tank is gotta be looking very full now.

[RigoSharon]

[RigoSharon]

[U4BOYZ]

Love the long spine. My LFS said to avoid them. I wonder why? They're cool looking. Is the clam new? LOVE IT!!! :)

 

[Bifferwine]

Thanks! I got the clam the same day that I got the urchins.

I haven't heard anything bad about the long spines -- I know they get big, but other than size they shouldn't be bad... Their spines are venomous. Maybe that's what he was talking about?

supposedly the long spine urchins are clumsier than the shorter spines ones, and can knock over rocks/corals constantly. Of course you can't always judge from others experiences. I hope you have no problems with yours Biff

Everything looks great Sarah.
