You're tank is beautiful Hannah, you've done a great job. :)

 

[motorcyclereefer]

Very nice! And yes you have to be careful with that Purple up stuff. In other words, Don't use it!!!!!

Man thats a ton of frags, can't wait to see the tank once they start to grow out.

 

[little_fish]

Thanks, but I worry about where they will all go when they get bigger!

My absolutely fantastic boyfriend took great care of tank while I was gone and everything is looking great, but I think I lost a chromis. So now I am down to two and I worry that will be end of the peace between the chromis, so Im going to have to figure out what to do about them. hmmmm....

 

[NanoReefer]

So you're saying not only is he a master parallel parker, he is also a master tank sitter? :mrgreen:

 

[little_fish]

He is indeed! Especially because the last chromis was out and looking great when I came home :) yay!

Dang LF your tank looks like a coral party gone wild! Awesome!! Cant wait to see them all mature!

 

[little_fish]

I will post some pics and a video tomorrow then!! They are such sweeties. I am planning to order a couple more soon. I think they were flirting all last week but I dont think they did the do. I think the male was interested and the female had a headache cause she just ran from him the whole time LOL

I am glad cause I really dont want babies. I asked them for 2 females and they still sent a pair. :grumble:

 

[little_fish]

hahaha, that is funny. Although I still think they were a really bad first fish choice, I really love them and I cant wait to set up another seahorse tank. I am so glad to hear yours are doing well! They really are some of the most amazing creatures to me :D

Why do you think they were a bad fish choice? Its funny because everyone was going on and on about how delicate and slow they are and that they need their own tank all by themselves and I havent found that to be true at all! I turn off my power heads when I feed just drop the mysis in the water and they go flying around eating them just like the other fish no issues.

I tried the tube and feeding station, it would get so disgusting and slimy so I said forget that. I have to admit I love the horses but my pipefish are the bomb. I will be ordering another pair of those I wish they had different colors!

 

[little_fish]

Just because I think they require a little bit more time than the average reef fish, i had a hard time being home often enough to feed them properly, I also was trying to get the hang of keeping good water quality and all of that stuff. However I think my biggest problem was that I had them in a tank that was too big and they were lonely but I didnt have enough money to buy more. It was a whole to process.

Ok, tiny update!

Just a few photos I snapped up tonight while working on the science fair tank. You can see the GSP is finally coming back now that I have my alk all sorted out. But the polyps still dont extend much, which sucks, but that might just be how it is now.

I also added another fish, after promising myself I wouldnt. But this tank breed beauty is one that I have been looking for some time now.

Also exciting news is that I scored a mini internship with one of the top reefing/service company in Denver. He does 45 day QT for all his fish and knows how to use all the different medications, dosing, treatment etc. I am really really really really excited to learn from him.

His name is Bazinga!

Just finished readingyour whole thread - Wow! Great story from the sea horse days through the clowns and the six line wrasses.
I love this one above. Great photo and gorgeous little blennie.

Your tank looks better and better everytime I see it.
