zoot098's tank

[ZOOT098]

well today is my tanks 1 month birthday
i have pushed it a little due to some inpatience but all seems well
i have a patch of zoos that seem to be doing well
1 lawnmower blennie
1 sleeper banded goby
4 green chromis
1 sally lightfoot
6 top crown snails
4 red collar snails
and a bunch of red legged hermits

the tank has really cleared up and im hoping i dont have any algea blooms for awhile:bounce:

It is looking good, and it will fill up faster than you would think possible. They always have a way of seeming to be too small too quick.

Tank looks good. Love the blennie.

Looking great! That sally lightfoot gives me nightmares... Keep an eye on it, once it gets big enough it will turn predatorial and go after your fish. I lost red firefish and a sixline wrasse to my two sally lightfoots before I was able to catch them and get rid of them. They are hunters.

Your substrate and rock look very clean -- congrats!

[ZOOT098]

forgot this one

 

[ZOOT098]

thanks dustin

yes shes little, only about 1.5" long

im sure she will grow quick though

 

[dustin_P74]

oh yeah, they grow fast, i got mine at about 2 inches and its now at about 5 inches and i have only had him for three months

 

[ZOOT098]

dusatin do you mess around with feeding algea strips to her or not????

 

[dustin_P74]

not anymore, there is enough algae in the food they eat

 

[ZOOT098]

i feed a combo of emerald entree, mysis, and marine cuisine, with a dash of cyclopeze.......

i assume that should be a pretty rounded diet

 

[dustin_P74]

sounds good

Any updates?

 

[ZOOT098]

well mr ploch as amatter of fact there is an up date
i was going to tear down my 90gal because i like my 75 so much
but after selling everything to "bigploch" but the liverock i decided to go a different direction

i rearranged the rock
added about 3" of sand
and bought 2 dwarf fuzzy lionfish
i think i may go fowlr
and stick to carnivors
as well as a long spine urchin or two
not sure yet but basically fish and lifeforms that you cant have in a reef tank

suggestions are welcome
