They are looking a little pouty, but I'm sure they'll come around; sometimes it takes a while. Then you can sit back and watch them grow. :biggrin:

So I had an order for 33 fish... but I only got 12... I was supposed to get 10 hermits but only got 5. Now my tank has too much yellow/orange/red compared to blue/purple/black/green Of the fish that were supposed to come I have 1 black and a school of 15 blue... oh well here is what I got. (so far I haven't had any fish DOA and no acclimation problems)

The hermits (got 5 of 10)

Beautiful looking fish. Wow are you ever populating the tank at epic pace...

Ya imagine if I had gotten all 33 of my fish.

Wow, what an interesting thread! Glad I found it. :cool: :pop2: :pop2: :pop2: Hi neighbor. :wave:

Hello... If you ever want to take a look at the tank in person let me know :)

I was thinking the same thing........

you got some cajones my friend......30+ fish in a month in a tank that has no "real" live rock?.......hope things do well for you......

Thanks Greenmaster--one of these days!

I have a question....don't you need at least a little live rock to seed the rest of your rock? I mean otherwise it will never come alive, no? And how much how often are you changing water......because you said you're not running filters or skimmers, right?

So far so good...

I added bottled bacteria... also the bacteria is everywhere it just takes a long time to reproduce so if you don't add it to the tank, either with LR or with an additive, it takes months to get going.
And about the filters/skimmers right I only have biological... if you look at the title of the post... 320g build/journey/experiment DIY :-)... I built it... definitely been a journey... lots of DIY... the experiment thing is what I am working on... I have yet to do a water change.

No offense but I have a bad feeling for your fish, I can't imagine running that large of a system without filtration or doing a water change with that many fish in a new system :neutral:
