amberc12 04-30-2017 12:55 AM

Lol, so hubby keeps sneaking fish in there when I'm not home!! He's transferred some of the little guys from the 20g we are shutting down lol. And then while I was out on Thursday he snuck this in....

amberc12 05-03-2017 03:58 PM

DKoKoMan 05-03-2017 04:22 PM

That is an awesome gift, vibrant colours, almost led like.
You're off to a great start. People always say wow when they see my tank, I only put the brightest colours in. Fish are a plus too...
The Achilles will be a great first tang addition!

Sweet coral picks!! I noticed that rock was missing yesterday. It was pretty cool to watch those little baby Euphyllia grow up from a spawning event! I thought you weren't buying the Achilles?! I've known that Achilles for a few years, I think you should probably name him "Debi". :lol: ;)

DKoKoMan 05-10-2017 04:38 PM

The joys of having the room and 300 gallons. I love the tangs! #jealous. :biggrin:

tang daddy 05-11-2017 04:36 AM

Is that new coral on the sand a button scolly or acan maxima?

Acanthophyllia commonly called Donut Coral or Meat Coral.

amberc12 05-11-2017 05:18 PM

Hi all! Long time no post lol. Well many things to report I guess. I finally got my GHL doser and made it my bitch:surprise: I transferred a few pieces from the 90g and have acquired a few new gems.

Supposed to be coral safe, they really like to pick at algae so if your coral is covered in it he's probably not gonna be very gentle. Someone else told me that they might go after acropora, so I guess I'll find out lol. So far they are model citizens! Fingers crossed because I love em!!

Yes he is awesome!! Surprisingly the blonde naso is boss tho.

So.....Pairing up those Quoys Parrotfish may not have been the best idea, Fri night one started harassing the other. Kept the lights out and Sun I decided enough was enough and time for a rescue, well the poor fish was so beat up he basically flopped into the net, anyways he did not survive the night in the fuge
:sad: Ill have to get some more pics posted have added some new goodies. Soon!!

Nice setup ! I once had a Quoyi in my Mixed Reef and it never touched any of my corals, ever. I think I had it for two years before I decided to lighten my bioload and found him a new home. Seeing yours makes me want to add a quoyi to my tank again. I miss it! It spend all day long chowing down on whatever it could find on the rocks and scraping algae off the glass and ate pellets and flakes too.
