Went out to run some errands and stopped in at the LFS. With a Calgary trip saturday I didnt think I would find anything that caught my eye.....
But this is always a good thing when you come home right? 2 more Banggai Cardinals, 2x Ricordia, and 2x .......... NEON GOBIES!!!!! I am so excited to find 2 more. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/63822a2d.jpg |
Well here they are, freshly introduced into the tank.
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0863.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0862.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0864.jpg This piece has about 5 heads http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0865.jpg |
So after a trip to calgary I picked up a new light fixture. I picked up a TEK 6 Bulb off Lorenz0 and plan on adding a pair of Reef Bright LED strips to it so I can pop colors.
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/5ed08598.jpg I also picked up some live goodies!! I found 2 Scarlet Reef Hermits at Big Al's which was pretty exciting as I have been looking for them for a while. I would like to add another 8 eventually but we will see how well behaved these 2 are. I also was able to pick up a sand sifting star to help the nassarius stir the sand. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/1f7eb8b2.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/2c373b67.jpg I also picked up a couple of the Walt Smith pieces from Red Coral. One is a Teal A. humilis and the other is a Pink with Blue tips Tabling Acro. I have this same species in yellow with blue tips but the small frag that survived when the colony RTN hasnt done much. Hopefully this frag grows fast. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/fa7c2840.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/fe0e0f32.jpg Last but not least and defiantly a great score is a Yasha Hase (sp?) goby from Pisces! Sorry guys no picture as he darted into the rocks as soon as he hit the water. I hope I actually get to see him once he sets up shop. They also had a Golden Angel I wanted but with the cloudy eyes I was very hesitant and left it there. Oh I wanted him so badly though! Didnt pick this up today but here is an acro I picked up last week. Doesnt look like the colony but we will see. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/90efc2bd.jpg Well thats my little update for the week. BTW sorry for the Iphone pictures. |
Forgot to mention My Bangaii Cardinals paired off I beleive and have sent 2 into the Corners of the tank. So I have 2 up for sale or trade if anyone is interested. They have different looking Jaw lines but I am not forsure if they are male and female.
Also my 2 little Neon Gobies paired up I think. They have staked claim under a rock and forced a Porcelain Crab out of his home. The other Neon Goby kinda makes the odd appearance in the tank during feeding. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/c15fbbaa.jpg I would like to see if I can raise the young if they lay eggs. I need to research this a little more, I know there is a member here that has bred them just cant remember who it was now. |

Finally got a good look at this guy tonight since I bought him.
First introduced into the tank http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0868.jpg I have noticed my Neon Gobies havent been using their little cave the last few days and finally found out why, they got EVICTED!! The Cave http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0920.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0926.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0936.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0930.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0928.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0932.jpg |
That looks a lot like a Yasha Goby.
|
Thats cause that what it is!
|
Nice! You gonna get a shrimp for it?
|
Nah I like my snails too much. I might try to get another one or 2 but no shrimp.
|
Wow ... love all your fish collection and very nice tank build.
|
Thank you!!
Still a few more additions to go but I cant wait to see this grow in. Currently waiting for Vertex to release their Libra dosing Pump and perhaps a Cerebra for as controller.... its tax season returns season people!! Also on the lookout for a pair of Rhomboid Wrasses if anyone sees any in Canada. |
Ryan, you really have a good taste for choosing your fish, it's a very unique group.
|
Thank you once again.
I really like this group as well. I try to find stuff not a lot of people have in their tanks. It takes so much longer to find stock and the price is alot more but its worth it IMO. |
Sump ATO
Dood, that plexi-glass thing you have clamped onto the side of your sump for your ATO.....where did you get that? I see it is adjustable so you can lower or raise your float valve. That is EXACTLY what I'm looking for.
|
Its just the eshopps gravity ato i picked it up off a friend who got it at ocean city
|
Well I was checking out my aquarium tonight as I fed as usual and found this. Excuse the piece of styrofoam its in there until the epoxy cures.
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0947.jpg I have noticed these guys flaring and twitching but I thought they were just being aggressive to each other after I removed the other 2 cardinals. I guess not!! So now its all research tonight in preparation for the new babies. I was planning on redoing the sump for a longer more narrow frag section (so I can use T5) but I had no idea I would need to be thinking of baby cardinals. |
that's awesome!
|
might be easier to set up just one more tank..hehehe
|
After a trip to Calgary today I was able to cross a coral off my "Aquarium Bucket List".
Tyree Purple Monster!!!! http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0963.jpg I was also able to bring this guy home. I hope he takes care of my algea problem for me as well. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_0965.jpg |

That picture is just about a year old and if you read te thread youd see the tank has been moved since then. Not to mention the drip loops were all on the power cords for the pumps, skimmer, heater, etc.
|
Where did you find the purple monster if you don't mind me asking?
|
I found it from fellow canreef member. I also talked to Oceanic Corals and he said he could get me one as well but went with the local guy because I wouldnt have to ship and ive dealt with him before.
If your looking give Paul a call hes happy to help you out. Now just the long painful wait for this thing to start growing. |
:twised:Nice find!!
|
I cut you just the tip and we do twade okay rarry?
|
Well I got my first batch tonight. There is a few out and the male is still holding. So far one is kinked and one never is DOA with a full egg sack showing.
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_1036.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_1033.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...d/IMG_1031.jpg |
I harvested my first batch of BBS today and fed the hungry horde.
Here is a quick video I shot for everyone after I fed. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...h_MVI_1047.jpg |
