looks great man keep it up

looking good have you thought of placing a backround on the tank? just got mine today and it really made it look better. keep us posted:wink:

yeah i think i am just going to get one of those nice cheap ones at a petstore, just a nice black one
or i was hopeing to keep it non clean and let the algea go on it

anyone know what the snail is btw

i just went to aqua giant last week lol. It's a nice place for freshwater. Thats where i got my albino pleco.

tha snail is a narcissus snail

so i went out today to figure out what i can do with my sump and just nosed around fishstores and just looked around, and then i got excited and bought fish lol, oopsie! i told myself i was going to take it slow and i couldnt handle myself, so i just bought 2 chromis to help with the tank, and they are doing great i tested my water and no nitrates or anything, well alittle bit, but i am sure it's fine :) will add pictures later

so i hope everyone can help me
i have a fishlist of fish that i would like, i read up on them and have for awhile what do you think

Fish i would like



2 more Chromis
Jawfish, Yellowhead
yellow tang
blue tang
Firefish
2 Ocellaris Clownfish
Bicolor Blenny
assorted hermit crabs
Cleaner Shrimp
Blood Red Fire Shrimp
Peppermint Shrimp
assorted snails

bristle worms are a good part of your clean up crew.. Your fish list looks good other than 2 tangs won't work in that tank for very long unless bought very small.

yeah i opted out on tangs for a tank, becuase i feel bad for them

so my tank update!
I been thru the horrable brown algea which is now gone and has moved into the lovely hair algea, i bought some turbos and a couple of blue legged hermits to clean that up, and they are doing wonderful doing it, still just have the Chromis in the tank, i have 4 which are always a blast to watch
other then that, i fixed my sump with a mini refugium, with some algea types and a 24hour light, other then that, just doing the nice slow waiting game :)

Yellow Headed Jawfish are the coolest fish but also one of the most frustrating fish I have ever had. They will find any way possible to get out of a tank. I have had three and all of them have lasted about 3 months and then all of a sudden they decide to be jumpers and I have found them all dead on the floor. It is truely sad because they are such a gorgeous fish with a lot of personality.

ok sorry for the lack of updates, been busy in the house!
other then my bubble coral pretty much on the brink of dieing, everything is going wonderful, wait i lied! i have algea from HELL, i have lawnmore blenny and hes not doing the job, i have cut down my lighting to like nothing, and i am still getting algea, i have every type in the book of algea i swear! lol
it will all work out

Matt
pictures coming soon!

In regards to your cleaner shrimp on your list, you may want to look at going with a pair of either skunk cleaner shrimp or blood shrimp. One of each don't do well together unless they are in a larger system. By having a pair they may join up and spawn, their eggs make great food for your system.

I have had my pearly jawfish for 7 monthes now hes was in the first 3 fish i added. he has never jumped with the exception of when i had an insane nitrite spike. do you have a sand bed? if not it is highly recommeded.

yeah i think i may go with just the normal cleaner shrimp. becuase i like them better
i havent desided in a fish/invert to move around my sandbed and yes i do have one. i just got a firefish that dispeared on me, only had him for 2 days, i forgot they where jumpers, but i havent found him on the floor or anything (weird) lol other then that, i am just battling my stupid algea fight grrs!
