25 gallon reef

so i got some new livestock. gotta love boxing day. i was really tempted to get a gigantic torch colony too, but it would have taken up a third of my tank.

FTS

[karazy]

well i finally got all my frags off the sand so i thought i'd post a FTS in celebration.
it does look quite bare now though, but i do have something coming that should cover up a good chunk of the right island.
oh, and for those who noticed the new addition, Cirrhilabrus lubbocki

FTS:

Where did you get your percs from? They're really nice!!!

[Leah]

Looks great! What is the pink and orange fish, Karazy?

[karazy]

i got the percs at wais. he always has some cool clowns

as for the new addition, its a lubboks fairy wrasse, but im thinking about switching him out with a flame wrasse

[JDigital]

Just a word of advise, but both the Lubbocks and Flame Wrasse typically require larger tanks... Flames are recommended to be in 75-90G or larger, and the Lubbocks is generally 50G or larger.

Tank looks good though bud.

Hey dude, tank is looking good man, look forward to seeing more corals and a light upgrade *wink wink nudge nudge*

[karazy]

hey guys and gals,

so heres some updates on the tank.
some stocking changes have happened. first of the jawfish got switched out with a tailspot blenny. he kept spooking the other fish at night.
also i have ich in the tank, but only on one fish. the neon goby is covered but everyone else is fine. it's been like that for a few weeks and i haven't been able to catch him for treatment.
the weiredest and most displeasing stocking change is my lubboks fairy wrasse died. it was one of those deaths where i dont think ill ever be able to find out what happened. all the params were fine and the other fish were happy as ever (as they still are) but one day he started swimming kinda weird and limp like, and by the next day he could barley swim and was super stressed out. death followed quickly.
i also got some new sps from a local frag swap that are doing quite well.
but the biggest update by far is....

IM UPGRADING THIS TANK TO A BIGGER SIZE!
watch for the build thread.
