My two 230g tanks and 80g add on

[fishoholic]

Thanks to the encouragement from others and with the help of my boyfriend Doug (aka fishytime) I have decided to keep both tanks. They are now both nicely aquascaped (thanks to Doug) and the fish that survived are all back in the tanks.

Fish in the 230g FOWLR are as follows:

King/passer angel
bursa trigger
blueline trigger
blue spotted toby puffer
cleaner wrasse
niger trigger

Only other fish I might add:

target/spotted mandarin
flame hawkfish
checkerboard or dusky wrasse

Fish in the 230g Reef:

One spot yellow foxface
Female? (large) maroon clownfish
red corris wrasse (never was able to catch him out of the reef )
sixline wrasse

Fish I want to add

regular/striped mandarin goby
red scooter blenny
starry blenny
blonde naso tang
clown tang
purple tang
flame angel
emperor angel
cleaner wrasse

also might try to add a small male? maroon clown in the hopes they pair up and I am going to get an anemone for the clownfish.

Thanks to working a few hours at Red coral in Edmonton and babysitting my friends kids (to make extra money) and Doug bringing me stuff for my tanks, I am able to keep both tanks up and running and set up the way I like them.

As for the teaser part, I have some pic.'s but they're at home so I'll have to wait until later to post them

Your tanks are looking good Laurie! The new aquascaping looks great. Although I liked the reef 'scape better before, the fowlr is much improved! Hehe. Damn me, huh?

Oh I've said it before but I love love love the stand under the reef! Oh, and all the triggers...they are uber cool, but the Angels are sweet @$$ uber noice!

Thanks but I'm confused, the reef tank was never really aquascaped properly before, the rock was just randomly placed where ever my ex could drop it/fit it. There were a lot more corals that helped make it look ok but the rock was plopped in without much thought given to it. I always hated how the rock looked like it was just dumped in, now there are cool arches and caves and many hiddey holes for the fish to swim in and around, personally I like it a lot better.

The only angel I have now is my King angel, the others either died in the tank crash or in the weeks after when my friend was looking after them. I also only have 3 triggers now, my bursa, my blue line and my new niger.

One spot foxface and his buddy maroon clownfish both of them were in the 230g fowlr tank but because they always got picked on I moved them to the 230g reef. Unfortunately I think the split in the top back fin of the maroon clown is now permanent. Also the maroon is a lot smaller then the foxface but the way the pic. was taken they look almost the same size.



red corris wrasse



Also have a 6-line wrasse and a red scooter blenny but so far they are faster then my camera skills

So people what does this rock remind you of
