RyanGSP's 80G Build

Ryan · #1 12-31-2011, 01:40 AM

I guess its time for an update! I recently moved into a new place and thought I was going to have to downsize. Recently we found a place for the big tank and I got down to getting it reassembled before the mrs. changes her mind.

Things have been sitting in a holding tank without a light (infront of a window) and no skimmer so most of the SPS has lost color. You guys wont be seeing pictures of those though!

Also added a bunch of new fish, funny how when you have an empty big tank you cant find any fish that appeal to you but the second you have limited space you start finding fish everywhere. So far the stocking list 2 clowns, Blue Assessor, one Neon Goby, one McCoskers Wrasse, and the new guys are a couple Bangaii Cardinals.

Okay its a crappy picture but this is one of my better finds. Giant Cinnamon Palys at a store that rarley has anything hard to find.

That's great news Ryan. I'm happy for you that you are able to keep the tank.
I'm just going to start my build thread (finally).
Happy New Year

Hey Ryan is that an engineer goby? If so, did you only put only one in? Just curious. They are pretty cool fish but I have read a few things saying they are better in pairs or groups. Is your's tunneling/building stuff solo?

Thats a Blue Neon Goby.

The last thing I want is an 18" engineer goby mining under my rock work..... or a school of them!

Oops. I thought the maximum size for the engineer goby was listed as 1". After reading your post I checked again and it was actually listed as 1'. I guess I won't be getting an engineer goby.

Ive seen them come in at 2". If they stayed this size they would be a great fish to have in the tank. But at adult size Engineer gobies can topple rocks that arent placed right on the bottom.

Finally starting to see some color coming back to my sps. I have lost the Coral Master Super Grape Mille this week. Luckly I know where there is another if I decide to replace it.
