Not a problem at all!

I am excited for the 90 too. Next up is rocks & sand!! Who has some for free?!!? lol

I now have my rocks & sand for the 90! Will start filling it with water on Sunday, not entirely looking forward to that task... haha

Here are some more pics of my current tank along with a few new corals that I purchased from Gold's!! They just got a sweet shipment in, wish I had room for more right now!!

My favorite SPS - a frag from Argentiner. Picture doesn't do it justice! Has nice long polyps with bright white / green ends.

Neon green candycane, ricordea, & green mushroom

Maroon hiding in his favourite spot! So cute in there

Some nice growth on my birdsnests, left from Fishytime, right from Argentiner.

Not a good spot for the blenny... jeez, I gotta get a cover for that! He doesn't go in while its running, thankfully! This is also the only fish who bites me

Corner of the tank. New coral is top right!

New blasto from Gold's

FTS of my menagerie

The 90 is now 1/3 full of water! yay! But its going to be a nasty cycle though, the sand and rock are not so live... oh well

Trina,

What type of cucumber is that? Never seen anything like it before around here.

Equipment list ?

Also how long did you have your tank up before adding the Green Mandrin?

trinac · #29 06-23-2010, 01:04 AM

Hi Leah, the cucumber is a pink hawaiian knobby I think? Fishytime or Kevin might have a better idea, I bought it from Red Coral. It found a nice spot on the front glass that it likes and filterfeeds. I spot feed it pretty much everyday with zooplankton, and when its lucky it catches mysis pieces.

Thanks Rick!

Equipment list:
Remora protein skimmer
XP1 filtration system (I clean it once / week)
4 x T5 lighting system
Koralia 1
Koralia evo 750
Ebo Jager 100 heater

I think thats about it...

And I added the dragonet a few months after the tank was set up. Probably a little early but it also eats mysis as well as the copepods.

Thanks Trina,

I am in love with your cucumber, Lol

Do you plan on moving everything into the 90 when it has cycled? And if not what are your plans for the new tank?
