Terry's home made nano. NANO contest 2010. my unique tank.

[the marine apprentice]

We are actually in the process of upgrading the tank for the dragons right now. Got some cool sticks and branches for them to chill out on. And the tank is a 42g breeder tank with a big ding in the corner. That's why it's for the dragons and not for my salt water use haha

[the marine apprentice]

so there really is nothing to update on other then i got a new fish and a gbta
the fish is a cool lil guy he is a red scooter blenny about an inch long. got him from blue world aquatics in edmonton, thanks ken and tks greg for pickin him up for me. right now josh is on his way back from calgary from buying all of lobsterboys colonies he had forsale and i am sure ill be getting a few cool little frags from him when he gets back so ill have some more pics up in a few days. and they will be way better quality pics as well. lately i ave been using my iphone and it just does not compare to my panasonic
cheers all

Boy oh boy Terry the more frags you put in there the less room there is going to be for that BIG CLAM I know where there is a nice big tank with a few other clams that would take in a fellow brother

ahaha awesome nattter between you two boys over that clam! Hope you like that birdnest there terry and in a week or so ill frag some of that purple milli for you but i want a nice sized frag of some of your pallies!

So here is a pic of the scooter blenny I got over a week ago from blue world aquatics. He is doin great. Eating alot of random things he can find and has a super cool personality.


and Greg. Some day just maybe my big clam will be in with it's brothers but not right now. But I do sense that there will be a serious need of an upgrade once this nano contest is done. Most likely sooner

At least they are not arguing on which one of them gets "crabs" from each others tank.

awesome looking scooter very nice coloration ijust have a brown one it kinda blends in...

[the marine apprentice]

Tks locrookie. Those lil guys are pretty cool. But I need a little fish that eats algea off my rocks. Any ideas

[lockrookie]

im new to this refer thing .. before my start on the tank i thought a reefer was a cigarette that put you in jail.

so i copied this from a site

Algae-eating tropical marine fish to consider:

Algae-Eating Blennies
The appropriately named lawnmower blenny is the star, but there are others.

Tangs
Of course there is the Yellow Tang, which is heartily recommended, but there are others worth considering.

Rabbitfishes
In many aquarists’ experience, rabbitfishes are better grazers than tangs, but they may not be reef compatible.

Angelfish
Dwarf angelfish are tremendous grazers and amongst the most beautiful algae-eating tropical marine fish suitable for the aquarium.

I will keep looking for a little lawnmower benny for you Terry, Next time I go to the cities, I think that would be your best option.

Can't blame a guy for trying to get that monster clam, if I found a really nice torch for your tank maybe then we could work out a deal.

I got a tail spot blenny the other day, he is nice and cute and little, have seen him rooting around the sand lots and picking at the rock and glass, but if the amount of green fish poo in the tank is any indicator he is doing some hard work.
