Hello Everyone,
Well its been a bit busy around here of late. Lucy was born on April 7th...take a look:

I have a new...
Ahh...yeah, I see some that are close.
I like it to CarmieJo. Did you notice the Orange plate like stuff also growing out from underneath? :-)
Okay...over to this tank a minute. I've been playing mostly with the nanocube 28 and we haven't gotten any Dwarf Seahorses in this tank yet. What I do have in it is this:
...
Very nice....how did you post the pictures that way?...lol
Thank you Mike,
......but what is BCS? I'm drawing a mental blank at the moment. As far as the Dendro goes...the guy at Mr Coral said it was non-photosythetic, but all I had to do was use the...
Almost done
There is another Zoo frag on the left my daughter picked out for $2.00 on the right. It has two small polyps:...
Here we go!

Neon Green Star Polyps:...
Here are some pictures. I'll have to do a few at a time. I think I can only put up six at a time.
Here is our Royal Gramma Basslet. He is harder than the Sixline to get a picture of:...
Ahh...there you folks are. I was getting worried. It gets lonely on this forum ;-) Doesn't seem too active sometimes. Glad your here. Well thank you Mike and CarmieJo. I saw that Two Little Fishies...
Put the GFO reactor back in service today. Anyone out there?
I have a little update. I will post pictures when I get a chance. Let me just start by listing the critters in the tank:
Sixline Wrasse (had him since my first shipment from F&S. Lawnmower Blenny...
Hi Folks,
Thanks for the replies. Yeah Carmie... that's one thing I'd thought of doing. I already have a tub ready.
No thanks on the job swap Rock. I did my time in the plumbing shop. You can...
Everyone is fine. Thanks for asking...Hope all is well in Florida.
Well I'm back to work now, and I am not going to have as much time to stare at my Sixline Wrasse as I'd like and the corals...
Hi Mike,
I have to take out some of that rock, put in some hitching post and remove the crabs. Then I'll order her ponies and see how she does. How you doing?
Buddy
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!
I started using a Phosban reactor yesterday to get the phosphate down. The hair algae is driving me nuts. I hope it helps.
It is always a little crazy around here Rock!
CarmieJo,
No, thats not what I saw. I saw them here: http://shop.mediabaskets.com/Fuge-Lights_c8.htm
I may have to call them, because i'm sure thats...
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas...have a Happy new Year too.
May have been LEN CarmieJo, but I still don't see them anymore.
Jason,
One thing I forgot to say yesterday was that I have not found a need for a chiller with the CF Quad lighting. When my tank first got here from Foster & Smith I had a faulty hood and my...
It ain't happening!!! :-)
Anyway, I took the media box out and of course the water flows alot faster into the middle chamber. I mean it would have to. There is no restriction at all without...
Very cool Jason...yeah, I was so disappointed that I didn't get anything on the rock. Well I think I'm lying, I did have a couple of pineapple sponges. They come and go as I am told....gone now....
Averagejoe,
Your tank is coming along so well...you are off to a wonderful start. After seeing your pictures, I think I'm going to give it all up and get a goldfish bowl ;-( I got my rock...
CarmieJo said:
Well I've probably said it in here somewhere before, but my oldest is 21 and I'm 53....so I'm pretty sure there isn't going to be any boys around here.
Funny you should say...
Hi again Mike,
Lol...I meant my wife is 5 months...in the family way. This baby is due in April and its a girl. We're naming her Lucy. I know what I'm in for, we already have 5 daughters,...
Hi Sax,
Yes that is the book I have. I'm not sure if you can tell me what is outdated. It might take to much time. I will remove the crabs as soon as we're ready for the zots as you call them. The...
Hello All,
I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while. I see some new post in here from you folks that I didn't get email notifications about. Its been a little hectic around here and I'm still...
Sorry, but no pictures. Fedex got here at 3:30, but the creatures were dead. Goby is out of stock so they credited my card. They would have been fine if it wasn't for the shipment getting delayed...
Thanks Carmie,
Hope all is well. I have a Yellow Watchman Goby and a Tiger Snapping Shrimp on the way. FedEx should be here within the next couple of hours. I'll put up some pics later.
Gobby
I have the upgraded media basket from StevieT over at InTank. It fills up more of the center chamber then the stock one does. I have two pumps in the tank for flow (circulation....one is a Koralia,...
Hi All,
Here is a few pictures. 1st a couple of Six...hes cool.

Carmie,
Could you explain more about the biofilm? I think I might get what you mean, but I'm not sure. What do you use as far as filtration in your 24 besides the rock and sand?
Buddy
Yeah I know CarmieJo...I read that 1.019 was optimal for Dwarfs. I am going to bring it down gradually as to not shock whats in there. I'll let you know how it goes.
Buddy
Sorry....I am here still. Not healed yet. I moved my zoanthid frag to the top of the rock. Man has it made a difference. Really neat to witness the change. I had it on the bottom and the crab kept...
Thank you folks for your responses. I don't think I'm ready to put the horses in quite yet. I want the tank to age a little more. I'm going to yank out the crabs later and remove some rock to make...
You know...you are right. I just did a side by side comparison of some pics on goggle and the pic above is very puffy. Does anyone else know what that is?
Buddy
I just googled images of Lawnmower Blennies and didn't see anything on their mouths like I saw on mine. Something must have been up...I wish I had taken a picture.
Buddy
Good morning,
Some bad news today. I went downstairs to do my weekly water change and water tests and found the Blenny dead. He looked so healthy as far as I could tell until I found him. All...
Thank you.....yeah I liked it too. Thats the reason I put it on here even though its a little blurry.
Buddy
Well no, you are the only one who has chimed in as of late. We had a little violence in this tank yesterday and the night before. The big Thinline Crab in the picture above was being harassed by the...
Time is not a problem right now that I am off because of the surgery I had. I have at least five more weeks to play around with the tanks before I have to worry about managing my tank time...lol.
...
Okay guys...it looks like my new residents are adjusting well. Here are some pics of the new fish:
This is Benny the Lawnmower Blenny...
Okay...a little update. The digital thermometer on my 28 gallon Nanocube already died. It is gone boyesreef. Good thing I was backing up with the glass one. I'll pitch the one on this tank as well...
Hi,
Sounds like you had a great time. Next time leave the wife home...lol. I'm sure she'd rather go shopping then look at coral. I don't know what that was on the glass yet. Added to my CUC crew...
Well there are some awesome pictures on that site. No...I do not have pictures. I ran my mag-float across the glass. If they populate the glass again I'll try to get one.
Buddy
Ahh yes. Thats it exactly. Thank you.
Buddy
Hi....I'm back.
boyesreef...can I ask, does that skimmer you suggest fit into one of the back chambers of your Biocube? I'm not sure its going to fit in where the one I have now goes. My...
Okay....here is a picture of the tube looking trumpet thingy:
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii20/fewjr/JBJ%20Nanocube%2028%20gallon%20CF%20Quad/DSCF0001.jpg
So who can tell me what it is....
Yes...I ditched the seahare idea. I ordered more snails and crabs for now and a Lawnmower blenny. I also have a SixLine Wrasse coming. I have just noticed copepods all over my glass today. I was...
That would be nice I'm sure.......BUT, there is a baby on the way. I'm not seeing that happening this year..LOL
