Looks like you need about double the rock!

Yeah I didn't want to take the two big pieces out of the tank I had put them in. They ended up looking too good in there! Going to be picking up some more rock this week. There is only a six line wrasse and a green banded goby in there with a few sexy shrimp so I figured they would be ok for a couple days. And I brought the hob from the 10 over, it has some live rubble in it as does the sump.

Oh I forgot about the royal gramma he is in there too

Ok so I got the rest of the rocks in the tank this weekend. Picked up some more zoas too!

Thank you. Yeah wish I had a camera other than iPhone so I could get some more accurate photos of the colors. Ill take some this evening with just the whites on and see how they come out

Finally got the mushroom my girlfriend has been wanting since the beginning of the year. It was at my lfs on a large rock that the owner wouldn't sell(big part of his dt) without buying the whole store. Went in the other day and it was sitting on the sand.

That is a really nice mushroom.

That is a really nice mushroom.

Thanks my gf was threatening the owner of the lfs that she was going to bring a hammer and chisel to break the rock so she could have it. Haven't seen another like it anywhere.

I am in the process of converting an aquaclear 50 to make a hob refugium for this tank so I can build up a better pod population for the six line wrasse.

 

[mr_X]

A 6 line doesn't need a pod population. It will eat prepared foods.

 

[Raleighfishnerd]

Oh I know but it really loves em and my girlfriend wants a spotted mandarin and/or a red scooter blenny in there.

 

[mr_X]

I wouldn't put both in a 40b. Get rid of the 6 line and then wait 6 months for the mandarin. At least.

 

[Raleighfishnerd]

Yeah the six line is her favorite fish so it's not going anywhere unless it gets aggressive and starts messing with others too much

Just told her this and she responds with "I guess we need a bigger tank then".

 

[mr_X]

LOL....yeap...that is one solution.

 

[Cichlid-dude]

Wish my wife would tell me i need a bigger tank lol!

 

[Ericwm]

Wish my wife would tell me i need a bigger tank lol!

Me too, I am building a 90 gallon and her response when she first saw it was "why the **** do we need a tank that big?" All I could say is I don't need it, it is more of a want.
