Greenturtle's Biocube 29 Build Thread!!!

New Additions! They're pretty small, especially the YWG.

Awesome, great choices!

 

[TLTGF]

Love both of them! Even if they are small, just means more lifetime with you!

 

[Greenturtle]

Thanks guys! They both have their territory staked out already AND are eating mysis!

 

[redsea]

Cool, glad everything is going well!

My yellow watchman goby is sifting sand. Odd...

Mine did as well... Before he took a Swan five into my dining room table 6 months ago

Do you guys recommend Saltwaterfish.com or reefs2go.com ? I can't decide. They have about the same prices. I am going to order my chalk bass sometime next week

 

[TLTGF]

Saltwaterfish at this point has a better reputation.

 

[redsea]

Yeah, I haven't heard great things about reefs2go either.

 

[carey]

Reefs2go had decent inverts but the corals I was very very dis satisfied with. Even after i got replacements they still were bad. I will say the packing and customer service are really great, just not the place for coral frags. lol

I'm hoping to make a salterfish order at the end of the month, depending on whats on sale so I'll see how they turn out. so far the best by a long shot is liveaquaria.com. Their shipping is a bit high but so far every fish but one has made it with the recent exception of a lemonpeel angel. and they were quick to charge my credit card back too, so excellent customer service there as well.

 

[Greenturtle]

I just read some stories online about reefs2go, and there are too many bad reviews about them for my liking.


Also, I love LA. But I have some personal reasons not to order from them...

1. They almost never have chalk bass
2. They are expensive
3. Saltwaterfish has free shipping for the amount of stuff that I ordered
4. LA doesn't have orange OR rainbow ricordeas
5. LA doesn't have any of the LPS I want in stock
6. LA doesn't have any Cerith OR Nerite snails in stock
7. They would charge me extra shipping because I want to buy stuff from both their Cali and Michigan stores

I have nothing against LiveAquaria except for those things. I LOVE them, and I have made 3+ orders with them. They have great customer service, too. Maybe sometimes in the future if they have some good deals on B&W clownfish

Just bought a TON of stuff from saltwater fish. The list...

For the 29 Gallon:

1 Chalk Bass
1 Rainbow Ricordea
1 White Pom Pom Xenia
1 Green Center Button Polyps (they look teal in the picture)
Chaeto
and a CUC!


For the 90 Gallon:

1 Sixline Wrasse
1 Frogspawn
2 Orange Ricordeas
and a large CUC upgrade


Feels good having the 90 gallon finally fully stocked

Soooo awesome! How exciting! Don't forget to post pictures when they arrive!

 

[Greenturtle]

Can I use this on a coral frag? Will it hurt my tank? I can't find my coral glue and this is sort of an emergency :/

 

[carey]

I've used regular ole crazy glue on ocassion, it should be fine.

Livestock pics

My chalk bass looks so much more amazing than the pictures online, but he is hiding under the button polyps (that glow in the dark)

The Xenia and Ricordea are small but look awesome

 

[Jlsardina]

Awesome additions!
