ok, so i got home from work today and the rgb was actually out. I looked at him and his eye looked normal but his head looked a little beat up. I watched him for a little while and he seemed a little skiddish, but ok. then the six line swam up to him and he ran and hid, the six line wrasse...

yellow tang, blue hippo, blonde naso, 3 pj cardinals, six line wrasse, 2 o. clowns, and a firefish. plus 2 cleaner shrimp, cleanup crew, & corals.

I noticed that I haven't seen my royal gramma basslet in the last few days. When I fed the fish today i made sure to look for him. He came out of hiding and immediatly started swimming around and eating. But when he turned the other way I noticed something was wrong with his eye. It looked like...

I want to get a good jump start on my pod population. i recently set up my 220 mixed reef with 250-300lbs lr and 160lbs live sand (i also have some chaeto and lr in my sump). i want to get a good start on my pod population because i want to add a mandarin in a few months. i was going to place...

rearranged the rock. it needed to be done for better flow and for more places to put corals. i also made a bunch of ledges for fish to swim under. i still need to relocate a few pieces but it's 90% done.

As some of you know i set up my 220 about a week ago. from my 125 came a 4.5-5" yellow tang, 3-3.5in blue hippo, some pjs, royal gramma, firefish, and a few other small guys. i was rearranging the rockwork the other day and realized i've always wanted a blonde naso so if i were to add one now...

Thanks. it's been a lot of work. i spent some time rearranging the rocks last night so i'll get some new pics up soon. it took me about 2 weeks to get everything done, plumbing, stand, but i work ALOT so it was only an hour or two a night. the actual transfer took one full day. i read...

the big day! the transfer! oh btw, i decided to paint the room too. the tank is now up and running. yay! :BIG: now i'm going to rearrange all the rock, finish painting the room, hook up the denitrator, phosban reactors, and hide all the ballasts/wires.

Hey, I haven't posted in a while because I've been very busy with my 220 build. it's been consuming my life. lol. anyway, here's an update on the build. started with the purchase. i bought everything from a local reefer who was taking down his tank. some quick specs: Oceanic 220 glass tank...

On sunday I plan to do the big switch. Moving everything from the 125 to the new 220. I have some coral and livestock so I'm trying to make the transition as smooth as possible and I'm trying to avoid any major cycles. I have a plan for pretty much everything but I am unsure of what to do with...

I plan on slowly turning it into a community reef tank. I currently have a blue hippo tang, yellow tang, cleaner shrimp, 3 pj cardinals, firefish, royal gramma basslet, six line wrasse, 2 large rocks of green stary polyps and 2 rocks covered in ricordeas. I plan to add more corals and fish...

first, i wasn't 100% sure which forum to put this in so mods please feel free to move it if it needs to be moved. I just bought a 220 from a friend of mine. he has had it for two years and has about 100-150lbs live rock & 200lbs live sand. I'm going to pick everything up on sunday. but the...

Here's a quick video I made last night of what the tank looks like now. i've been in the hobby for a few weeks now and I think i'm officially addicted. current residents Yellow Tang, Blue Hippo Tang, Firefish, Six Line Wrasse, 2 Clowns, Royal Gramma Basslet, 3 Spotted Cardinals, Fire Shrimp...

I'm trying to help out a friend of mine who lost his job by buying some live rock from him (out of his 220g reef tank). I bought a couple pieces and I was going to buy some more but last night i saw a little bit of bubble algae on one, so i scraped it off and put it in my tank. I was going to...

thanks guys. the tank looks so different now, i've done quite a bit to it the last couple weeks. I'll put some new pictures up soon. or maybe a little video.
