Thanks guys. Beengirl I've been spying on your tank and it looks lovely

I'm assuming you mean my reef tank cuz the FOWLR isn't that lovely. Lol. Awwww....thank you!!

 

[Dude1982]

Oh right yeah I havnt seen your fowlr tank. Your little reef tank looks great ill be following your thread

 

[Dude1982]

In the past year my gbta split into 2 and the clone split again so I now have 4

 

[Wendy8184]

Your tank looks fantastic!! Great thread

 

[williamsaj1210]

So pretty! It looks amazing.

 

[Dude1982]

Thanks Wendy and William I've certainly had my problems over the years but soldiered through them lol. I'm currently trying to get undetectable nutrients using the salifert tests then start to stock some sps and Lps making a mixed reef setup . I really need to keep the Xenia in check, it's taking over and im starting to wish I never introduced it into my tank, the large colony looks ok but I have bits sprouting up everywhere !

 

[Dude1982]

Wow it's hard to believe that these are the same tanks lol.

My wife came home with a six line wrasse yesterday trying to get a pic but its so hard getting good pics of wrasses as they are so fast !

Saw your thread and saw £'s and thought omg someone from the UK.. Your tank is amazing looking and has came along way. You must be very happy with it. Do you live near petsathome in your area? I work for the coleraine store NI . I'm setting up a nano 55L at the min and the addiction has began

 

[Dude1982]

Hiya benn thanks for the kind words . It has taken me a long time to get it where it is now. I have a pets at home down the road from me in cleethorpes but doesn't stock marine and the fish section isn't very well looked after
The marine bug is hugely addictive if you get bitten by it lol.
I wish you luck with your nano and I'll check out your tank thread if you have 1 mate !

 

[Dude1982]

For the last 30 mins or so I've been trying to get a pic of the wrasse but its just too speedy.

 

[Benn2410]

Thanx mate.

Well my store fish area os very strong and sell well but unfortunately we don't sell marine either :-(
Your tank is class! Once I get the hang of marine I know I'll have a tank like yours. Lol. Got a new stand and done a new scape tonight. Won't be long till I'm ready for fish "PATIENCE" ..
it's hard and I advise customers every day too. If I need any help along my way I will give you a shout
Thanks again

 

[Dude1982]

Wow it's looking very nice mate. I like your scape too, plenty of hole and crevices for fish to swim in and out. What kind of lighting have you got it looks cool

 

[Dude1982]

Well it's impossible getting a pic of my new fish in a 5ft tank lol so I pinched 1 from the tinterweb haha !

 

[Benn2410]

Lovely wee fish there.. I would love so many but I'm only able to keep 2 clowns at the very most :-(.
But I'm only a marine beginner so it's enough lol. Yea the scape isn't too bad. How long roughly will it take for my rocks to take a bit of color? I've been changing the scape so much as last week my woman is crackin up lol

 

[chris1610]

Hey Dude1982 is your foxface a very active one or does it just kind of patrol it's territory? Because mine only inhabits a small area of my 75gal just wondering if it's just my foxface or if it's typical behavior. Thanks mate.

 

[Dude1982]

Hi chris mine is quite large now maybe 5 or 6 inch and swims the hole length of my tank, it's one of the most active fish in there and constantly pecking at algae on the rock. They are a lively and lovely fish
