Melev's new 280g Starfire tank thread - Page 11

Kigs · 09/16/2006, 01:11 PM

Marc, how's your pico tank doing btw? I remember liking your 2g pico ALOT but haven't seen any updates on it for awhile. Is it still up and running?

melev · 09/16/2006, 02:32 PM

No, I took it down months ago. Casper died some time back, and the Kuda ended up with the same infection because he died a few months later with the exact same symptoms. I moved some of the stuff into the Clown Cube, but that water doesn't get as much attention as it should and the tank is pretty much FOWLR. The clowns are pretty hardy.

Would sand sifting gobies be compatable with a yellow watchman?

NuclearReefs · 09/16/2006, 05:37 PM

yep,, they wouldnt bother each other ..

Lordhelmet · 09/16/2006, 05:55 PM

hey Marc, did have you put that green star polyp eating Nudi in your main tank? I don't think i heard anything more about it.

melev · 09/17/2006, 01:43 AM

I had it in the Pico tank with some star polyps, and it literally vanished. As if it dissolved overnight. Wierd.

Thanks! I'll keep them in mind. I saw a pair of them at the LFS before I went on a business trip a few weeks ago. They looked like neat fish.

my yellow cuke appeared to be disolving when I first put him in my tank. There was a lot of yellow residue on the rock around it. I thought it was dissolving too, but it recovered from whatever it was (possibly some kind of molting due to stress?) and has taken up a position about 3" from a spray bar jet. It was indeed strange.

Lordhelmet · 09/17/2006, 01:32 PM

are you sure it didn't just blend in with the star polyps?

melev · 09/17/2006, 04:13 PM

No, it really did disappear. I can't remember exactly, but I think I put some snails and hermits in that tank overnight, and maybe one or more of them ate it!
