Thanks, it is doing great!

yellowwatchmen · 10/16/2007, 06:45 PM

Well i am going to keep the lights off for 3 days. Today was the first day. And when i got home i turned on the light real quick to see if everything was ok and the tank was cloudy. Is this normal?

yellowwatchmen · 10/21/2007, 07:06 PM

Here are some more pics of my tank after i did the 3 day blackout and after i got the new bulb.

I also got a sand sifting starfish yesterday, but i cant get a good pic of him.

Looking good, really starting to fill in! Keep up the good work

yellowwatchmen · 10/23/2007, 06:07 PM

Thanks for the comment.

Get rid of the starfish, it is only going to eat everything in your sand bed and eventually die. No matter what an LFS tells you.

Trade it back in. They're awesome, but not good for capitivity.

yellowwatchmen · 10/24/2007, 08:11 PM

Then what else can I get that will keep the sandbed clean?

m2434 · 10/24/2007, 08:58 PM

Cerith snail and pods seem to do the trick.

agoutihead · 10/24/2007, 09:12 PM

Get like a dozen smaller nausarius, or half a dozen larger ones. They are really active. They bury & resurface all through out the day.

I have maybe 5 now and want to get at least 8 more.

Way more active than cerith snails even. You could add a few of those if you like too.

yellowwatchmen · 10/25/2007, 03:53 PM

I already have 8 ceriths. And 10 nausarius. Is there any thing i can feed the starfish?

sprinj76 · 10/25/2007, 05:03 PM

My next tank will deffinately be a 40 breeder.

i like the rockwork that u got.

yellowwatchmen · 10/26/2007, 02:51 PM

Thanks it took alot of time to get it like that. Any sugestions on the starfish.

yellowwatchmen · 10/28/2007, 08:54 PM

So I guess I am getting rid of the starfish tommorrow. But I am going to pick up 5 more hermits and 10 more snails. And 2 occeralis clowns.

yellowwatchmen · 10/29/2007, 07:52 PM

I got rid of the Star fish. I was going to get the clowns but they are $30 does this seem a little high? Oh yeah they are tank raised.

m2434 · 10/29/2007, 08:30 PM

My local LFS was charging $59 for tank raised black and white Ocellaris.... On-line they're cheap, but shipping sucks unless you order a lot at once.

yellowwatchmen · 10/29/2007, 08:45 PM

Well my friend might be ordering some live rock so I might just order when he is, depending on where he gets it from. And save on shipping.
Any suggestions on good on-line vendors?

yellowwatchmen · 10/31/2007, 08:55 PM

I am probably not going to get the clowns and instead a yellow coris wrasse. Will the wrasse bother my Pistol shrimp or my snails and hermits.

anyone?

yellowwatchmen · 11/04/2007, 08:11 PM

Update- I finally got my first LPS It is a toungue/slipper coral (Polyphillia sp.)
Here are some pics of the new coral and a good pic of my YWG and the Pistol.

yellowwatchmen · 11/04/2007, 08:15 PM

I had to move the coral around because the Hydor Koriola Was too much flo and it was blocking light from the zoos. But i finally have the HK adjusted just right.

yellowwatchmen · 11/05/2007, 05:20 PM

In case any one wanted to know my Coral Beauty has not nipped at the new LPS or any other of my corals. I just hope he never starts.
