187 Gallons of FUN! - Page 4

Update

Ok I've had a humidity issue and I've installed an oscillating fan into the stand as a quick fix until I order some new ones. I've also added some new friends:

one of my dersa's

and the other

this little guy begged me to bring him home

Twinspot goby (Signigobius biocellatus), he has amazing color on his pelvic fin: black with blue spotting and he's already at home roaming the tank pecking at the sand. I have a midas blenny and longfin fairy wrasse coming in Monday, I hope.

Looking great...
I understand why they are your favorite inhabitants.

Take a full tank shot again if you get a chance.

Thanx for the compliment and I'll get an FTS after I preform a water change this weekend.

Very, very nice. Love the Harlequins,[I gotta pair too] and the Rainford. Great job.

rkelman · 07/02/2009, 05:30 PM

Nice stuff. I love the Harlequins too. I'm getting a pair as my asternia stars have gone nuts and are starting to bother my corals.

hamiltonguy · 07/02/2009, 07:36 PM

Hey very nice set up!

Just a few words about the twinspot goby and the elegance coral. The twinspot gobies can be a little hard to get feeding so you might want to look out for that. As for the elegance, hopefully you got an Australian species, because the Indonesian ones won't last more than a couple months. I just recently lost an elegance. And if you've already done the research, you're all set!

Good luck with the build!

Oh and btw the harelquins are looking amazing.

JDigital · 09/11/2009, 02:51 PM

Any updates? Would love to see an FTS....

deaclauderdale · 09/11/2009, 04:17 PM

Asternia's can't flip themselves over which isn't as bad with the pyramid shaped ones as they wind up on their side and have a chance of rolling to the side so they can stand up. The ninjas are completely SOL when they land on their back, they drown. I played "flip over the snail" for the first week before I just gave up. I have a few left but my hopes aren't high. The do look very cool when they are alive though.

Fantastic, total envy but.....you gotta get some vortecs up in that thing man!
