DianaKay's RSM 250

[DianaKay]

Just got done reading your thread! Great job so far!!

IMO, there is almost no such thing as too much flow in a reef tank. As mentioned already, I highly recommend at least one MP10 in there and if you can, get it with the battery back up!

Keep up the great work!

Oh btw, I order all my fish, corals and supplies on line. Never had a problem. My favorite place for corals is the Reefgardener. Morgan is great! Her corals arrive pest free and look better in person than her pics. 90% of the corals in my tank have come from her.

Thanks for reading through my thread Spirofucci! I'm having so much FUN with this aquarium. I checked out the Reekgardner, looks great...Thanks for sharing! My 1st on-line FISH & coral are scheduled to be here MARCH 5th, NEXT TUESDAY...I'm overly EXCITED . (Hard to wait!!!!) coming from Blue Zoo. If it goes well, I may just order on-line from now on. My LFS is 90minute drive & I don't get to go very often. I'm still thinking about the MP10...there are lots of ???'s I have about it. I want to research it more before I order one.
Speaking of "back-up" ...Hubby got me a BIG generator & it's out in his "car barn"....I'm happy about that
Come on TUESDAY!! :biker

I am not saying this because I have one for sale but I would consider a used MP10 just because of the cost. I purchased a used one because I was sure if I would like it.

Getting a new fish TUESDAY from Blue Zoo...if it's in good shape after shipping, will post a picture update

Looking forward to seeing what you get in the order. I may be bringing home a couple goodies tomorrow if I have the energy to acclimate properly as I'm on night shifts right now.

Great pics !

 

[DianaKay]

Thanks Glenn!
Well, IT'S TUESDAY....I'm sitting at work waiting for my NEW FISH (a Midas Blenny) to arrive via FedEx.
Hope it had a good safe trip & is ready for a few hours drip time & it's new home in my tank.
Should be here SOON

Hoping your new baby has a safe trip and arrives soon.

New occupants are so fun. I will be placing my ricordia order this weekend and probably pick up my royal gramma.

I think you will be impressed with Blue Zoo Diana, I also have some corals coming in tomorrow......Alas, I have no more room at the Inn now, OOHHH but I will get my Barnacle Blenny....

Have fun later

Only problem with the gramma I found is he hides so darn much. But it is a great looking fish.

IT'S HERE New arrival at 11:20AM....home & now drip acclimation in process. I tested the water in the bag with my refractometer and it tested at 1.019 ....seems like a bit of a YIKES! to me, should I be concerned? I'm dripping very s-l-o-w

Charlie had His last little look & now he is locked in his room until new arrivals are in a safer place
(Can you see his Mickey Mouse tattoo?) He likes our new hobby too.

 

[Spirofucci]

Midas, the best reef fish ever! You are gonna love that guy.

A lost of fish vendors keep their salinty low because it cuts down on disease and parasites. Just do what yer doing and you'll be fine! Pics soon we hope!

 

[LSUFireGal]

How is the little guy? The local reef club did a group buy of Wyoming White Clowns an those guys were nice enough to donate a pair to my son. They seem to be doing nicely. Here is a pic of them floating.

OMGosh, those are gorgeous clowns!! My new addition (Midas Blenny) was in full cammoflage and hiding under my toadstool coral this morning. I drip acclimated him for about 3 hours & then floated him to temp acclimate. Needless to say, the poor baby has every right to be stressed. I have no idea how long it takes for them to turn back YELLOW but I hope he does.
I'm excited to get off work this evening & see my new zoas & mushrooms. I haven't seen them opened yet.
Here's my new baby temp floating in the bag:

And here he is wondering "what's next?" After he got outta the bag:

Hope to post a picture of him lookin sweet in his YELLOW color soon

 

[JoeCanada11]

Sweet. Love getting new inhabitants. My gobies will be next possibly followed by a royal gramma or banggai, over time of course.

 

[Spirofucci]

Nice clowns! Looks like they have cool markings!

edit: lol, those aren't your clowns, I thought I was on LSU's.

In that case, nice Midas!!!! I think I can safely say that he will become your favorite fish.

Thanks! I guess I shouldn't have posted that pic on your thread. I just wanted to share that we got new babies on the same day. ( If you want to have mods remove it I understand, I was just overly excited.). They gave my son a few nice frags too. I am so thankful to have those guys care about my son so much. I didn't know anything about Wyoming White Clownfish until after I acclimated them, I knew designer clowns could be pricey, but if I had known I would have been a nervous wreck. Lol

Glad your little guy made it safely! I am sure he will color up quickly, my tail spot blenny turned grey when I put him in my main display from the biocube yesterday but he had colored up by lights on this morning.
