Way bummer Robert!

Can't wait!

Oh! so sorry Robert, do you think the dip did it or was it something else? any sign of it on the other two?

It was obviously stressed and gaping noticeably but my over reaction probably just pushed over the edge. When I bought the Crocea it wasn't in good condition and had a tear on the mantle but it recovered and appeared to be doing well for a few months. The other clams are doing well so hopefully PM hasn't returned to my tank.

Well it's been a few months and I figure I should update my thread...lol
I have lost 3 fish unfortunately, my Pink-bar goby and Percula went carpet surfing { I really need to fix the back of my canopy }and for some unkown reason my Cirrhilabrus rubrimarginatus passed away, just became withdrawn and stopped eating

He had no visible signs of infection of any sort and appeared to be a fat and happy robust fish. This was a difficult loss for me as he was such a beautiful active fish and isn't very common in the hobby

Here's a current fish list:

Purple Tang
Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse
Canary Wrasse
Ornate Wrasse
Randall's Goby
Yellowtail Damsel
Pair of Pink skunk Clowns
Longnose Hawkfish

On a positive note my corals have done very well and growing at an impressive rate and some pruning well be necessary soon.

Your tank really is spectacular! I love the look of it. Very unique! Genius I say!

Dentoid · 03-17-2008, 10:57 PM

Sorry for for your losses Robert! Man is that tank spectacular. This is the first time, in the time I have been here, that I have seen your chronicle. Thanks for sharing, more!

cheeks69 · 03-18-2008, 04:48 PM

Thanx Scott and Terry for the kind words

boozeman · 03-18-2008, 05:46 PM

everytime I see your cube it inspires me to try and do the same with the corals growing on the sides like that...I absolutely love it !!!!

cheeks69 · 03-18-2008, 07:05 PM

Thanks Robert

Are you going to be able to see into your tank through the side panes or is that section going to be blocked off ?

boozeman · 03-18-2008, 07:10 PM

there is about a foot of space on either side of the tank.

tbittner · 03-18-2008, 08:09 PM

What fish do you have? Everything looks so awesome! I have one coral that my flame has been picking at and it's not looking so great anymore.

I would love to post some photos of the Wrasses but they're so active it's impossible for me to take clearly especially the Ornate.

Ah perfect ! You can put a few encrusting Monti's like the Superman !

Frankie · 05-15-2008, 07:53 PM

How about an update? I see your taking stuff out of your aquarium. That Monti is sweet. Shame you want to get rid of the whole colony.

kathywithbirds · 05-15-2008, 07:59 PM

Robert, how many gallons again? Can't find that -- Iknow it's 30 by 30, right?
