My new Cube !!! - Page 6

Fish list:
Female Lyretail Anthias
Pair of Yellow watchman
True Percula
Regal Tang
Heraldi Dwarf Angel
Unfortunately my 2 spot gobies didn't make it. One of them was real weak and didn't make it lasted one day, the other one did well for about 3 weeks but was constantly harassed by the watchman gobies and disappeared. I would like to add one more fish maybe a Blenny. I really wanted other gobies but I'm concerned with the aggression from the watchman gobies.

Looking real good Robert! Hows the Elegence doing in the new digs? I've been scrutinizing all the photos and havent seen any of it w/ the tenticles out and full. I'm hoping its just the timing of the pics....

With close to 2000gph of flow and the Halide just above it it doesn't open up as much as it use to I guess it's still acclimating. One thing I have noticed is the color is beginning to change it's developing some interesting patterns. Also because of the way I wedged it in the rocks it's difficult to get a good pic.

In the fourth pic from the bottom it's probably the best pic of it. Also the BTA sometimes because of the flow it's tentacles get kinda of close so maybe there's some warfare going on.

Glad to hear its doing well. I so desperately want to have one of these some day, but the two I've tried just didnt make it. Which I suspect could have been from a variety of reasons, not least of which was that they just werent in the greatest health overall to begin with.
So I'm forced to live vicariously through people like you who have gorgeous elegence corals like yours.
Thansk for the fix,
Nick

Thanx everyone for the kind comments

I would like some opinions on a final fish or do you think I've reached my stocking limit ? I would like to add some SPS frags soon my parameters are all good with nitrates barely detectable.
Cal/alk I'm checking tomorrow at the LFS.

Craig Manoukian · 07-12-2004, 11:24 PM

Can we get an updated livestock list Robert? TIA!

Brucey · 07-13-2004, 07:25 AM

Your setup with a sump should support one or two Flasher/Fairy Wrasses quite nicely, Robert!

cheeks69 · 04-03-2005, 04:53 PM

Well I figure I should update this thread

I added some SPS frags and some Zoo's and a few Rics I also added 2 Seios one 620 and an 1100 unfortunately it was too much flow for the LPS so had to deflect some of the flow towards the SPS on the left side of the tank.

My Orange tip BTA split for the second time into 3. I lost a couple of Beautiful Clams to PM and constant nipping from my Potter's. I also lost my Elegance after 2 years just didn't do very well in the new tank. My Regal Tang also went on a killing spree and killed several fish including the oldest fish I had a large male Yellow watchman and a Red Margin Wrasse

so he had to be removed...When I had the Yellow watchman pair they would also hunt and kill any other Goby I added to the tank

My current fish:
Yellow watchman
Potter's Angel
Solar Fairy
Scott's Fairy
Sunrise Dottyback
Flame Hawk

Anyway here's a recent pic
