What are the plans for the tank?
I am going to do with this tank what I had intended to do last year. I am going to convert it to SPS with anthias.
I spent the last 2 weeks emptying the tank of all the sand. I am donating it to local Toronto people who want to come and pick it up. I thought that might be nicer than selling it for $2 a lb or something like I see on some buy/sell boards.
I went to the LFS today and saw RBTAs. I was tempted to buy one but I wasn't sure if I wanted it. I find carpet anemones much nicer looking.
I wanted to trade away my snowflake eel and my ghost eel (yes, I found another one) but they wouldn't take them. They have too many eels in stock right now. I will hit another LFS tomorrow.
Currently, the fishes include:
3 x saddle back clowns
3 x pink skunks
1 x ghost eel
1 x snowflake
2 x truncated anthias
All of the other fishes disappeared into god knows where. I did find a nice set of purple tang bones by the carpet anemone once. Hmm, go figure.
Ultimately, I will replace the eels and possibly the clowns with strictly anthias. The tank is already overstocked as it is. What ends up happening is I go searching for a fish (say, a ghost eel) and instead I find another similar fish (say, a snowflake eel) and buy it. Then, I find the first fish later on and buy it. I did this with the clowns as well.
I think I will go for anthias and a pair of ocellaris.
The corals include:
a VERY large hammer
a small hammer coral (can't remember if it's a piece of the large hammer or a separate purchase)
several frags of a branching frogspawn (that I broke up and spead around)
a meat coral
Other things I can't remember.
Most of this will go "bye-bye". I'm not a fan of SPS tanks (I've told you many times I don't find them rather ugly) but anthias like them and I like anthias. So I don't expect to be searching for "purple monster" or whatever
BTW, the links didn't work before because I switched the site up. The way the site is now is going to be the new "look" of the site. Plain, simple, effective (and easy to update). Of course, I haven't got around to filling in the info yet. In fact, the site has nothing on it right now
