How aggresive are your Baselets? The colors of your fish and corals are fabulous!

 

[boozeman]

beautiful!!!

Those actually aren't basslets. They are orchid dottybacks, they used to be a whole lot more aggressive when I had a royal gramma in the tank with them but without him they are pretty docile. Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks Booze.

Does anyone know a place to buy some nice scrolling hammers and some different torches?

Thanks,

Matt

Well I got some news about the tank. I have a couple new additions and some more on the way tomorrow. I placed an order from petsolutions.com and reeftopia.com Well anyways yesterday I went around looking in fish stores. I found one with some good prices on frags. I have some pics of them and a couple pics of some existing stuff.

I had to add a fan for temp control as I was having a 4 degree swing daily. I now only have a 2.5 degree swing. Is that still too much? All the corals look happy and are doing well.

Heres the pics.

Green toadstool

Green stars

Here is the new stuff that I bought yesterday. Can anyone ID these, I really don't have any idea what they are.

Thanks,

Matt

Awesome new corals.. really filling up that tank

 

[aquaman3680]

Thanks billy. Yeah a lot will be leaving when my parents move their stuff into the 210 though. I will have plenty of room after they take their stuff.

Beautiful... :drooool:

What kind of camera are you using? The quality is amazing!

They are orchid dottybacks, they used to be a whole lot more aggressive when I had a royal gramma in the tank with them but without him they are pretty docile.

Thanks for the clarification. Glad to hear they are not too aggressive at this point.

Wow!
Everthing looks great!
Can't help with the coral id as I'm not very good at that.

 

[blue_eyes53813]

Tank looks great, congrats...

 

[aquaman3680]

JFK- I am using a Nikon D50, thanks for the compliment.

Thanks Gina and Blue_eyes!

Well I have an order coming in tomorrow from reeftopia.com. I ordered some different types of snails some peppermint shrimp, a black cap basslet, and some more nassarius snails. I will put pics of them up tomorrow.

Beautiful pics of a gorgeous tank!
I love my black cap but he is a major digger. Just be warned. He was very shy for the first week or so and hid in a hole. Now he is out an about and a gorgeous addition.

 

[aquaman3680]

Thanks Lynn, yeah he aint appearing yet hopefully soon though.

Got some new stuff today. I have some pics of the stuff that I got and I also have some growth pictures.

Let me know what you think...

[boozeman]

i like those nerites :lurk:

 

[Craig Manoukian]

Fear the Camel Back, eh? Fabulous photos!

 

[billyr98]

Nice New stuff!!!

 

[lcstorc]

Just wait till the black cap starts coming out. Mine is quickly becoming one of my favorites in my reef (other than my Sailfin who is the absolute top.)
The growth pictures look awesome. You are certainly doing something right.

 

[aquaman3680]

Thanks all, booze the nerites are awesome. By the way booze when are you getting your tank setup?

Lynn, I saw the black cap for the first time today just briefly though.

I was thinking about adding another tang, either a convict, kole or a sailfin. I need it to be a good algae eater and it needs to be a non aggressive one. Based on that which do you think would be best for my system?

My parents took out all their stuff today. Got some pics of the tank with out their stuff.

CRAB FIGHT!!! lol

There is a better growth photo than the one on the previous post

That is one of the coolest clams i have seen in awhile

I have a couple of new growth photos

6 months

9 months

9 months

Heres one of the things that I used to be into- but he died from some mouth disease

RIP

The Kole tang should go well with your Hippo tang, a Convict may not survive the Hippo's aggressiveness.

Fabulous looking stuff!
