40 Gallon Reef

Lol. Just get some base rock from reefcleaners or something. Its cheap and looks great. Or look local for live rock.

When my dad goes to cal hes getting some cheap from this big fish store. Though i already posted that lol. I will check out the reefcleaners stuff though.

My amazing wrasse charles



Tanks shots. All left right and middle of them. I'm done trying to get quality pics with my cameras :music:.

Charles lol

Yeah. What cool names do you have for you fish!? .

I don't name fish. I would get attached. I have had my clown for over a year, survived my cycle and my starfish and several complete rescapes (mini cycles) lol

Discovered a GREAT lfs . Will order ANY fish for me and has great corals and frags. So tons of angels and great deals on lots of stuff. Didn't get anything though. <_<.

Got a sailfin today . Pics coming soon .

*Okay here we are. When he was acclimating in the bowl one of your parakeets flew into it!!! . Thank god that she didnt scrath up franklin . I had to give the parakeet a nice FW bath though lol. He has gotten right to cleaning up the algae and he is an excuse to upgrade. Since the tank is my dad and ours project i made sure he new it would get 15 inches big and that we would be upgrading to a 125g aquarium . He's only four 1/2 inches big though so we have about 8 months or a year...okay here they are.

Acclimating





In the tank .

awesome... PICS!!!!!!!!

Okay i put some up. Btw it was a hard decision between the blue, yellow, and powder brown tang. But after thorougly inspecting each we concluded that since he had been there the longest (2 months) and since he looked the healthiest we got him .

looks good!

Yep. He is so cool. I am really happy because the B&W damsel who thought he was the king of the tank turns out not to be with this guy in there.

lol

LFS has an absolute gorgeous coral beauty! Should i get it this week

looks nice... and how's the wrasse?

Good.

Bad BAD day!!!! . Tank crashed last night . Out of eight fish we now have two left. Franklin, my Sailfin died, my favorite fish. We also lost Charles my beloved six line and two yellow tail damsels and a blue devil . All we have left is the fire goby and the b&w damsel.

No idea what made everything crash. Nitrates, nitrite & ammonia were all at zero. But then we checked the pH. Not good, it was 7.4 and we all know how low that is. So it must have killed them off, it's back up and hopefully stable for now. But it's just not my luck.

Hmm. Wonder what changed? I mean your using aragonite right? That should have been plenty to keep it buffered.

Nope, just sand from home depot. I guess i should update you guys though. Got a purple tip nem, doing great. Also got a new hydro-koralia powerhead , and some lights, for softies. Don't remember what kind but they work wonders.

But my poor fish .

GET ARAGONITE BOY!!! <-- Just doing to you what you would do to me. All to help each other though right?

Haha nice, yeah that would be nice. But...i don't control the budget for this thing. Anyways using the pH up stuff should work as long as we monitor it. Pics coming soon.

Eww...Chemicals...I dont know why but I wont use chemicals of any kind in my tanks unless I absolutely have to...Not like im a tree hugger or something I guess I just have a chemical phobia 0.o HURRY UP WITH THE PICS! YOU OWE US FOR FAILING!

Yeah i'm partial to it myself. I'll see what i can do.

Man if you cant get a 20 pound bag at least pick up a 5 pound bag. It at least helps.

Will do.
