My Coldwater Setup From New Zealand

haha yea 17 degrees celsius so 62.6 farenheit lol. And yea it will, but its only just summer now, so thats why I'm getting the chiller set up now.

Oh so your tank hasn't been set up that long?

BTW were the pictures that you have early in this thread taken with the same camera you have now?

Nope that long.

and yer.

So take more pics!!! I'm about to post some new not so good ones on my reef thread. So get to it .

lol, they never turn out good but will try later on.

Lol okay. Same here but at least it's something to look at. Are you allowed to ship stuff out of NZ?

Um pretty sure we're not ay. But not 100%

Oh. Well i can understand with all the trying to keep native species in and non native species out.

Wow there not that bad. Whats the first fish?

Took them with my phone lol. Triplefin family not sure of exact species cause theres like a million lol. same fish in all the pics.

Oh nice. He looks really flat in the first one and not so flat in the others.

lol well it is the same fish. Must just be the angle.

You should really try and catch one of those ornate cowfish. They are right in your neck of the woods lol.

haha

That is your next assignment. Get to it! Do you have all the gear?

Well, when and got sum more jewel anemones today along with some nudibrach. Got a real small clown nudibranch but mybloody triplefins got him. Thinking they might have to go. Want some more unusual fish anyway. Tanks looking good, sump needs a clean tho LOL .

that tank looks good!!! I wish you good luck trying to catch a ornate cowfish!!! They are very fast, unlike other cowfish species!!!

Taken the tank down Just been to busy to keep it going. Thought I'd post up so really old pix of the tank. As i've set the tank up then shut it down twice now. So this is the first time I used the tank:

And here it is before I shut it down recently:

If you look closely in the picture from my old tank, you can see the crayfish I used to have, think you guys call them lobsters? He's to the left of the pink sponge on the right, in the kinda cave the rocks make, pretty hard to see as its quite blurry. Stupid camera.

Yeah i see him and if they were from the ocean than they are indeed lobsters. When us Americans refer to crayfish they are from FW .

Sorry that you took the tank down . I did the same. More of a conflict of interest though. I hope it doesn't develop into a trend.

These are jewel anemones which are not anemones but are closely related to corals more so than anemones

At least I thought they were lol

They're still good looking. Of course how would we know? They're New Zealand species .
