My peps have never touched my acans, let alone any other coral. I thinks it could be hit and miss, as some people have bad experience with them. They are usually upside down under the rocks or in the back picking at the rocks. They did a fantastic job ridding my tank of aptasia though lol.

PM on hammers

Is this your media room? Did it come with the house or did you add it? My husband and I want to do build an in wall tank in whatever house we buy as well. One fresh, one salt. The hard part is finding the house. The easy part is building it all lol.

You have a very beautiful tank

Is this the same one from your other thread?

I can't believe how far its come in just 6 months! It looks great. Do you still have your fat engineer goby?

Honestly I don't know. I didn't have the right lighting to keep an anenome in my tank until recently, and killed 3 of them already learning this over the last year, so I decided to wait to get one until our 58 is set up with the new lights. Recently, the clown started hosting a rock cave near my engineer goby's entrance, but the rest of the clowns are not mature enough to respond to it. It's about 2 1/2- 3 yrs old.

I decided to keep my "burnt orange" and misbar clowns in hopes that they pair up, so I am selling my Ocellaris.

Asking $15 for it. Very fat and healthy. Eats anything you feed.

Will also consider trade for corals. Please no GSP, Xenia, mushrooms, kenyas. Those have all been flourishing lol. Hmm gonna have to trim that soon now that I think about it.

October?

heehee. You hiding a time machine?

Thats smart! My issue was that I had 3 main big rocks, and just couldn't figure out where to stick the smaller ones. I fiddled with it a while last night and after taking a few out and messing with it, I liked the way it got it all. I may take out one or two more rocks depending on how much I put in from my other tank.

Looks nice! How long did it take you? I am exhausted by a mere 29 gallon. Been almost a week and I'm not happy with how it looks still. lol.

What is your salinity level at? And when you top off are you topping off with, RO/DI or saltwater?

How do you clean their tanks? Do you have to wear protective gear when reaching in? I was curious to know if they see the hand that feeds, if they try to attack it or anything. They are so pretty, and have amazing colors. I love watching them.

Awww. I love your BPs. Did you keep them? I have a one eyed one that is such a ham.

They are so cute!

A 14 gallon biocube is way too small for your Scyllarus. I don't know who told you that a 14 gallon bio-cube is acceptable for a Peacock Mantis, but they need to be in at least a 30 gallon. 40 gallon breeder is good. A 120 and he/she will go exploring their mansion. LInk http://www.ucmp.berk...ame=o_scyllarus

The information you stated and your link you provided contradict each other. In the link (if you read it..) it states 100l which is NOT 100 gallons. It is liters and that would make their recomendation a 26 gallon aquarium. The OP's mantis is only 5", so that tank is fine.

Decorator urchins! lol I have one too that somehow managed to get some monty stuck to his back.

Same here. Let me get my list together

Melissa, just FYI Aquatek's water is RO only, no DI. The guys there told me themselves so I'm not repeating rumors. They also said that unless you're running an SPS tank the DI part doesn't matter.

Hey thanks! That's good to know, I had no idea.

I have a few "big" pieces that are about 5-7 lbs, and a lot of that are smaller, but don't weigh as much. I am not sure on the actual weight honestly. I will have to weigh them when I remove everything from the tank in a few weeks. I have another small tank filled with smaller rock that I couldnt really have in there due to space restrictions, but I wanted to keep it alive when we upgrade so it's my rock only tank in our bathroom lol.

I think Zarathustra2 is looking for a light like this. I pmed him for you

Well after two Lawn mower blennies, one that hid inside my powerhead during a water change that my husband later turned on... and one that jumped (that he bought to replaced the one he killed), I said no more. I wanted to wait to get another LM blennie until our new tank was finished. They are one of my favorite fish, as the two I have had have been hand nibblers and very in your face when you sit and watch the tank. But my husband surprised me at lunch today by handing my a little brown sack and I pulled out my new one. This one is a lot more red than my others, so the difference between them all is nice. My friend thinks they look like little walruses, so we name them Walford. So, I guess this is Walford III.

Yesterday was my day off so I decided to make my 150 barebottom, and spent a good part of 3 hours siphoning out sand and carefully putting it into our 75. Well I forgot that underneath the sand was a large piece of eggcrate, so I took it out and made a temporary frag rack. Also under the sand were a few suction cups that my catfish knocked off so they came in handy too.

Some more shots

Great photos! He's adorable! Everywhere I look babies!

Jestep, I normally go to the Dome for my water since they are close by to me. If I am North I will go to AquaTek for their RO/DI.

I know Christmas is around the corner,but I figured I would see if anyone had any LED xmas lights that they didn't want (color doesn't matter). I made a DIY lightstrip with a couple strands of blue lights for one of my FW tanks, and want to build another one or two. If not I can always stock up after xmas again

Thank you It's only a 20 gallon, nothing great, but our first shot at SW. We are in the process of building the stand for our 58 gallon, which has been on hold for a few months. We had to store a washer and dryer in our living room for a few months for my brother in law, so there was no room to manuver tanks around or anything in our one bed apartment. Teg, the clowns surprised me by how they instantly took to each other. I really like them, thank you again.
