I was ruling out the hippo bc I hear they're super prone to ich. Think I like others better anyways- just hafta decide. Forgot about the anthias I want too...

Ok, I'll quit hijacking Garretts thread so he can get his answers- sorry again, lol. Now that the 90 is ready to be stocked and since we've decided to tear down the nano, I'm wondering about number of fish I should responsibly have. I'm trying to figure out how the additional clown goby and 6 line are going to affect my wish list. Here's what I have now: red firefish, very small clown, lawnmower blenny, 6 line, and then the pseudochromis I may be trading for being a bully. Here's what else I want: another clown, a tang (which kind is in question-see hijacking of previous thread), a flame angel to be added last, some kind of fairy wrasses, and a tail spot blenny. Would love a dwarf lion if he could live there nicely (kids already have him named al capone, so not sure about nice then, lol). Was gonna do a green chromis but now I have the 6 line so not sure about him either.

Thoughts? Never had a tank this size and know stocking numbers depend on the kind of fish and size etc.

Filtration rt now is lr and frequent wc. A skimmer is in plans for march...

Thanks!!

And I am totally hijacking now. When yall brought up a tang, I know garret has a biocube which is too small for one. I'm looking at the best fit in a 90 with a sump so that's where the tang suggestions are coming from. I like them all, so want to know which are the hardiest and will eat the most algae AND be happy in that size tank.

-Garret, Mexican turbo snails do rock at normal algae, just be sure to glue your corals down. Mine used to knock things over in my nano all the time. Looks very small in the big tank though, lol.

Ooo, sailfin or yellow...which is better in a 90? And I'll wait on the final verdict of the pic I'd since what I have looks a lot like it...

Ok, bryopsis it is. Guess it came in on a rock. Don't really feed the tank yet, so not sure what it's thriving on. Maybe the lack of a cuc that eats it. Hope the millions of snails and crabs I've got coming today will help it. My lawnmower is slowly working on it. Tangs eat it too? Been wanting one of those, was just waiting...maybe I need to quit waiting, lol! And thanks, Garrett, for letting me half hijack your thread

Lol, that's a thought too. I'm really hoping that when I get home he will have moved somewhere else. At this point, since he's already unhappy and unsettled, we just want him off the intake so we can move him to the big tank. We were going to wait for nemo to grow a little more, but now may be the best time. IF the wretched thing will let go!

How do you tell the difference?

That's a good idea! I tried the turkey master and trying to push it through, but it just got mad at me and didn't move. We kind of decided its just happy there. Not enough flow to hurt it after further inspection, but I don't want it there. Ice may do the trick. Thanks!

You're fabulous! Thanks, Laura, that's it Need to sell it or trade it for rock or a skimmer...

Hey Laura, I wish...its on a jbj nanocube and is built into the back wall

Just in time for Valentine's Day- I'm selling a 1/2 carat, 10k gold setting heart pendant- $100 OBO. No chain with it though. I have an ad on CL that has a pic. My phone is being cranky about sending pics tonight.

And I took that pic last night. Tonight the shrooms look even bigger and their mouths aren't as open- guess they've settled in

If you look closely at the fts, you can also see the shrimp hanging out. The kids named him al pacino, lol! Who knows...

I am thrilled it went with me! Here's a fts, and a close up of the mushrooms under the actinics only. LOVE them!!

And looks like the pic didn't go. It's a few inches long and slotted. Anemone appears to be doing fine. Tips are bubbled like normal and fish is hosting. Water is still clear. He just needs to move so I can turn the filtration back on...

I'm trying to put the pic off my phone here. We'll see. My gbta hasnt been happy for a few days- since I moved his rock when I stole some for the big tank. Been moving all over trying to find his happy place again. Ended up on the intake today. I got home and his foot is sucked into the back. He's doing fine and his clown is ok where he's at, but how do I get him out? I turned the filtration off and am hoping he'll move himself since I couldn't push/pull him out. Help...

Oh my, working at the LFS could be dangerous!! Although, if they cut my teaching position, I may be giving it a try

Yeah, I thought so too Glad you talked me into it, lol!!

It was so nice to meet you!! Thanks for the shrimp and beautiful mushrooms! The perfect centerpiece in my tank. I'll post a pic later

Hey y'all, I need to get rid of this pseudochromis before I can move my baby clown into the 90g. Apparently, it has decided it owns the entire tank and has been bullying my lawnmower that I added this weekend. Baby nemo is waaaay more impt than a pseudochromis. Willing to trade for just about anything Thanks!

~Stacy

You ARE a great artist! I'm so jealous! Anyways, I live out by Cedar Park so if you need help moving or anything, just holler Austin is my favorite place in the whole state!!

pm'd about shrimp

Congrats on all the happy things going there Welcome to Austin! What part? I love your avatar pic- super cute!!

Here's the beautiful blue pagoda cup I got at RCA last night! More than I usually spend on things, but very worth it (and still very cheap compared to what some of y'all spend, lol) Blue's my favorite color and hard to find in anything other than SPS corals so I am super happy!! Just thought I'd share since they had several more...

Hey Jake, if you find out when it's coming in, I can let you know about pick up. I may let you get it and then I can get it from you if it comes in during the day. Thanks!

That looks amazing! I want one
