Looking good man.. Pretty bare as far as corals go though? Is it gonna be mostly just fish only with a few corals?

I thought so but I'm testing the angel out with some zoa I just put in there today. Also the starfish but I don't expect it to be a problem. Definitely no SPS those will stay in the 90. I'm thinking about turning it into a big zoa garden. Putting frags all over and letting them cover the rocks. The only other fish I plan on putting in is a Bangaii Cardinalfish.

Yea I was going to suggest that, turn the 90 into a SPS tank and the 40 into a zoa/softie tank.. That would be awsome!!!

Here's the new addition. There's a second LTA but it's shriveled and white. She had it in a T5 tank that wasn't very bright for it's depth and it was up under the rock in the shade. Hopefully it'll fill back out in the halide.

This one looks good though and the maroon is nice!

shrivelled isn't the problem the color of it is. If it is white it is bleached and probably checking out. Try to feed it and nourish it back to health. good luck.....don't overfeed it just a small piece of shrimp/silverside every week ...until it regains it's color

hey whats the dimentions of these tanks?

 

[quaddity]

That anemone didn't make it. Never moved in my tank it was just disintegrating. Other one is doing great.

Jim the dimensions are 36" x 18" x 16".

New addition today a Bangaii Cardinal. We've been wanting to add one and the LFS was selling them for $12.99 couldn't resist

Clown and LTA are doing good:

Water parameters are good the LTA not looking so good lately. I added a Randall's Goby a few days ago and after a couple days of hiding he's decided to take up residence where the watchman and pistol shrimp live. Should be interesting they don't seem to be fighting yet:

sniff well this tank is being sold tomorrow. I have been unemployed most of the year and could use the money. Plus this tank just really hasn't taken off like my 90 did. I'm selling it for more than I have put into it so that's a plus. I put a really nice big Randall's Goby in a few weeks ago and after that my pistol shrimp and watchman goby disappeared. Never saw the two gobies fighting and the Randall's and shrimp should have paired. Once I decided to sell the tank I put the Flame Angel and Randall's into my 90. I thought the Flame might get beat up on by the damsels, gramma, etc. in the 90 but as soon as it went it it went on the attack and let the other fish know who's boss. Never hid made itself right at home. The goby did too I figured it would have hid for a few days but he made himself right at home.

 

[zoalover34]

That sucks that your selling the tank but atleast you still have the 90!!

 

[quaddity]

Yeah and the Flame looks so nice in the 90. Hasn't eaten any corals in the 40 so I think it'll be safe in the 90. If it came down to selling the 90 I'd just sell everything out of it and keep the tank I think.

 

[zoalover34]

Well lets hope it don't come down to that! Ive been there myself a few times lol.. If you end up going that route im calling dibs on that sunset millie and my old zoas!!
