A Reef Tank in the Desert - +/- 1,400 gallon system

Just read that Jawsee is leaving the hobby and has sold most of his stuff, however, he does have his two Clarion Angels for sale. Maybe they could arrive on the next FedX Friday. :spin3:

Sohal Tangs

Sohal Tangs

So I needed to move the Achilles to make room for my new acquisition. A Sohal Tang.

I bought the Sohal from Reefanimals.com. So far, he is doing real good. Very, very active. I only purchased one as my LFS had one the same size in stock for three weeks. Unfortunately, when I went to pick up the other Sohal on Friday, it was dead. So I am looking again.

I have checked with with several sources for a 3.5" Sohal without any success. Quality Marine, Vivid, Live Aquaria, Reef Animals, Saltwater Fish, Blue Zoo Aquatics, Marine Gardens... no one has any smaller Sohals. If any of your LFS' have Sohals in stock, please let me know!!!!

I checked aquacon.com and they list sohal tangs but on the pricing it says, must be special ordered. you might want to call them and see what is the availability. i even checked petsolutions.com and they are out of stock.

My New Anemone

My New Anemone

Another one of my pickups from Unique Corals.

Scott sent me a beautiful Purple Magnifica Anemone. I believe they used to call these ritteri anemones. My clowns in one of my QT's found it immediately. It's just gorgeous!

We have a thread in the anemone section for show off your ritteri.

Come join us...

That little guy needs some care.

2 Achilles, 2 Sohal's and 1 Clown Tang all in the same tank. I hope they all get along. Keep us posted on how they interact with each other.

Looking good Ian! I will be following along for sure!

What model is that ozone? Does it makes noise? Would you recommend it? Looking for a good ozone unit...

Its the Del Clear for above ground pools. No noise whatsoever. So far, so good. It came highly recommended by Dave, o2manyfish. He has been using his for years!

You're Nutz! I love it, I thought I was bad lol

I hear that from my wife every day! Trying to set up the Genesis System like you. I have a few problems. Need to search the forums and/or email Kevin.

 

[danfeig]

Ummmm that is pretty sick Dan. To see all those boxes stacked up and you still waiting on another deliver is pretty much straight pimp. Then the acclimation drains to those buckets. I am not worthy of you.

Wayne, you are more than worthy. Wait till you start filling up your bad boy. I will admit two things... 1) Yes, I am pretty sick. 2) Your Buckeyes are going down, down, down.

 

[dotcommer]

Do you ever sleep???? I don't know where you find the time for all of these FedX Friday projects. Keep up the amazing tank.

Oh and you better ensure that the Buckeyes go down! I loathe the Buckeyes....
