Hi there folks....

take a look here: http://www/Photos.aspx?AlbumID=4

this is a 55 with older rock I got about 4 years back from TBS and a few corals from other places... after florida storms and some moves I had to get some new stuff from TBS.

in a day or so I will get some better photos and more as the tank settles in....

Thanks Richard!

Denny,

Great looking rocks you got there. Do you have any updated pictures? I sure would love to see them.

I just got back from Florida and next week I'll start working on the 75g tank.

Btw--driving from Naples to Tampa you have a beautiful pier there for fishing and that bridge was a heck of a drive uphill.

Hi there!

I am planning on taking some photos soon :)

last few weeks:

I noticed that I had red flatworms; I am 99% sure they were in my tank for a while and just got to where I realized what they where. So I started making extra water and orderd some stuff to treat them. Salifert Flatworm Exit -- worked good I think.
I can't find any of them now.

as part of how I did this i did a 90% water chnage and am running charcol to absorb any worm-toxin.

after treatment I ordered a yellow fiji leather and a red chilli
and a sixline wrasse.

some of the tube coral has went white but 80% (about) has stayed brown and even most that lost color seems to be feeding.

I found a few crabs during the cleanup, two were very small, one was just barly able to pinch as I moved them to the sump.

I have a hitch hiker I am going to photo and try to get a solid ID.
I think it's a large Tunicate
about in inch long and has two vent holes, it's on the side of a gulf clam.

no hair alge so far (fingers crossed).

shaving brush seems to be growing.

trying to find the "best spot" for the chilli as they normally live suspeded from the top of a cave and hang down.

Bridge: you mean the Sunshine Skyway Bridge??
if so take a look at the movie "the punisher" it has footage on that bridge.

more photos soon...
 
Denny,

Sorry to hear about the trouble you had. I'll have to start taking notes on what works and what doesn't. How long was the treatment?

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to stop in Tampa other than catching a flight out of the TPA but certainly would like to go back to Tampa and spend some time there. For 8 days I was driving quite a bit from West Palm to Key West then onto Naples where I spent longer then expected. All that driving and I didn't come across any fish store and I guess you folks only have to stop by the beaches to get...

Hope everything work out for you and love to pictures of your tank when you get a chance.

Ah good old "sea squirt"! What color? I have red and yellow ones. One of the red one's is like 3" long.

Treatment: worked good. I may have lost 1 fish during the process.
I did more than the required steps as I wanted to make it go smooth.
took about 4 hours I think, that included moving a bunch of the coral and rock, blowing each one off with a turkey baster underwater to try and keep the worms in the tank.
then treatment - 1 hour.
then water chnages
then put rock and coral back in.
seems like the only victem was a goby who went missing.

this thing is not very cute. just kinda brown-ish.

but yes might be a squirt.

I have seen and ID'd many of the small colonial tunicates on rock
and I have seen photos of the big pelagic ones.
