Mark's 180 Starfire upgrade

[jtarmitage]

I must say that my Hawaiian flame is the coolest fish I've owned. I thought it was the Rosy, but oh no! Put a female wrasse in the tank and watch the display!!!!:eek1:
I love tangs, but they just can't compete with this.

Where's Jim at? I need some Tang-love over in my corner

Mark, I have just a few feather dusters. I do feed my tangs bloodworms though, but they go crazy after that. Aren't CBB a shyer, slower fish? How could I get the CBB to feed on the bloodworms?

The way I see it, you have a great skimmer, use it. I am feeding meaty foods twice a day until there is a haze in my tank and I also feed a session of pellets and flakes. If its meant to be, they will eat. The feather dusters are the plus.

Where is the picture of the flame Jeremy? Is that the one that Emma put you in a trance over? I got my rosy that same day. Good times

I still need to get a pic. He was showing off again tonight, but had to get the kids in the bath and to bed, so no pic. I'll get one in the next couple of days.
Yes. I'm soooo glad Emma used her Jedi Mind control that day!!!! And yes, that was the same day you picked up the Rosy.

T, Jim will be out of commision for at least a week. I saw him lurking earlier today but he didnt post.

Wrasse and Tangs are both really cool.

Yeah, his better half is in town for a couple of weeks, so we won't likely see much of him.

They had a load of yellow coris wrasses at Exotic on Sunday. I almost bought one for my frag tank, but figured I'd just wait for awhile. Bought a HCW instead.

My HCW kicked the bucket yesterday. seemed to be eating!

Sorry to hear that Davey.

Jeremy stopped by tonight for a tank swap. I traded him a 55 gallon for a 40 gallon breeder. I can now start setting up a real garage QT system.

Do I trust myself to drill it for a bulkhead? Stay tuned.

I am just dilling the 40 gallon and adding a 20 gallon sump.

I started to think about my QT/dipping procedures and I have decided that I am going to set up a 40 gallon breeder in tha garage instead of my 2 20 gallons.

I am going to drill the 40 breeder for a side durso and plumb it into one of the 20 gallon tanks as a sump. I have a mag 3 laying around that I will use for a return and 2 modded 6025's for some flow. I have a 150 watt sunpod on my tank right now so I will continue to use that. I have a bakpak on a tank right now and I still have my RS 6-2 in the garage.

Its going to be pretty basic, but it needs to be done. What do you guys think? Do you guys have anything to add.

Here ya go Bart
