The first livestock went in today a clown goby!!

He is not much but i like him I have plans for 2 maroon clowns and 2 orange clowns
 
just make sure they don't pick on the goby. I had to move my clowns to another tank because they picked on mine.
 
2 maroon clowns and 2 orange clowns...

That's prob not going to work so good in a small tank Nate, maybe a 72" tank but I wouldnt even try that myself. I would pick one or the other in this case the choice is easy-Gold Strip Maroons. Get a pair and they are awesome to watch.
 
Tank is doiing great everything reading 0

Clown goby is doing fine as well and eating like a pig.

I was worried about a heat problem with the 12 hour mh light cycle and a 250 watt bulb over a 29 gallon reef. The tank has been averaging about 77.7 at 11 at night which is about 1 hour before the light goes off. So i don't think im going to have any problems.


The one thing I have noticed is its evaporating about 1.5 gallons of water a day!!! I think that is alot for a 29G !!! What do you think????

I was sitting in the other room when i heard "pop" i knew what it was the second i heard it, it was one of the bone cringing pops. I was praying it was not the display as i crept around the corner every thing looked good i was so happy. Then i opened the cabnit oohhhh a huge crack in the sump. I have no clue what caused it i think it was just matt giving people falty goods lol jk He did giver it to me but there was nothing wrong with it then lol

For real thought I think it was a baffle to large wedged to tight opps my bad didn't sand the acrilic enough lol Funny how thing like that can come back to bite you in the as$.

I drained the sump tonight and siliconed it over should be ready for 100 more years of service in the morning :-)

Simple they order hundreds at a time and get volume discounts that no LFS can compete with, but I wont get started on that. Besides your a student and need to save all the $$$ you can so do what you have to :D
 
My Girlfriend came to see me this weekend and brought a coral care package from my mom.

I went to the exotic jungle today and man that place has really gone to hell but any was they had some good rock in it was 7.00lb but good stuff. The empolyee told me it was what was left over after they broke down the big tank it was small peices of tonga.

I was looking in the rock tanks and i saw a peice that was covered it green star. I know they had it in ther because it came in on there coral shipment or somthing. And they had no where else to put it.

The guy had no clue what was going on lol i was like how much for that peice lol he was like 7.00/lb lol I took it and a rock covered in about 70 zoas for 7.00/lb lol

I could not belive he sold them to me as live rock lol Well made out like a bandit any way lol i almost feel bad about this almost lol ;-)

They don't look to good because they only had one strip light over them but i think they will color right back up !!!!! I can't wait to see what color they turn!!!!

So thats 7.00 for a massive colony of GSP and 70 differnt zoas lol they totaled about 1 lb in weight lol It was atleast 80 dollars worth of coral!!!!!!

Here are some pics
