nice zoos. I have a 30g tank as well. It's currently cycling, I plan on having a pair of tomatos and a bunch of BTAs.

Cool!

But get some kind of background...the tubing and equipment detract...

 

[Aquabucket]

Nice zoo collection! I think the tank would look even nicer with a background though.

Did you pick the turtle grass at the local shore?

I got my turtle grass from Playa Jobos about seven years ago.

Thanks for the comments, I will put a background soon I take out the old one because was turning two colors.

Anemonebuff- yes here at five minutes of my home, jobos great surfers beach jeje

My In-Laws have a house in Isabela. So I am there every year.

Nice tank, love the zoos as well.

Thanks Anemonebuff, have you snorkel at "Las cuevas de Kike Bravo"? is great very near Jobos.

 

[Anemonebuff]

That is the one by Montones(shacks)? The beach with the big rock in the center surrounded by the reef that has a manatee?

It has the caves(cuevas?) under the reef?

Many divers go there, very beautiful.

 

[20reefer]

That eel will outgrow a 30 pretty quickly..... just a headsup.

Yes I know, I order it 5'' so she will be fine for a time but a custom tank coming soon so thats why I will do it. Also she wll look kool LOL

Love the zoo collection

Consider painting the back of the tank (on the outside )- works better than those solid backgrounds and probably a bit cheaper.

Put a background on it then I'll comment

This is a nice tank but really suffers from no background!

 

[10" Red Devil]

Oh and did you collect this stuff locally?

 

[20reefer]
