Also picked up some Alvepora

And Mushrooms

Now I have 2 tanks in my room.

Thinking of stocking it with a pair of Onyx Clowns, Flame Angel, and lots of Coral.Any other cool fishes for this tank?
And does anybody know where to get the Onyx's? I'll even buy babies. They don't need to be a pair yet.

I got my Onyx clown from Rods which is in your neck of the woods.

I think I paid $75 or $85 for my single Onyx, he raises them so he always has juvies on hand.

Here's a picture of my two (I kept one and a friend got the other, I regret splitting them up now).

I think those set ups are really neat, I just wish they came with better lighting options.

 

[FishboyBT]

Yeah I really love it. Now is the lighting ok to keep Croceas in?(Long Term)

[FishboyBT]

Can I keep the Croceas in there with that lighting?

looks like a great start

Looks very nice but are your rocks touching the sides of the tank?
Have my RSM now for about 4 1/2 months and had mine leaning against the side glass also. Had to start over after a while as it was impossible to keep the glass clean because of the algea growth on the glass. And trust me in the beginning you well get some as this is part of the cycle.
As you see mine is still quite close to the glass but I am at least able to clean those areas with a small cleaning pad.

Don't get me wrong here. I really like your setup especially the nice caves you provided for your fish. Just try to move the outer ones a little.

$400!! I'm jealous!

 

[FishboyBT]

Thanks for the advice MAXreefer. I never thought of that. I'll move the rocks so I can get in to clean.

Thinking about tank mates:
-Juvi Perculas
-Flame Angel
-Mandarin(Don't worry I give her pods weekly and she is really fat. And only 2.5 inches long. I already have her just want to move her.)

This ok so far?

FishBoy-

Here's a good site for upgrades.

I wouldn't keep a clam under anything less then MH lighting. Depending on the species it might outgrow your tank.

 

[FishboyBT]

that's what i thought. I was thinking crocea.

 

[FishboyBT]

!@%$&$*-i HAVE ISOPODS!tHE BAD KIND!!!!I have to do an iodine drip and rearrrange all of my live rock.

 

[Slakker]

how'd you know? Did you see them swimming around??

 

[wilcalil]

Terrific! Love this Red Sea Max

 

[FishboyBT]

they came to eat the dead snails. Posted in the reef discussion section and most people think they are bad.

 

[FishboyBT]

Never mind.Were just going to drop the salinity to 1.012. I have no livestock.Is this low enough to kill em off?

 

[Slakker]

Could be...but anything low enough to kill the isopods is low enough to kill your corals.

1.009 should do it (if the drop in SG will even affect them.) as this is the recommended level for hyposalinity treatment.
