Off to a great start. Look nice. What size is that? What do you plan on keeping in there? I have some LPS and soft coral frags if you are going in that direction.

Hey i could frag you some nuclear green palys and purple death palys if your interested?

 

[bently23]

ya man that sounds good ive been wanting some purple deaths but all my money has been going towards getting this thing started

 

[nwrogers]

Very nice! I really like the rock stack, lots of room for corals!!

 

[pimpinitup6969]

We will work something out I'll shoot you a pm when i get some frags cut

 

[fatrip]

very nice tank...how thick was the glass that you used?

 

[bently23]

i used quarter inch and triple layered the silicon so it should hold pretty good,, theres not that much water volume in there only about 12 gallons or so

Very nice little display. What are you feeding your harlequin shrimp? As I understand, their diet soley consists of starfish.

 

[bently23]

yes it does ive been feeding him chocolate chip stars, you only need to feed them about once every two weeks or so, in between feedings i throw him one of those pesky little stars we all have and he eats that up in about two minutes i think he/she is about setteled in the tank now and i am gonna sex him this week because tropical fish outlet has one about the same size and hopefully they will pair up cause id hate to see that one go being the owner told me he was feeding his clams and thinks its eating them):

Dustin I am glad to see those frags in the pic! I hope that Digi colors up a little better for you. I was kinda in a shaded spot, but it should come back to life. Thanks again for the sand man! It looks so awesome in the tank.

 

[bently23]

ya man the digi is coloring up a little bit the tip is getting more pink/orange then when you gave it to me,,the base is still kinda dull peach but i think its gonna be ok
by the way the harlequin is a beautiful baby girl,, now just gotta find her a man

Good luck! Glad to hear that the frags are doing well.
