North Dakota Mini-Ocean

Keeping the Genicanthus Personatus would be incredible... Are you really planning to get these?

Leonardo

I am 100% getting a pair of those fish...Might be 2-6 months though, but it will happen.

Sweet mother of God.

I am very concerned about the yellow anthias. The propects of them surviving at zero atmospheres is not good.

I am going to see how they are in the diver's holding tank for a week and then if all is well I will probably buy a pair.

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

Wrought Iron is Here!!!

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

Those Personatus are out of this world!!!

Please, Please get them!!!

I am going to do my best to get them.

One man's QT is another man's DT.

This will be one heck of a tank once fully stocked! Your Clarion is just beautiful. Cant wait till you get the Clipperton and Personatus Angels! Great job on the tank.:thumbsup:

How long are you going to QT them?

Do you have any updates on your frag tank?

I am going to QT everything between 2-4 weeks depending on room, temperament, and size. The clarion, conspic, and wrought iron will all go into the 125 QT next weekend. Then I am getting the anthias and gem in the following weekend. Sounds like the gems are still tiny (~1.5"), and they want to wait until they get a little bigger (~2.0-2.5")

The frag tank is holding the conspic and clarion as we speak and the wrought iron is about to go in within the hour. Once they leave I will use it to grow some frags out until the next batch of fish come in.

Reefaquariumnut、
You already had a pair of Masked Angel? Or you WILL get them soon?

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

Angels Coming as soon as possible...

I just checked on the new trio of fish and everyone just had a midnight snack. The clarion seems to tolerate his new tankmate.

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

My new skimmer for the 125QT should be here Saturday!! I chose the new ATB cone skimmer. 1050 v1.5. No fish coming this weekend which is somewhat of a relief...Gives me time to finish the plumbing and get water into the tank.

 

[Bax]

Nice skimmer. I am really impressed with thee big cones.

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

Finally plumbed and filled with water...

Looking good. I love that stand but I am not sure I would want the open beam floor. It will be interesting to see how that works out.

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

Gonna let the tank run until the weekend before I put the Conspic, Clarion, and Wrought Iron in. Those fish are doing great and all are eating anything i put into the tank.

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

I have plexi under the sump and around 3 sides to prevent spills to hit the ground where i can't clean it up.

 

[Reefaquariumnut]

I will also be adding much more rock once the fish go in. The rock in the tank now was some extra in the 600 sump.

 

[roktsintst]

Looks Good DAve! I cant wait ot see the pictures of the fish in there!!!

So you are comfortable adding the fish to a new setup? You used good tank water and cycled rock, right?

I just dont want anything to ahppen to those sick a$$ fish!!!

I am pretty comfortable, but I am being extra safe and going to let the tank run for a week before I add the 3 fish. The water and rock was from the main tank.
