Beautiful firefish!!
Oldude's new 400 gal tank build
- Thread starter Oldude
- Start date
Thanks Leonardo, I've been thinking about wanting some of those for a long time.
I don't have a cover but fish rarely jump in this tank due to the size and plethura of hiding places. I guess time will tell but I have been pretty lucky with this tank. (I'm keeping my fingers crossed)
Thanks for the compliment, I'm glad you like them. Most photos are taken on 14K lighting.

M.samarensis looking pretty darn bright:crazy1:
I seem to get a lot of careless snails falling into corals at night. This little a.horrida colony caught a snail a few weeks ago and has already almost encrusted over the whole thing.
I'm kind of digging this coral lately since it's starting to smarten up.

Nature is so COOL!

I just went down to have a look at the tank and the fish were having a feeding frenzy on what from a distance looked like air bubbles but with a closer inspection they were actually clouds of tiny little white creatures that I have never seen before. I don't know if I just had a huge pod explosion or some just fish spawned a about a thousand fry or what. They were about copepod size, whitish in colour & straight looking with eyes however they were not mysid shrimp. As I said I've not seen these before but it was very impressive because there were literally big clouds of them. I need to start keeping my video camera charged & near the reef at all times because there has been some very interesting stuff happening lately.:crazy1:

Definitely get that camera charged Gregg! I'd like to have seen what you described... not something you see, let alone even "hear" about everyday???
As usual your corals look phenomenal, nice Helfirichi's too!

Thanks a lot Dave. Yeah it was really interesting to see. It reminded me of a National Geographic special where they show large sholes of fish being eaten by bigger fish. I did see some go into the overflow so maybe they will grow in other parts of the system but I'd assume they would likely get eaten by my firefish living in the sump.
Too bad you couldn't take pictures. It would be interesting to determine what it isI remember I had a copepod explosion one time without knowing what it caused. LPS and fish had a good day!
Leonardo
Yeah a good time was had by all
well except for the babies, what ever they were.
I would have loved to see that on YouTube!

Here's my latest but very "timely" addition to the fish room.
Maybe now I won't get lost in a "space/time continuim" the way I normally do when I'm tinkering around in there. On occasion I can literally loose hours at a time.
lol Its awesome!! How much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking?
