Awesome tank Robz!

Can you post some details on the little coral lobster? Where did you get it, what does it live in, how big is it?

Wow! Your reef is always stunning! I have seen your site a couple of times before, and will continue to check it out in the future. Love those top-down pics!

Robie, Great interior design! Do your 12 longspine cardinals school real good? I was gonna add 9 blue chromis to my 155 but I have read that they "hang out" more than school.
Also, where did you get them and describe some other habits or characteristics of these cardinals.

Thanks Drew

thanks Drew, the Longspine cardinals that i have they do schoal but I seen in different threads that they "hang out" hmm... I would say that i been lucky with them so far. I would say I all depends on the tank mates too.
they are mouth breethers,and they prefer meaty foods they are little pigs , and they are not agressive towards other fish, they might bully sometimes between them, but that would be normal IMHO.

Congrats! :thumbsup: Almost every inch of that baby is covered. The color is just stunning.
How long have you had the Bluestripe African pipefish? Also if I may ask, what foods (of those you listed) do you see it feeding on most?

Lovely TOTM

thanks TippyToex , I had the blue stripe pipefish for around 2 years ...maybe more doing really good I have few good pictures of him but I will try to post some, I would say he feeds on most of the live pods and shrimp ,smaller organisms that grow in the refugium and in th sump I have tons everywere and they are big source of his diet

thanks again!!!


Rocky, thanks bud!!!
