The 90!

[BonesCJ]

Got my stand yesterday and got my new 90 all setup and in its new home. Took from 4:00 in the afternoon till 2:30 in the morning but was well worth the effort. Jess was a big help getting the plumbing setup and he took a bunch of pictures during the setup so hopefully he will get those up soon. I'll keep everyone updated but as of this time we have lost 3 chromis, a royal gramma, a green mandarin, and our rainfords goby. The survivors are our yellow tang, perc clown(oldest fish in the tank at 4+ years), engineer and green clown gobies. We are thinking of firefish, pyjama cardinals, more clown gobies, a leaopard wrasse and very possibly a Watanabe Angel as our other big fish for this new tank. There is lots of swimming room and caves and at least one open sandy stretch. As for corals we lost pretty much all our SPS except one possible acro survivor, our LPS faired much better with only 25% losses and our zoo's and shrooms and leathers all held up like champs. And don't even talk to me about the survivabilty of GSP's, you cannot kill them. Looking forward to getting this bad boy fully stocked over the next several months and we are going to take this slow and really cherrypick our new additions.

Sounds exciting!

Best of luck to you this time around......and don't forget to update your sig info

Glad to hear the tank is back up and running. Don't stock too fast, you will have a bloom coming.

I am the worst win it comes to following this advise.

we've been playing it pretty safe, it is going through a (hopefully) short diatom bloom, running phosphate reactor and carbon reactor. At this point all we have is our yellow tang, perc clown, engineer goby, 2 bluestreak cleaner wrasses's and a yellow clown goby

Ok Ok I know I know, I have not posted any updated pics and for that I am a bad Reefer. However yesterday I added some more fish and got pictures of them in the system. Total stocking is now...

yellow tang
yellow eyed kole tang
perc clown
3 pyjama cardinals
rainfords goby
bluestreak cleaner wrasse
engineer goby

the kole and yellow so far are getting along fine, they are just about identical in size and they just circled and eyeballed each other.

oh yeah and today is 1 month!
