Wanna be Mini ocean....

So are you going to put any sand or anything in the overflow to sort of hide the pipes? Or will it always just be viewable like that? Just curious.
You'll love not having to go to the water store.......just don't forget you have the unit on and flood the place! Been there, done that......several times.
Can't wait to see more pictures after you move things today!

Dont worry it hook it up outside on my apartment's porch since i use a garden hose to run the RO/DI.

The fun being at 8 this morning and end about 1:45 just in time for the Cards game. Here are the pics after all the fun today.

 

[kingfish83]

Visited the LFS to start stocking my new tank. Bought some nice looking fish today. Here is a list of the fish i got today.

3 Squareback Anthias
1 firefish
1 yellow coris wrasse
1 sailfin tang

Took some pics of some of the fish that are out right now.

 

[kingfish83]

the yellow coris came out today. I thought at least he'll be hidding for a week or so. Glad to see him eat tonight.

 

[kingfish83]

If I add a Tomini tang, Naso tang, and two black and white clows. Have I reached my limit for my tank or still have some room for fish?

 

[kingfish83]

any help?

 

[kingfish83]

No one can help me with my fish stocking question?

 

[Dante_JoseCuerv]

I don't think you'll necessarily be at your limit in terms of fish, but your naso will more than definitely be limited at some point or another.

 

[kingfish83]

I'm thinking of a gold rim tang instead of a naso. I know soon or later all tangs will get to big for the tank. Also what are some cool kinda rear fish that i should get for my tank?

 

[Dante_JoseCuerv]

I think a gold-rim would work a bit better long-term. As for rear fish, what do you have in mind? I'm rather partial to fairy wrasses or cardinalfish but any smaller, colorful fish would work well, I think. Sorry if that's too vague.

 

[kingfish83]

just looking for colorful and small fish since all my large fish are done after i get the Tomini tang and glod rim tank. I just wonder how many more smaller fish i put in my tank.

 

[kingfish83]

Has anyone try their lucky with a Yellow Candy Hogfish?

 

[kingfish83]

^^^^??

 

[Dante_JoseCuerv]

I feel weird being the only one contributing here. If you're looking for small fish, how about a school of cardinals?

 

[kingfish83]

yeah its odd. Like people dont say anything to me till i do something they see wrong.

 

[Dante_JoseCuerv]

I guess so. Anyways with your current stocking I'd probably want to hold-off for a while, but I still think some cardinals would be nice. Or even some sort of basslet? A small group of chalk basslets?

 

[nikon187]

The hogfish may eat your inverts in time but is reef safe ( corals) For smaller fish I would second the fairy/ flasher wrasse idea. Flasher wrasses only obtain a max size of 2-3.5" and are great colours.

 

[kingfish83]

i could give the fairy a third try but really first try in this system. I might get a few wrasses put on my list.

 

[kingfish83]

Will i found my coris dead today after work. I guess my bad luck with wrasses continues .:hmm4:
