[cich1]

10g fuge with DSB dedicated to the "sand junkie" 30#s Carib Sea agronite and calupera thanks to Zack, still want some cheato Jim. if you look to the left you can see Sally the camel shrimp serving her life sentence

[cich1]

the tank will be 6 months old next week

[upstoday]

Very nice.

[Condiman]

Very nice those yellow polyps would look great in there. BTW I see you have a Yellow clown goby right. What are you feeding him?

[cich1]

yeah i'm looking forward to adding the yellow polyps, hes a yellow watchman goby he eats whatever i feed the tank i believe in variety so i mix it up a bunch, i never see him eat much but since hes the first fish i added and hes fat and healthy i guess hes getting his share

I have a yellow and black clown goby and there some times a little pain in the you know what to feed.
but I got mine to start feeding on brine shrimp and a few drops of vita-chem.
hope this will work for you if you try.
good luck Icereefer.
P.S after I got them to eat the brine I found my mow mysis shrimp too.

very nice! I've been thinking of adding a sump, but all those tubes and wiring are intimidating to me.

[Zack]

Very nice set-up!

[cich1]

[Sugar Magnolia]

Ack!!! I can't do that! I would need someone to give me a blow by blow account with exact items to be used to plumb my 30 with a sump. I have the room under the stand for a tank, but have no clue how to plumb it. So sad.

[cich1]

theres enough of us here that would be glad to walk you through it

ya your right chic1 they do have a pretty good appetite, I could'nt find my yellow watchman goby I just got and wanted to move my tube anemone to a different part of the little cave it's in and when I pulled it from the sand and felt a bump in its tube and it felt like the shape of my watchman goby,and my watchman is gone ,,, :( here's a picture of my little fart.

[BigBill]

SOrry to hear it ate your goby :(

But your tanks are beautiful

[cich1]

wow hes cool how big is he?

[icereefer]

he's about 3 1/2 to 4" across. pink tentacle and peach center. and a fish eater.

[cich1]

mine hasn't eaten any fish yet but maybe its because i spoil him with the baster :)

[icereefer]

ya I just got mine so he probably was real hungry,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,BUT WHY my new watchman goby. :lol:

[Sugar Magnolia]

lol...why ask why icereefer! It was hungry and the goby happened to be too close. Gulp! Sorry about the goby, but it sure is a pretty anemone.

[cich1]

heres an updated pic of the refuge, i just added a JBJ 36w pc light and some cheato and racemose macro

[FishinInTheDark]

Looks nice! I almost expect to see a gourami or discus peeking around that greenery! Very clean looking!

[cich1]

lol i have to keep it clean now that the fuge sits next to the display tank, but when the fuge was in the sump where you couldn't see it man what a mess

[Sugar Magnolia]

Hey! That light is perfect over that tank. Glad it went to a good home. :)

[cich1]

i got home from work last nite and the light and macro algea for Jim was sitting there, i said woohoo and started tearing open boxes
