4’x2’x2’ build… The Dragons’ Forest

[i cant think]

If the mirror doesn’t work then temporarily separating nah is probably your only option. Ryan’s acclimation boxes certainly work well it seems.

Well, Regal seems to be leaving her alone now.
The Foxface however is looking as though he’s showing dominance as well. Although it’s a lot less ‘aggressive’ (It’s more just a casual chase and then leave her alone).

My only big worry currently is the wound on her head, any ideas what Brookyllena looks like other than loss of scales?

Hopefully thats just bullying. After what Ryan said yesterday has me very scared too though.

When I watched her yesterday she didn’t show any signs of disease so I’m hopeful but it is now scaring me with the 3 angels being top for most expensive fish I’ve ever owned.

By far, the best photo yet (although it’s only day 1 or 2 depending when you start the days from). So here’s her true colours - Centropyge bispinosa Mauritian Var.

Definitely got some alarms ringing with 14 fish

Imagine how they’d feel knowing this girl thrives in a tank with only about 30lbs of rock (possibly less).

Beautiful tank!

Quick question for ya. I’m about to start up a similar footprint. How much rock do you estimate is in there? Trying to avoid a tank packed full of rock.

Seems I missed this somehow but I’d say there’s about 40lbs of rock.

I have 21 in a smaller tank . Though my average fish is significantly smaller.

Yeah, 21 in your tank makes somewhat sense as most of them stay in the 3-4” range. Mine however vary from 7” to 3”.

Just wanted to show what I got up to this evening, decided to merge my 3 cacti and 1 of my succulents together into a mini arrangement for the table, by far the nicest way I’ve ever presented these plants.

And a quick photo of what those tiny bright green juvenile wrasses turn into 3-4 years down the road! Look how gorgeous he is, he has to be 5-6” currently.

Purely because I’m in love with this here’s some photos from the edge of the pot, wish I picked up some of the Frailea cacti I saw earlier as they were a gorgeous deep purple.

That is a level or artistry I do not have

I’m sure you can do this! All you need is a selection of succulents then put them into an arrangement how you like with sand and similar coloured rocks ontop!

I will say, being bitten by that clown several
times came in handy though! That golden barrel cactus is horrible to hold even with a cloth.

 

[Slocke]

I’m sure you can do this!

I present my two year old herb garden…

Saying that I miss aquascaping. I’m annoyed I skipped it on my first tank as I enjoyed it so much on my second.

I love this time of the evening as the light hits just right in the tank and if I’m lucky I get a good shot of the Sally Lightfoots colouring.

 

[Miami Reef]

Wow it looks like a moth!

He does!
I love his green barring on the back, it glows so much more under blues.

If it works it works, and we won’t let others say otherwise

Nice Coral Beauty btw didn’t take you as a CB kinda guy but he looks lovely. Hopefully he gets accepted and heals up.
