Baby hippo and some clowns going into QT. Thinking about now setting up a bigger QT for bigger fish and able to QT fish two tanks at a time.

Very nice lagoon..

Thanks buddy!


I used my kids college savings and bought a small fortune of corals that will be arriving early next week. Can't wait to get those in, have them color up and start fragging and framing!

Also... there's a chance I could get my hands on a show size Aussie Harlequin Tusk. Been looking for a true show size for a while that is at least 10+". Fingers crossed!

Oh and I didn't really use my kids savings for the corals, that was used on the display tank.

My oldest daughter wanted to help with the plumbing! Pretty sure I got her hooked and she's going to be a reefer for sure. However, this is what she came up with. Hummm

I forgot to post these guys that are in QT. Always wanted a clown trigger and figured I'll start off small so it takes a while before he turns into a jerk. Once that happens he can spend his days in the basement lagoon or the other 300 gallon. The other is a juvi imperator angel which is also one of my favorite fish and I'm obsessed with angels.

Trying to move the tank today.

To my surprise I forgot zoas, horseshoe crap, feather dusters, snails and conches. All alive with no flow and the water is 60 degrees. Can believe how resilient these animals are.

 

[VelasCorals]

Tank finally empty and ready to move. Went through all the sand so no hermit crap was left behind!

 

[VelasCorals]

First shipment of corals arrive!

 

[VelasCorals]

One of my favorite parts of keeping a marine tank is photographing it!
