HD's 144 1/2 Moon

My torch is starting to grow a few more heads and one of my hammers is really taking off, if I can figure out how to safely frag those I would give you a head or 2 once we finally meet up.

Sweet! Thanks

Might have to start saving for a band saw, looks like thats the best way to frag lps.

Introduced CCB#2 into the tank last night, so far it is doing great. If it survives one week I will name him "Lucky"! Still no sign of mongo the big red legged crab. How in the world can something that big vanish! No peices parts laying around...crazy. I have spent a lot of time with a flashlight trying to find it or what's left of it.

Also introduced a diamond goby, no sign of him but I'm not to worried, I'll give him a few days.

I also decided to nix the Regal. I really dig inverts and want a clam down the road.

Looks awesome. You need some more coral haha.

 

[hdsoftail1065]

Ya, well coral is on my list! I wanted this thing to get well established first. Funny this is the fist tank that I actually took slow! Hopefully I will reap some of the rewards from doing it that way.

Could he be off molting?

 

[hdsoftail1065]

I noticed a molt a couple of days prior to his disappearance, unless he was still in the process of.

That’s been my philosophy on this one.

I think it’s paying off. Maybe another fish here and there as one dies but otherwise I’ve been stocked for a while.

Softies and zoas adding up now. Sps starting

I'm getting towards the end of my fish stocking for my tank. Moving to some inverts soon.

Right now my list is
1 Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse
1CCB
1 Blue Hippo
4 lyretail's
1 one spot foxface
1 nice glold lightning...then the other one that I call names.
1 diamond goby that likes my overflow....still there, don't ask.

Next Im looking at
1 bluestreak cleaner wrasse
1 hawkfish (any concerns with these 2 additions with what's already stocked and the list below?) I have seen hawk fish but I have never housed one.

Down the road I would like at least
1 yellow coris
1 other Wrasse, not sure which one but something that wow's my tank gawkers (open for suggestions)
And a couple of other tangs...not sure what yet (again...hit me with ideas)
Oh and that bambo shark!

Hit me with ideas my fellow reefer friends that are willing to help me spend that hard earned money.

Take a look at the Radiant wrasse and a Lineatus Fairy. The Lineatus is expensive but if found as junvenile or young male they arent as bad. Quite a stunner. The radiant would be fine with a yellow Coris.

Ive read mixed reviews on cleaner wrasse. Seems they do okay if theres a multitude of fish that allow cleaning but often times will be a bother to unwilling participants.

Thanks for looking @NY_Caveman and @Scurvy! I'm going to check those Wrasse suggestions! I love spending my wife's money! It's so exciting! Until she looks at the account.

Wrasses eat shrimps. I like shrimps.

Lol, yes some do, I like shrimps too! The most entertaining with personality is....was our cleaner.

 

[NY_Caveman]

Cleaner Shrimp are one of my favorite critters. Love watching them sway and dance on the rocks.

EXPENSIVE!!! It looks like I will admire this fish via the online pics. To Rich for my blood. Thanks for tossing it out there though.

Haha, yes i know not sure where you looked but LA or DD prices them very high. You can find young males at much more reasonable price from other places. Same with the Rhomboid. DD sells for 350. I found one for 120. Just had to be patient.

 

[Scurvy]

Not sure whats too much but they popped up tonight. Juveniles arent nearly as pricey as the supermales you see on DD.
