MarvinsReef 90g Clownfish & Anemone Tank...

Marvin - looking nice!

Yeah I love my Pair of Lineatus and 4 Flame's - they add a TON of character to the tank.
With the Borbonius, and a few other fish, it makes for a cool assortment of colors and personalities.

I have been thinking about adding a nice Labouti and another unknown wrasse that I haven't decided on yet.

Are your Flames totally cool with you you go into the tank? Mine eat from my hands, cruise around my hand and check me out if I have the camera in there and everything else. It is definitely cool. My Scotts would freak out if I went near the QT tank - he didn't make it of course.

I'll have to make a video like you did one day.

Thanks Chad... they are definitely a lot of fun to watch... they all swim in the open and most don't mind my hand in the tank when I'm working on the tank... I don't put my hands in the tank when I feed... I mix the food in a container and use a syringe type thingamajig to squirt the food in the tank... Lineatus are definitely a must in a F&F tank... they just add so much color... Scott's are really aggressive so I will pass up on them and they lose most of their bright colors over time... Laboutei's are also kinda mean and I see a little conflict with the body type and coloration being similar with the Lineatus... for me, I chose the Rhomboids to compliment the Lineatus and HI Flames... I've owned both a nice male Scott and Laboutei in the past...

Thanks...

I have the dial almost all the way for the MP40 already... it does move the water pretty well but some of the back area, I see dead spots... well see though... I might just play around with the location of the MP40 to see it it makes a difference... I have it on reefcrest mode...

water change done 09-05-09... about 20g worth... I'm gonna do another one this week... sometimes, I get into a mode where I do water changes for 3-4 weeks in a row... I'd like to think that this improve my water quality, therefore making my corals and fishes happier...

although now, the cost is multiplied by 3-4x from my previous tanks... LoLz....


btw, I will be pickin' up a nice Lineatus this Friday... yay!!! not a SuperMale but a nice young male... I didn't wanna go through the Crazy Rhomboid phase again.... Rambo was a stud that he went crazy everytime he saw his reflection on the glass... I'm glad he's toned down now... I'm hoping the Lineatus won't go crazy since he's not a stud/SuperMale yet.... btw, I just made up the "stud" phase... it's the phase between adult male and SuperMale... hahaha...

and just another vid of the harem..

Hey marvin very nice tank.

Are all of your McCoskers male? I have been trying to get some females but they seem harder to get then the males.

not atm Ricky... I haven't really been doing much with the tank... adding here and there... still having issues with the bubble algae and I haven't been on top of it as much as I should be... hopefully, I'll get it all situated during the winter so I can start adding some more colorful corals in the tank...

WOW!! Dont know if i can come up with anything better to say. So, I'll say it again WOW!!!

Thank you...
