I'm seriously happy for you getting several new things! Pics are a must!

 

[Bleigh]

Coming soon after QT involving meds and TTF: here are some pics of the fish i am getting from marinecollectors.com Elliot Lim there is good at helping with a stocking plan and QT's after he finds the fish you want, so it takes a lot longer to get what you want but the quality is beyond reproach and the shipping is via airport to airport instead of through a delivery service it is live cargo on a commercial jet. Anyway all these pics are credited to his website and the video is from his phone to mine of one of the actual fish i will be getting. He did the same system with my tang gang and they turned out great.

Angels: debated on getting these now but I am close to done with the fish stock for little while after this I will add some lyretail anthias which can be a little fiesty so don't think the angels will be an issue and also a Borbonas Anthia down the road. But if someone doesn't get along i have other tanks to move someone to that will solve that but i'm usually pretty lucky (famous last words) on the husbandry aspect of these live animal endeavors. We shall see!

Scribble: Chaetodontoplus duboulayi say that without messing up to my face and I'll owe you a dinner if we ever meet at a trade show! At the venue of your choice...but if not you pay for dinner

Venusta (us) depending on what science literature you read or what latin translation you use haha... but in the vernacular which may or may not have bastardized our language it is what it is and will go with the flow and call him/her venustus and for science Paracentropyge venusta but in my other hobby life Melopsittacus undulatus (budgerigar) is called Budgie in the vernacular or just plain ole parakeet. so please no corrections needed from any all knowing ones on the true name

Flame Angel: A good ole standby. No coral picking you little scoundrel!! or nano for you!
Centropyge loricula

Wrasses: eeks can't wait!

Rhomboid: Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis

Marshall Island Velvet: Cirrhilabrus luteovittatus

These guys get along with the other one and I really like their color. In the future id like to add an Australian Scott's Fairy.

Wow I’ve never even heard of most of those! Beautiful choices!

Any idea what these are?

 

[tdlawdo]

Stetting up my trident but the tube is so flimsy it floats or gets pushed back up to top so I came up with this idea to thread it through a feeding tube rigid straw, extended beyond the tip so as not to obstruct flow and and then had to glue the clip and the straw together without harming the trident tube. SMH! This should work!

 

[Hemmdog]

Any idea what these are?

Pineapple sponges, common in new tanks due to their love of silicates. Harmless.

 

[NY_Caveman]

They are harmless filter feeders. They come and go in a tank.

 

[tdlawdo]

Whew! Was having nightmares I did something wrong as I await the arrival of all my new goodies!!

 

[tdlawdo]

Eeks!!! They are here!!!

 

[NY_Caveman]

Have fun!
