It is not very often I get angry at things in the tank, fish trap soaking, I just watched the aip file fish hit this so hard there were tentacles wafting off with the flow, torch now in the puddle.

Scopas tangs interactions, the rescue is mostly in the cube, the yellow is still being a prima Donna!
The rescue has figured out feed times so pops in at around the right time, I keep a pot of flake on the light, guard lifted and she took it from my fingers, other fish although hiding will have seen this, slow progress! :)

Just because. :)

I think he or she needs a bigger home, somewhere a little north of you.....

Hey Nager!
I was cruising through your thread and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the great
photo's. I'm sure you discussed it before somewhere in your thread, but curious if your shooting underwater or through the glass? Also, what kinda camera are you using?

Beautiful

Thanks, hopefully it won't come to that, the only friction now is between the yellow and the rescue, firstly as I mentioned before I should have moved the rescue in when it was smaller and secondly I believe it is a pecking order thing as the yellow is number two.
I think it is a she, it's not much smaller than the S scopas and if it was a male I think it would have been sushi by now. ;)
The baby has been in and out of the display a lot recently but not more than about 9 inches from the swim through, today it has ventured into open water and it's only issue is the flame angel that basically herds it back into the cube like a sheep dog! :rolleyes:
Excuse the water, engineering work in progress!

Thanks and welcome, I shoot through the glass using a Nikon 5600 and one of three lens', Nikon 40 mm macro, Nikon 16 - 35 zoom or Tamron 90 mm macro. :)

Thanks, my oldest lps except the rasta lobo (it is fine in the puddle btw just very yellow / slightly bleached?) but I don't really remember. ;)

I need to check my fish foods, I swear they have caffeine in them! ;)

Wel that explains it. :) The best camera I have is my cell phone... I was sure hoping you were shooting with that and it was just some secret setting I hadn't yet discovered.

I floated away on a river of face, through the gap and over the waterfall to see what was on the other side!



Well that is sort of what happened some time early last year!
My previous tank was a custom all in one 170 litre shallow.

(Lets clear this up here lol, 170 litre is approx. 40 odd US gallons, I am from England so I will probably us litres more! ;) )

I got to day dreaming on a very chilled out afternoon and decided to upgrade.
Problem 1, I couldn't bare to strip the 170 down.
I also love fragging and trying coral rescues so I needed a "playroom" as well as a display so the tank measures 165 x 65 x 45 cm shallow plus sump with a full glass divide at 100 cm that splits the tank in 2 but there is a 7 cm swim through in the divide and both ends have their own overflows and returns.



I will add details as I remember, don't hold your collective breaths!
So basically the new display is 300 litres / 75 G and I just transplanted the 170 in with a bit more rock and tried to get a similar scape!

Just to confuse things more there are 2 fts of the display end!
If you picture a view from the front, my right elbow can touch the front left corner of the tank from my desk chair so the main scape and fts is an end view but had to try and get the front view nice (to my eyes) too.
Desk view from last weekend.



Front, same weekend.



This runs 2 heaters and 2 return pumps in the sump, no socks or floss, no skimmer, no reactors, just a refugium and 4 trays of mineral mud.

More of a coral person than a fish person and I love my creatures!
I will try and add a bit more info soon.

Oh and I love taking pictures! :)



Last fts of the 170. :)

Beautiful pics

I am going to try and remember to do this, sometimes I delete all the pics which leaves an empty folder, I delete the folder and that means the view defaults to the next folder, I will put the date and display a pic from the folder.
07/10/20 (UK date format)

You can get good shots if you have a newer phone and they have clip on macro lens and other lenses for your phone now which is a total game changer. Look at moment macro lens on youtube!

Serious, I hate being so "available", I let my main phone go flat a lot, my second phone is always charged as I piggy back off it for the laptop, Zoe is the only one that has the number! ;)

Taken in the puddle, the urchin let go of this ball of C. brachypus today, the tangs and fff loved it, about golf ball sized. :)
