NeveSSL's 180g Mixed Reef

[NeveSSL]

Thanks, disappointed about the blonde but, things happen.

I hear ya, man. I ordered a desjardini months ago, but they didn't even ship it out because they didn't look good. I appreciated them not sending fish in bad condition, but it was still a bummer.

Nice white tail man. I've always wanted one but could never fork out the cash for one! Hope it does well for you.

I know a guy that can hook you up... haha! I could never pay Live Aquaria's price for one ($200 to $400... eek!!!), but I was finally able to find one at a good price. Pacific East had some recently for $150, which isn't too bad, either. I'm hoping it does well! So far, so good. :) The whitetail and the purple are hanging out with one of the tiny blue hippos in the 40g for now. There are 4 tangs in a 40g... but only until Monday and two of them are smaller than clownfish. Haha!

They showing any aggression with each other?

 

[NeveSSL]

Not that I've seen yet. They're all hanging out together in a corner for now, except for one of the hippos is in the opposite corner... I hope just because he wants to and not because he was chased there by either of the much larger tangs. Haha!

Just realized how FAT my magnificent foxface has become!

I think feeding the anthias 3 times a day has really helped him bulk-up, too. Haha!

Fatty foxy. Awesome! Good luck with all the tangs. Sounds like you're doing things in the right way!

Awesome fish Bueller, your fish list is going to be very nice one you get everything in.

Trying to! It was really hard to not put the whitetail in the display, but I resisted... for now... :)

Hope so, man! That's definitely the idea!

Deud!!! Loving the white tail!!!!

 

[NeveSSL]

Thanks, man! Me, too! I can't wait to get him in the display.

Grabbed some pics of the purple tang today, too. Please ignore the algae. :bowl:

These tangs also look great. Love it!

I got one small reef-related item for Christmas... a Flipper aquarium cleaner. HOLY CRAP. These things are AWESOME! If you do not have one, get one. My mag floats will be converted to other useful things (probably an algae clip... haha!). :)

I will probably soon have a new FTS thanks to the now-clean glass. Haha!

Same here Brandon!!!! The Flipper is incredible

Josh was just telling me about The Flipper today. Looks like I'm going to have to get one of these soon.

Cracking tank!! Have really enjoyed reading it from the start, when do you plan on putting the tangs into the DT?

Did you get one for Christmas, too? Or did you already have one? I will certainly be using these going forward!!!

Its an awesome tool, Dave. It will pretty much scrape anything off without scratching the glass. Perfect.

Thanks for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll be putting the tangs into the DT when I get the other two in so they all go in at once. :)

Here's a basic (and cropped... lol) FTS:

Now that I have a flipper and my glass is actually clean, I hope to post more of these. :)

Coming along nicely Brandon.

 

[NeveSSL]

Thanks, BK!

I got the Flipper for Christmas.

 

[NeveSSL]

Awesome, Ryan. Its probably one of my favorite presents I got this year.

Tonight I modified my third and last LED for dimming. I forgot a step, which made it infuriating to troubleshoot. About drove me crazy, especially since I'm also sick at the moment. I eventually figured it out, only to rebuild part of it backwards and it still not work. Just about blew a fuse on that one. :bowl:

I need to check my water params tonight, but I believe I will tomorrow. I'll be cleaning the garage if all goes well, anyway.
