The 240: Out of the ashes a Phoenix shall rise...

[dantimdad]

BTW, Baby was 2" when we got her. She is now almost 5.5"! And her belly is a more pronounced yellow. Absolutely gorgeous.

I also need to rehome my large golden head sleeper. He keeps the tank too stirred up. I love having a white sandbed all the time but...

Nice to see you are about! Sorry to hear about health struggles and the loss of a family member.

Thanks bud. I appreciate you.

 

[dantimdad]

Sorry folks. I have been completely out of touch with y'all.

We had two deaths in the family, several illnesses and both boys had wrecks on the same day on the same road 12 miles apart.

This year has been tough on us.

I will update with photos soon, I promise.

Just pray for us.

Will do!

I got 12 peppermint shrimp and over 100 snails of different varieties today as well.

 

[dantimdad]

Reeftopia did well. The shrimp arrived healthy and only a couple snails are not moving yet.

I usually plan for 10% dead on snails.

Here is Jethro

I will take one tonight. I left the lights off last night after I unbagged the shrimp and stuff.

@Eagle_Steve Here ya go!

That yellow tang is one of 3 5" long ones in the 240.

To say Tiny has grown is an understatement.

I am glad tiny is happy and hated to see it go, but it couldn’t have gone to a better person!!!

Current fish list:

Tiny the Blonde Naso
3 yellow tangs
3 mimic tangs (one black)
Gorgeous the Yellow Belly Regal
Scribbled Rabbit
Golden head sleeper
Engineer Goby
Barred Dart Goby (trying to find two more)
4 Springeri Damsels (trying to find 5 more)
Pair of Stormtrooper Clowns (will move to nano in the future)
Picasso Clown (will add one after the above move)

There is over 150 snails of different species, a blood red fire shrimp, banded coral shrimp, and 2 sand sifting stars.

Several species of soft corals but that's were it stops. I am probably setting up a 20 gallon Nuvo all in one nano reef in the office after the remodel.

 

[dantimdad]

I forgot a mated pair of Molly Miller Blennies!

 

[dantimdad]

Sorry I have been gone for a bit again. I tore my calf muscle and haven't done much lately.

The fish are all fine and I am on the mend.

I will post more soon.

Hey glad to see you are still around. Glad the tank is doing well for you.

Little project on my desk at home:

It's being lit by a Kessil A160we. The tank started life as an ATO for a red sea reefer and holds 5 gallons.
Filtration will be a modded AC30 holding a small heater.

The plan is to put the rainbow anemone I have on hold at my buddy's house and my two storm troopers in it and then some zoas from another buddy. Maybe even a frag of slimer.

 

[count krunk]

I have a 10g and an ac50 I'm going to turn into a nano reef someday. This will look good!

It was a toss up between this and a rimless 10 gallon. This one fit the desk better and I like the proportions more.

I will probably have it wet this weekend. I have a new nano heater around here someplace I have to find first.

@Eagle_Steve do you have any green slimer?

@Eagle_Steve do you have any green slimer?

Not anymore. I do have some Florida stag from way back in the day (when it was legal to collect) that my dad started with. He actually still has the original colony. over the years it has become the below. Very hardy and tough. Lived through 6 tank moves, move from Florida to TN and all kind of other stuff.
also have other acros, but they are more sensitive ones.

Currently have 4 frags healing up right now. Well, what we call frags lol. Not these little nubs you get now days.
