I always was concerned about putting my Octo into the sump, as I had a hang off the back overflow on me. Emptied about a third of the tank. Don't want that to happen in my sump. I spilled a cup of the filth into my tank once and instantly killed three fish, and forget how many coral. Where can you drain a skimmer to when the tank is in the basement, and be able to contain about 5 gallons of water?
On a House?I voted other... I would like to buy a bigger house so I can finally buy a bigger tank, more equipment, more corals/livestock and of course more dry goods. Does anyone know where I can find that black friday or cyber monday deal?
Guess what happened, I gained a love for this fish and still have him almost 3 months later. He flashes when not stressed too!!I’m the type of guy that likes fish over expensive coral (I would spend £1,000 on a fish but not a coral if I was just going to make it go brown in my nano - I’m focusing on coral for my nano but do also look for good corals for blue lights in my 4’ tank). If I found a rare fish for a good deal then I would probably take it (Reserve it first then get it). My encounters with this were:
a £119 male swallowtail angelfish (G. melanospilos), I had credit for that and so got a discount on the fish, it totalled at £98-£100. Now this weekend I will most likely be picking up a beautiful flashing tilefish. I shrugged it off previously thinking it was a plain common one like a discoloured/stressed blue jaw. I found this week it had the yellow eye stripes and it flashed (I know it was stress) so at £108, I reserved it till next weekend and it shall be going into my large 4’ tank.
I think he was stressing due to a mystery wrasse in the tank (He was in with a female kwazlu - Seen in the photo - and a mystery).
If I won the lottery right now, I’d be getting myself some rare wrasse and gobies.
Nice!!! I agree, especially the gobies (as you know)!
If I won the lottery I would be getting a bigger house for a bigger community tank as well as a separate tank for frogfish/anglers. I love those fish as well (but don't trust them with my smaller fish)! LOL I would also make sure the house had a small hobby barn for some goats, a couple pigs, a horse and maybe a cow. If you're going to dream go big or go home. LOL Can't wait to see your griessingeri!
