New light and fish

Posted 07-24-2009 at 10:08 AM by Beaun (65 Gallon Mixed Reef (Former Temperate System))

Got my fish (two black ocellaris) and the feet and acylic shield for my light. So I set up the light and put it on the tank. Two more T5's makes a surprising difference, also that there are individual reflectors on the Tek light. The clowns look really good two. They are both juvies, so it's more like a bonded pair than a mated pair. But in time one will be the dominate female. Thats the update, hoping to have pictures soon (keep saying that).

Inverts are in

I received my order from reefclearns.org. It was shipped from Florida this morning and I got it this afternoon in New York, amazing. Everything looks great. The Pencil Cap macros are very cool looking, and my penny macro (random macro for .01) was Red Gracillaria and looks good in the corner of the tank.

New Rock Added

Well I picked up my live rock off of a local reefer who was moving. I ended up with about 60-65 lbs at $3/lb. They were very nice pieces, some really large ones and some smaller ones gave me good options as to how to aquascape. I have a nice layout now and dropped in two frags from my brothers tank (green monti, red monti and pink star polyps), both frag rocks are doing great.

The live rock came with some mushrooms and a few zoos on them already. There are a good amount of brittle...

Switching to Reef

Posted 07-16-2009 at 05:43 AM by Beaun (65 Gallon Mixed Reef (Former Temperate System))

I've decided to make the switch to a reef. I found someone on the island that was selling for $3.50. Yesterday I emptied out most of my local rocks and fish. The only fish I kept was the chalk bass I had purchased, the two remaining Mummichogs and a Sergeant Major went to my nephews tank for them to enjoy. The crabs and rocks went back into the bay. Saturday I will be getting the new live rock and Monday reefcleaners.org will be sending out my order for a new CUC.

As far as new corals...
