Ok, since no one believed I really had a sea turtle, I guess I have to post REAL pics haha.. Here ya go.
Full tank shots:

Remnants of cyano.. aka el diablo

Tank has been up for about 3 months.. all is doing pretty well at the moment.. Have gone through a few fish, but I think I may have rushed it. Most of my frags have come from other fellow reefers, not the stores, but I still try to support them (the good ones haha) .All in all, this tank has cost me a lot of time, headaches, and money$$ and its only 29gal! I can imagine how much yalls cost you. But I think its finally getting to a good point. Hopefully! Feel free to donate to the cause! haha

Hi Mario -
Can't contribute to the cause - my son is ready to commit me if I buy another tank! The goby looks like a Diamond goby to me, altho I'm certainly no expert.
Thanks for the pictures.

I can't believe that you used to keep a sea turtle in that little tank...I'm calling PETA

no kidding that poor turtle

mario8402 · 04-10-2007, 07:16 PM

haha, i had to take it out because I didnt want the PETA police to see it

That is a Manjano am pretty sure.

Some think that they are a terrible nuisance...but I rather like mine. I have 8 or nine about my tank. They spread very slowly (mine by division)...but easy to control with Joe's Juice if they get out of hand.

My maroon clowns love them...

There must be a varity of different kinds...been in my tank couple of years now. Some probably more of a nuisance then others.

Reportedly they have a pretty hefty sting...so you want to keep an eye on...

I sure was proud of this tank when I took the pics posted above.... my tank has come a looooong way.. these are the most recent picture I have of it and probably will be the last of it looking like this since I will be moving everything shortly to my new 72gal. I forgot I even made this post

pics as of 9-3-07

Well, that sure filled out fast didn't it! Looks great (but it looked better with the turtle)

I dont have an extra holding tank so the turtle is in the toilet waiting to be moved to its new home in the 72
