special juice's 240 gallons of FOWLR glory!- Not so FOWLRish anymore!

New pics!

As promised here are some pics taken just moments ago:

Yesterday I acclimated "The Blueman Group" to the tank:


In my 76g QT- Blonde Naso Tang and Desjardini Sailfin Tang:


In my 20g long QT- Yellow Eye Kole Tang: (Hard to get a good photo-very skiddish.)


I finally got a decent shot of my Coral Beauty:


And an FTS showing about 3/4 of the inhabitants: (There are currently 13 fish)

 

beautiful special! what time of chromis are those? they are so cool looking!! love the name you've given them

 

Thanks for the kind words, OFK. They are Blue Reef Chromis (Chromis Cyaneus). I had never seen them after 5 years in the hobby until a LFS in my area had this group. The owner said he had them for a couple of months and that no customers were interested in them because they weren't familiar with them. Needless to say, I got a good price and I think they will add a high level of activity to the tank.

 

I've not come across them either. Great pick up! Love their colors.

 

I'm very happy with their color. The dark blue looks very luminescent under my AI Sols.

 

awesome.. they will look so nice in that beautiful tank

 

Thanks, Chris! I can hardly wait to get the tangs in the tank. BTW, did anyone notice the Coraline algae I've finally got going. I have dark red, green and purple. I'm very excited. It's amazing how quickly it happened.

 

Funny that I posted that photo of my 3 Chromis today. Look what just came up on Diver's Den! Drs. Foster and Smith Diver's Den® - Chromis cyaneus

 

I woke up the other day and noticed that the smaller of my two clowns was missing. I thought that my squirrelfish was probably the culprit. I didn't even think to look in the overflow chamber since the only way he could enter it would be through the tiny openings that allow the water to flow in. While doing a water change I got a flashlight and sure enough, there he was. I put a small net in and he just swam right in. I was glad to not lose a fish!

 

beautiful new fish and congrats on finding your clown, must be a relief
