    Hey guys... first post here.

    I don't have any decent pics of my female leapord wrasse (completely different color/pattern than male)... or emerald hermits.


    I'm about to come into a free 20 gallon I'm thinking of making a makeshift very basic sump/fuge... But really I just want it to get more pods for a mandarin.

    I was even thinkin about just using a HOB filter filled with 1" sand and Live Rock as a CopaPod preserve... Figured it'd be easy to just put my output nozzel from the Eheim Ecco Comfort 2236 in the hob filter instead of in the main tank, and just let gravity flow out the pods to the main tank whenever they go... Whatcha think?

    Hello and Welcome to 3reef,

    Nice tank and scape, I like the substrate.

    The name is catchy too for us old enough to truly appreciated the music.

    The Scissortail is neat...

    They also call them 'dart fish'... whenever I walk quick towards the tank he is the quickest to 'dart' into a cave... very quick when he wants to be...

    Otherwise he just kinda hangs out and swims slowly in the middle/top region.

    He's not the most active or fun fish to watch, but his shape adds a valued contrast to the rest of the fish.

    I picked up a scissortail this weekend. It has already burrowed a little tunnel underneath a large piece of LR. It's a little bigger of a fish than I thought, and it's not very colorful (as mentioned) but does have a really neat shape. He's eating well already.
