    Hey guys, been awhile. Anyhow I got some new fish (although 2 died before =(....) They seem to be doing well, except for the orange ocel being a bit aggressive to the black/white ocel but nothing major. My light is shipping here and also an overflow (my pvc one keeps dying so im just gunna suck it up and buy one....sigh..hope the lifereef overflow is good.) Also picked up a red spotted gobi.

    good luck with these flazky. hope it all goes well. you could see that agression towards the lone ocel clown. the ole different species thing. where did you get these?

    got em at bigals. They were on sale so =p. Anyhow I was watching them for like an hour or two. The orange ocel only nips at the black/white ocel if they get too close, but other than that they seem quite fine. I thought they were of the same species, just same colour, which is why I thought it would be alrite for them to be together o.o;

    rinsed the bags, dropped the bag into the water, and then add about a quarter cup of my aquarium water in it every 15 minutes for an hour. then I scooped them in. haha I learned from my previous mistakes. the drip method wasnt really working out for me since the temp would drop quickly.

    Looking good, from what I have read the overflow should be a good one.

    Heya guys!
    Just updating my tank.
    got new lights!!! finally and a overflow.
    I suck with camera but tank looks a LOT better than pictures =(...maybe when I figure out how to use this camera hahaha
    I am actually getting a lot of small particles in my tank...think it could be from sand as my goby is really messy....any thoughts?
