Pickupman66's 180 gal Glass box - Update for July 2013

Very nice additions to the new tank.....I love the purple tang, they are beautiful fish.

 

i would say well worth the trade on the bicolor...
also, that scroll coral is totally awesome!!!

 

Yea we had a purple in our last tank. Loved that fish. we had it for at least 6 years. I cried when I had to sell it.

 

WHat a difference 24 hours makes without the angel. EVERY single coral in the tank is looking better. all showed signs of polyp extension with the stylopora in full bloom! this is a frag from the mother in my old tank, so I know what it looks like when happy. it almost looks better in this tank than my old one. a beautiful deep purple polyp tips with a hot pink body. ill get some photos tomorrow if I can. im fighting a microbubble issue right now so the rocks are a little bubbly.

We also recieved 25 hermits and 80 miniature cerinth snails from Reefcleaners.com! all arrived in GREAT SHAPE and were out and scurrying around quickly. as of lights out, almost all had at least moved. in a few months, I plan to order another 25 crabs and maybe 100 more of these tiny little buggers.

 

So he finally took the bait huh? Congrats P.

 

YUP. She actually caught him twice sunday night but he escaped cause I was not there to help her get him out.

 

Sweet. Can I use her services to catch my green serpent starfish who's eating my new additions.

 

nope. just make you a trap out of a coke bottle. make the hole small enough for him to fit in there and put a silverside or something in there and wait for him to come and get it. they are nocturnal, but if you put the trap by his hole, surely he will come out and go in there to eat it. SIlversides are good cause they are stinky and oily.

 

looking good !
