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

SO.. we are dipping all Acros in Bayer. some of them I will be forced to remove the whole rock and dip it. thats ok with me. what has to be done. I have also ordered Zeovit Flatworm treatment. It does not kill the worms, but it strenthens the acro immune against them. it is in tank, and invert safe. it will be here tuesday I hope.

 

Tank is looking amazing but sorry for your worm issues.

 

Yeah good luck with the FWs. Little *******s trying to ruin all that hard work!

 

OK. HAPPY HAPPY PRETTY PRETTY time again. Top down shots. these are ok. I still had a bit of water movement with the sump on but everything else was off except my naso who kept making ripples.

The Zoa garden. good perspective of its size.






one of my favorites. Look at that tiny pretty one near the top. its hidden

 

new friend added last night..


Already eating Cyclopeze and frozen mysis. will feed Rods to the tank tonight shortly after his release from the acclimation box. I made this out of a cheap critter keeper. it works SUPER well and gives all the current fish a good chance to see their new tank mate.

 

Kemper. He was let out just a few mins ago. I'd say it was 36 hours. Nobody in the tanknpaid attention sobinfelt it was safe. Lil guy has been free for 30mins now and ate really good on frozen mysys and rods food. He is now scouring the rocks looking for treats. Very active lil fish. My angel gave him some dirty looks and the clowns cowered in their corner. Other than that, no other reactions.





Clowns cowering. The little male was truly frightened. Momma had to come protect. No aggression and I didn't see eggs.

 

I still love those zoas. You worried about your clams with the new fish?

 

Ingtar, if u are ever in my area you are welcome to harvest some. As for the clam, yea a little. Just keep a good eye on it. Its about 7-8" or so and hopefully being a little fish he will leave it alone. Time will tell. If I do have an issue ill have to remove the clam causebi can actually catch it.

 

I'm thinking of adding one now myself since all my clams are dead from a mystery bud. Just worried about my euphilia and bubble coral a bit.

As for next time I'm in Tennessee... I have only been there once and that was in transit from the Keys to Montana.

 

Nice addition Pickup. I miss my CBB. Good thing he's eating also.
