If you are planning on removing the fish anyway, take them out now. Before you add more rock making it harder for you to catch them and you will save the fish from suffering through a cycle.

Thanks guys. Heres some pics from that shoot. enjoy.

As SloughShark pointed out, I havent updated this thread in ages. Been so busy lately between my carpentry job during the week, working at Red Coral on the weekend and building tank stands in whatever free time I can. So here is the requested fts. Pics were taken by a friend, Josh (JDigital).

A friend of a friend got a new HD video camera and took some footage of my tank. http://www.vimeo.com/2304609 . Enjoy :smokey:

CAS (Calgary Aquariums Society) holds monthly meetings and auctions every now and then, but the majority of the topics discussed at the meetings and items at the auction are more fresh water oriented. The only reef related gatherings(that I know of) are the all to infrequent frag swaps organized on canreef. I held one a year ago, posted it it there as well as here. The most recent swap was just a few weeks ago. It was a good time, and nice to put faces to some of the names.

Its alive!!! I too like the aquascaping. Nice job yous two. Now to fill er up :hey:

You know what I think :banned:

You can store it for as long as you want as long as it is aerated and covered. You will have to compensate for evaporation and bring up to temperature before you go to use it.

I know many people mix the two lakes with good results. But consider that comps and calvus are probably the least aggressive of the tangs. They are considered shy by cichlid standards and unless they are a comparable size to your malawis they will likely be reclusive. Oh and if you do get some, dont mix comps and calvus...there is a chance they can inter-breed.

Thanks again Shark, Im workin on it. A couple of the nicer RC colonies I brought home from the shop. The A. Lovely came with two acro crabs. One is the bandit looking one that you get pics of if you google acro crabs. The other looks different. So not sure if its an acro crab or not.It sure hasnt left the A. Lovely it came on. Gonna try and see if I can get a shot of it.Keep in mind these just spent 4 days in a bag in the dark, so obviously not fully colored back up yet.

RC :smokey:

Mmmmmmmmmmmm I love rics...very nice. Slendid dotty?

I have an opened but un-used 25lb bag you can have if you want it. I was gonna use it in my saltwater tank but decided on something coarser.

Thanks again fishy , This forum seems to be the best at finding out what to purchase as the LFS seem to each have their own ideas and products to sell even if what their selling isn't what would best suit the customer or the type of tank we have . I find that talking to other people in the hobby is the best source for info . I have been to GOLDS,ELITE,WEI'S,OCEANCITY,PISCES,RIVERFRONT just about every store in calgary and they all have their own reasons to buy their product . so I'm going to wait till the tank and stand arrive's to see how much room I have to play with . But like I said it seem's that euroreef seems to be a real favorite with a lot of people . Thank's again Another side note. I work at Red Coral aquarium. A good friend of mine bought it and recently took over. We are in the middle of a huge store clean up and re-organization. Our policy will be to provide the reefer with the most accurate advice possible, even if that means we lose a sale.
