Blue-Wolf

When we move to our OWN home, and aren't sharing a house, THEN it'll be time for a party.

They do look feathery... I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

Thanks! Just have to get the Green Hair Algae out of there and she'll be good.

Well, time for more pics.

Well, been a while since I updated, but finally got some good shots of the hitch hiker. Ideas?? I'm not thinking it is a Strawberry Crab anymore... But VERY close resemblance...

That's why alot of people start with small tanks first. Alot cheaper to start up. But, they can also be a huge pain to maintain.

FINALLY got some video of my Strawberry Crab. This one was a hitchiker.

I've had the itch for years, just was scared to try it. Best advice I was given: DO NOT CHEAP OUT. TAKE YOUR TIME. DON'T RUSH STOCKING. All the investigating I did was not nearly enough compared to what I have learned. And believe me, I spent ALOT of time checking things out and planning. The tank (150g) setup as it sits today, has cost me nearly $12,000 dollars in equipment, and livestock. My smaller 34g has only cost me about $3500 so far, but nothing in it.

Quoted from WHATCANEYEDO on Canreef... Species Identified. Thanks for the help everyone.

This one was a definate hitchiker, but had to be from when the rock was introduced 2 months ago.

Thinking this is a Nudibranch of some sort, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone know what this is exactly?

Also just found a strawberry crab in my tank. Must have been a hitchiker that I never noticed until tonight. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_di...amp;pcatid=1907

I would appear that my Green Emerald Crabs have become parents. Found at least 7 babies amongst the rockwork eating algae tonight as I was doing my check for my spotted blenny. Will try to get pics if I can.

So I transferred everything to my 75g tank and added a few more pieces of driftwood. Changed the gravel, and put on a nice sump system. Pics to follow.

Nope. I used that rock in my 34.

Absolutely stunning pictures. They look amazing!

Thanks everyone. I'm not too worried about the shrimp, but if they survive, it's all good. As for the fake ornament, I had to throw something in there for a bit of contrast. Going to replace it with another piece of driftwood tho I think.

Thanks. Talked with a few people about it and finally took the plunge. Seems good tho, but I may change my sand out for something that better suits the fish/plants.

So, I decided to keep my Bowfront and do a planted tank with it. Then I upgraded and put everything in my 75g. Here is my stock list: LIVESTOCK: 2 Pearl Gourami (Top Swimmers) 8 Harlequin Rasbora (Middle Swimmers) 10 Glowlight Tetra (Middle Swimmers) 1 Pakistani Loach (Bottom Swimmers) 3 Freshwater Shrimp (Bottom Dwellers) PLANTS: Front Row - Hydrocotyle Sibthorpioides Middle Row - Cryptocoryne Beckettii Back Row - Limnophila Sessiliflora and Driftwood Pics To Follow.

Ok, so as I promised, here is my stocking list. Cove Polyps (Wild Growth) Rice Bubble (X2) Candy Coral Flowerpot Coral Red Center Zoos Green Center Zoos Mix of Pink, Orange Grey and Blue Sponge (Wild Growth) Pulsing Xenia Finger Coral Toadstool Coral Mushrooms White Magnificent Anemone 4 Sea Hare (Wild/Hitch Hikers) Turbo Snails Blue Legged Hermit Crabs Zebra Hermit Crabs 2 Green Emerald Crabs 1 Red Scarlet Crab 1 Coral Banded (Boxer) Shrimp 1 Watchman Goby/Tiger Snapping Shrimp Pair 3 Feather Duster Worms (Plus a bunch of Wild Ones) 3 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp 3 Peppermint Shrimp 1 Yellow Tang Blue Throat Trigger Pair Clownfish Pair (Nemo) 1 Regal Tang 13 Blue/Green Chromis 1 Yellowtail Blue Damsel 2 Talbots Demoiselle 2 Threespot Dascyllus 1 Spotted Mandarin 2 Blue Neon Goby

Well, here is a picture of the 150g at about 6 weeks old. This was taken during feeding time.

Thanks. Basically, a sea egg is a very short-spined sea urchin.

Everything just seems to be getting along I guess. My 34 and my 12 are not nearly as colorful and lively as the 150, even thlo they were set up at the same time. :P
