Brannon132 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi guys, So I am new to the saltwater fish tank thing. I live in Bonney Lake but the tank is at my new office in Vancouver, Wa. I am super excited to have a tank and I have probably done quite a few things wrong already, if you want to read my story I am posting it in the general discussion forum. Here are a few pics of my tank and fish.... Thanks to all of you who are a part of this and help people with your knowledge and experiances (good and bad). Brannon PS what is this brown fish called?

Derbird Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Looks like a stary blenny to me. Nice big starting tank, and I like the dramatic rock work I think we have the same light problem. Only 2/3 coverage DOH! Welcome to the forum. Lots of great and knowlageable people on here and they have been very good with my endless silly questions.

Gill Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 That is sweet!!! You did a great job picking out the rock, do you have a LFS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burningbaal Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Looking good, I'd definitely say starry blenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brannon132 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Thanks guys, we didn’t pick out the rock we just re-arranged it.... Is there a thread with acronyms and definitions? If so I could really use it because I have no idea what a LFS is....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbird Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 LFS = Local Fish Store It takes a while to learn all of the acronyms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
