A Two Headed reef, The Tale Thereof

Recommended Posts

Here are my current tank mates. I also still have my true lemon peel angel and there's a yellow tail damsel in there I'm hoping will continue to be friendly (fingers). Have a blue linkia, sand-sifting star, and a reddish serpent star. I think I'm about maxed on fish? (sad) I'll try to break out the tripod get get a full tank shot, but my corals are not that impressive, slow growing. Still need lots of color, zoos, rics, more LPS which are all lacking in variety.

Ron' date=' what is the 4th picture of. I blends in so well I can't tell what it is. Thanks!!![/quote']

I think you're referring to the scooter blenny. My wife picked him out "'cuz he's so cute". He poops like a rat. He eats like a rabbit. He was showing off when I was taking pictures. They pop their fins up to make them look bigger and more fierce. He changes color with a lighter body and purple face at times, to darker splotches to a whiter face.

Your community is looking very nice. Yah, that is a scooter blenny also called a scooter dragonet. They are awesome little fish and love to show off. I loved mine!

 

Have you thought about switching to Metal Halides? I know you are currently running VHO lighting, and it does a good job, but Metal Halides will really make those colors pop and will help tremendously with growth.

Yeah, I'd like to try temporarily mounting a trial set above and see how they looked compared to 4 VHO, (2 blues, 2 50/50) if somebody has some laying around collecting dust. I doubt 1 450 watter would do it, so likely 2 over a 6' tank? Sounds like a fun project with dark beer involved (nutty)(naughty). I'd have to figure out a taller hood somehow since mine is low clearance. And chiller? I'm running from about 78-81F or so without a heater plugged in.

The Tank looks awsome Ron, I would have to agree with Garrett on the Halide's they are awsome for light, growth, and color. The Clown is still doing great he is a very comical fish he loves his annemene so much he rarely leave even to feed. He always has some part of his body touching it lol. I hope everything keeps going well for you! Thanks again for the clown, and let me know how everything is doing... After a little while I will probably be able to get you some more frags of stuff if you are looking or wanting something.
