mister crabs Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 if you go over the pass and take the salem route when you get into salem one of the first exits is lancaster.....get off there and go north (i believe) and the CRPC is a few miles up on your left.....near a wendys if i remember correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCR Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 when you see quisnos, just north of the Arco station, turn there. and yes it is North Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael7979 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Those are good directions to CRPC, north on Lancaster for a few miles, then when you leave CRPC head south on Lancaster til you get to State St. and turn right(west), follow that about mile and a half down to the corner of 17th and State(Arco station on one corner and King dounuts on the another). Ryans is on the NE corner there. Both place are like 3 miles away from each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Fly, you should look into getting some nice Wrasses, like scotts fairy from holmes reef! If I could find one it would be in my tank. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=463869 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly guy Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Thanks everybody...i have considered making it exclusivley a wrasse tank actually Here are all of the wrasses that are defintely compatible with a BB system.......there are many more NOT listed here(and more than half of these are unavailabe to the trade)....but nobody can argue that any of these couldnt do well in a BB system. Cirrhilabrus Fairy Wrasses of this genus are composed of approximately 42 species. They are distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific with most coming from the western Pacific. Males are usually larger than females and mostly differ from females in coloration. Males usually live with several females and juveniles. They make good reef aquarium inhabitants if supplied with ample crevices and caves. They don't bury themselves in the sand at night, as do many other wrasses. Instead, they form a mucus cocoon similar to some parrotfishes and/or wedge themselves into a rock crevice. It should be noted the cocoon remnants do not seem to harm water quality or other aquarium inhabitants. They feed on small crustaceans and are among the most beautiful of marine aquarium fishes, especially the male Scott's wrasse, C. scottorum. However, they are jumpers and the aquarium top should have some sort of cover, possibly an eggcrate cover, to prevent them from jumping out of the aquarium. C. adornatus C. aurantidorsalis C. balteatus C. bathyphilus C. blatteus C. claire C. condei C. cyanopleura C. earlei C. exquisitus C. filamentosus C. flavidorsalis C. joanallenae C. johnsoni C. jordani C. katherinae C. katoi C. laboutei. C. lanceolatus C. lineatus C. lubbocki C. lunatus C. luteovittatus C. marjorie C. melanomarginatus C. morrisoni C. punctatus C. pylei C. randalli C. rhomboidalis C. roseafascia C. rubrimarginatus C. rubripinnis C. rubrisquamis C. rubriventralis C. sanguineus C. scottorum C. solorensis C. temminckii C. tonozukai C. walindi C. walshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Sweet, now Im definately going to have to come take a look when you get that setup done. I know we talked about the whole bb/substrate compatability thing in a previous thread so Im not going to beat a dead horse, but have you ever seen them actually burry themselves in the substraite? I for one cannot ever find my wrasse when it comes night time, I think I need a mini submarine with a mini camera I can navigate around in there.... With the pumps off of course LOL.

Nyles Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 As far as cover, I have a canopy and I use gutter guard near overflows and edges of the tank. $2 easy fix, I have never had a jumper make it past the screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly guy Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Ive had a six line forever........in a canopy and eurobracing...im not intending on doing anything different... that should be enough no?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I usually screen off the back, just as a precaution. My blue tang likes to get some serious air. http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n184/nyleswright/Reef%20Tank/tankr1033.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbrownies Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Ive had a six line forever........in a canopy and eurobracing...im not intending on doing anything different... Should be enough, I don't think they are jumpers. They mostly swim around in the rocks and in caves looking for worms and pods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I love the anthias but I have so far had ZERO luck with them, I've tried Leer tail & Dispar and non made it longer then a month and that is with feed twice a day. I've heard a lot of recomendation for Lubbock's Fairy Wrasee, you can keep them in schools and they are quite hardy and they will eat the paristites off your corals. I'm trying to find some but having a hard time so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly guy Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 well..........i WENT shopping Had the pleasure of meeting both Ryan at Advanced and Jason at CRPC. Didnt get the fish i was hoping for.............i DID end up getting another 6 line......i couldnt help it....... and I LOVE the one ive got and I really need a couple of fish in that tank as it is too fricken sterile at the moment. The six line is a sweet fucntional fish although i know i just limited myself on a few of the other wrasses i was considering adding........ I picked up a cool looking yellow and pink psuedo as well. Both fish I picked up at Advanced along with a california tort, a sweet acro and some nice caps. Ryan took care of me well and I thank him. Jason didnt have anything in the way of fish that i was interested in BUT he DID have a bunch of other treats i was VERY interested in. Thanks a TON Jason Ill go into more detail on that in the CRPC forum(clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Glad to hear, 6-line is always a solid easy to keep choice and there is nothing wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
