nhowe Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hello Everyone I am very new to the site. Wish I would have found this site when I started in the hobby. Would have been awesome to get advice. I've had my 75 gallon up and running for about a year now and a half now. I've put a lot of work into it. I have to move closer to family which is about 10 states away. So all the liverock and livestock are for sale. I am keeping the tank because I like the hobby. There is about 70 lbs of LR that does have some soft corals attached. Nothing fancy some zoas/palys, couple mushrooms, and some starburst polyps. I'm not looking to get rich, $200 for all the rock and coral. Had it posted on C(nutty)-list and all I was getting was spammers and people demanding fish with my rock still sitting in the tank. I just want all the stuff to go to a good home. I'd like to sell the livestock after the rock is out. Again not looking to get rich. $75 for all of the livestock. I'll list it all out below and try to post pics. I think I have it figured out. 1- Algae Blenny 1- Diamond watchman goby 1- Bengal Cardinal 1- small goby, not sure what it is. Don't see it much 1- Foxface 1- Cooperband 1- rather large tube annemone. Purple tentacles, bright green center 1- decorator crab. Hasn't caused any problems and had him about a year. bunch of hermits a few snails. two large electric blue hermits that have taken over turbo snail shells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyInside Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Interested in the copperband. Pm me price please. And picture if you have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhowe Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yeah, I'll try and get some good pics tonight. Lights are set to when I'm off work. Turn on at 4:30pm and run till 12:30am Diamond watchman has tons of personality. Always remodeling his home in the substrate, tries using hermits to stabalize the walls. Its hilarious.

johnnyrm33 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Sounds good. I'll take them pending pics :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhowe Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Here is an update of photos I was looking at the goby pic and I'm not sure if it's a diamond watchmanDOH!. Somebody check it out and let me know or confirm what it is. All pics were taken with an iphone so quality is better a little farther back. Tried to get an upclose of the tube anemone but it didn't turn out very good. Other pics look decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpd4308 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Sent you an email on CL. I am still interested in the copperband when you get the rock sold. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhowe Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Doug Thanks for the tip on pnwmas. Good to hear that you still want the copperband. Lots of interest on that fish. I've heard they are hard to keep. But I've had no problems with this one. Awesome fish. CL was a joke trying to sell the LR and fish. Just a bunch of spam and jerky people sending offers of five dollars or wanting to trade me their x-box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyrm33 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 That looks like a watchman to me. It looks exactly like the one they have on liveaquaria.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of dedicated aquarists here and all around good people too. Hopefully you stick around the site until you get your new system setup. Hopefully you get that rock sold soon I have some aptasia for that copperband to dine on....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one gets the job done pretty well. I would suggest buying some aptasiaX for 15 bucks and killing off any large aptasia first. He didn't seem to go for large aptasia in that tank. He will take care of any smaller stragglers you might have missed and stop them from regrowing which was the problem I had when just using aptasiaX. I'll definitely stick around the site and post pics when up and running again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyrm33 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Is the tube anemone peaceful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhowe Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Is the tube anemone peaceful? That really depends how ignorant your fish are, and the color of tube anemone. I had a white tentatcled with a maroon center tube anemone and it killed a dragon goby (Hated the fish anyway, made a mess of the tank). I couldn't fault the anemone much because it was almost the same color as the substrate. I think the fish had a hard time noticing it at first. So I got rid of the white tube anemone. (booboo) This one has not caused me any problems. Its also dark purple with a bright green center. I've had it about a year. I feed it regularly about twice a week with frozen brine shrimp. It also loves the sinking pellet food(huh). I have fed it those little frozen silver sides but likes the shrimp better. I still cannot honestly say that it wont kill any fish. My fish swim pretty close to it but they somehow know not to touch the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyrm33 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Perhaps I'll have to keep it kinda by itself in the tank just in case. Have you had any buyers on your rock yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhowe Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Tube anemone will be fine with your fish as long as you keep it out of their direct swimming paths. I keep mine in the front left corner of the tank. That way it's easy to feed and my fish also have to be trying to get tangled up with it. I really don't worry about it. No hits on the LR yet. I would like to get that out of the tank soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyrm33 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I wish you the best of luck. I definitely want the watchman and anemone. I could use about 10-20 more lbs of rock myself. What region is yours from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyrm33 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I forgot you had pics up that show the rocks. Not really anything that matches with my tank. I'm not too sure I'll be buying "used" live rock anymore. I just found out the live rock I got from someone has bristle worms in it, and from what I've read, they're less than desirable to have in a tank.

nhowe Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 I don't really think that it really matters where you get the rock. I pulled my rock straight out of LR tank at Hollywood Aquarium in Lake Oswego and I noticed that there are a couple bristle worms around. I ask Ernie at Hollywood about them and he didnt say they were bad as long as they weren't taking over the tank. I then asked Travis at Upscales in Tualatin. He told me the same thing. As long as you don't over feed they should not be a problem. They eat left over food and help clean up dead waste. Lots of stuff comes on live rock that seems pretty much dead. I'll post a pic. The colony of palys on the right side of the pic started from one polyp that started from the live rock. I could scrape them out of there but they are kinda cool to watch. Each polyp is about the size of a quarter and they act like venus fly traps completely enclosing food. I've even seen one eat a small bristle worm.
