NoobtoSalt Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Woody is going to let me get in store credit for it. Going to take it back tomorrow after work if possible. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 just added some more live rock. No pictures for a little while though. Still not sure how I want to rockscape the tank. I'm going to be adding about another 50lbs or so in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Got my light fixed today. One of the ballasts was bad. All 12 bulbs fire up and work great now. Thanks again goes to wegotis! I added some anthias the other day from OIAB as well. Once the tank gets cleaned up I will take some pictures and post them. I've been out of town for half the week so it doesn't look great right now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramy Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Looking good, been wondering how this tank had been doing =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Just got some yumas, spine urchin, and a red linkia. Pictures to come in a few days Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Alright well no pictures of the yuma but I stopped into Barrier Reef's 5th anniversary sale and snagged this little guy. I've been going back and forth on doing one so I decided to swing a smaller one to see how they like the flow. Better pictures to come when the tank is cleaned up a bit.

NoobtoSalt Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Been over 24 hours and the new addition is eating like a pig in the tank, and knock on wood no ich on him so far.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 I should have known better...DOH!!! This might end up being just a huge reef tank with no fish at this point. At least I have my corals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbird Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I should have known better...DOH!!! This might end up being just a huge reef tank with no fish at this point. At least I have my corals. Oh (censored), sorry to see that buddy. This is why I'm terrified to get more tangs (scary) such awesome fish but the Ich..........

NoobtoSalt Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 He didn't make it....(sad) I'm trying to get ahold of barrierreef to see if they have any sort of fish guarantee. Most shops down here do so I really hope that his shop does as well. I was hesitant on buying this fish as it was at the time but couldn't resist. I guess I should have known better....(sad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewey McLovit Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Sorry to hear!! Hope the rest of the tank is healthy enough to not get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Well just an update. Barrier Reef although it was past their typical fish guarantee he's willing to give me half credit for the fish. Great company to deal with. He very well could have just told me I was out of luck. Here are some updated pictures of my tank. My wife decided to add some holiday cheer to the bottom of the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramy Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Lookin good, really gives some perspective on just how long that tank is. That light is realy cool how many t-5s does it have in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That light is realy cool how many t-5s does it have in it?[/quote'] It "only" has 12 bulbs...(laugh) It's 12 39w 3ft bulbs. I'm going to probably add some more rock at some point in time but at the moment I'm kind of liking the open area of the tank. I still think I will change things a bit but we will see.

Gill Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 How are the other fish doing? Hopefully it was just the Achilles to come down with it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 How are the other fish doing? Hopefully it was just the Achilles to come down with it :( All of my other fish are happy and healthy. I just never seem to have any luck with fish. I'm going to stick with basic fish for the next year or so. Probably get some medium to large fish. No XXL like I was thinking for the time being. I kind of want them to grow into the tank, not already be grown for the tank. I'm probably going to get about 20-30 chromis at some point as well. I really just want some more movement in the tank. As it is I only have the eel (which I'm taking out in the next few days), Scopas Tang, Tomini Tang, and a Coral Beauty Angel. Kind of sad when that's all I've got in a 240. I don't even know what all I've lost in this dumb tank so for...DOH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'm glad to here the other fish are doing well, now I know why they call those tangs Ick magnets. A banana wrasse is a hardy fish that will give you lots of motion and color. I always wanted one but they get to big, plus I think they probably eat inverts. You can get them around three inches so that might be a good option? Their are also some really cool groupers that can be hardy and start out small. I always wanted a panther grouper but they can be hard to get started and get pretty ugly when full grown. Sounds like you might just end up with a monster reef, which would also be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought about doing away with most of the remaining zoas and LPS I have and doing some really cool angels but I just can't break down and sell off the rest quite yet.

Gill Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Angels would be awesome!!! I have always wanted a emperor but they do eat zoos and I think they can be a little tricky to keep. What about triggers? They are very hardy although I guess they can get really mean. You could totally get a small clown trigger though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 New additions thanks to Robert(ReeFit) at OIAB 5 anthias (one is hiding) Starry Blenny (if you look close you can see him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohaynow Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Nice additions. I love blennies, the starry blennie is probably my favorite, so much personality. And anthias are a very beautiful addition to any tank. Lookin good Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I love starry blennies. The one I have is so fun to watch change color. They also have great personality. Nice anthias too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
