andy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Are you using one of those extension-cord GFCIs? IME, those things trip when you look at them sideways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSaint Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 No, it is a two outlet socket (15 amp I believe), but we had a few too many things plugged into it originally so I think we damaged it and now it is tripping left and right. We are going to straighten it all out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSaint Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 So all of our livestock in the tank seem to have survived our treaturous weekend of electrical glitches. Everything seemed to be getting back to normal so we took a field trip to get some fish. We picked up a clown, six-line wrasse, bi-color pseudochromis, and an emerald crab. They all seem to be happy in the tank and we are starting to see some coralline algae. Here are a few pick, more to come as the tank matures! Our Clown: Shane's Duncans: Six-Line Wrasse and Torch Coral: Full Tank: Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSaint Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Updated Pics It has been a little while and a few things have changed in the tank so I wanted to update you all. Our Pseudochromis decided he didn't like the tank and committed suicide by jumping over the back of the tank. We replaced him with a firefish Goby. We rearranged some of our scape around, added some armor of the gods, bubble tip anemone (no pics yet, he's hiding) and our Duncans are exploding! We gave in and decided to upgrade our Hamilton 10K to an XM 20K, what a sweet difference! Halides Rock!(rock2). Armor of Gods Duncans The Firefish Goby Full Tank Shot Thanks for looking.

andy Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Wow, it's looking great. Those duncans look really happy in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCG CWO Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Actually the theory of Q's (bi-color pseudochromis) death is under mysterious cicumstances. Some of us believe that Q was picking on and moving in on Six Pack's (Six Line Wrasse) territory. So we think Six Pack and the Clown (Corky) got together and shallow six'd Q over the back of the tank. Six Pack is now eyeballing Lightening (Fire Fish Goby). We are keeping a close eye on Six Pack the OG. Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180Brandy Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Good luck!! Sounds like six pack could get dishonorable discharge for not being nice to his fellow tank mates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCG CWO Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Well in Six Pack's defense he was toten' a butt whooping from Q on a daily basis. Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSaint Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Well if having one killer in the tank wasn't enough Shane had to go bring in his serial killer anemone(nutty). This thing ate his cleaner shrimp and scooter blenny!! If anyone is interested I think we are going to start having tank death matches in our conference room!(laugh) JK.

USCG CWO Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yeah - it can get ugly in "reef world" sometimes! Heck, channel six should do their broadcast on location in our conference room. It goes like this in my best newscaster voice: "Hi I am Eugene H. Krabs and here are tonight’s top stories, "Q the peudochromis, Suicide or Murder? Q muscling in on wrasse territory, six pack the OG wrasse and leader of the nefarious bad wrasses gang is the prime suspect. Police refuse to comment as it is an ongoing investigation. However inside sources say that Corky Clown has been brought in for questioning as a possible co-conspirator. Where have all the hermits gone and why do the few remaining all have new homes, and finally tonight the green tentacles in the rocks, psycho serial killer or just misunderstood anemone? Stay with us for these stories and more with K.R.A.B channel six news. Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSaint Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Updated Pictures So we have been busy packing the tank with everything we can get our hands on (clap), only problem is finding a place to put it all (whistle). But the most recent news is as follows: The turbo snail tribe was recently banished from the island and sent to the sump. They were summarily replaced with a Nassarius Snail Tribe who seem to be enjoying the island. The ever feared Zoa Eating Nudibranch Tribe hitch hiked their way onto the island and were quickly voted out and executed for their trouble. (enforcer) An Anenome was brought to the island in an attempt to provide a domicile for Corky. Unfortunately the anemone is unhappy (flame) refuses to play nice and has drawn into seclusion. Corky in an act of spite has begun to host the Duncans and has in turn made them very angry (threaten). A few other players have arrived on the island and have really completed the color spectrum in the tank. More to come next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSaint Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 SERIAL KILLER ON THE LOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The OG six pack (six line wrasse) is under interrogation after the suspiscious death of lightning (firefish goby)(enforcer). Lightning was mysteriously found shriveled up on the floor of the conference room during a routine morning check-in at the Coast Guard reef residence(whistle). OG's suspected accomplice Chubby (Cleaner Shrimp) has been uncooperative with investigators and has even lashed out at his partner for being too open with the authorities(nono). Six Pack is also wanted for questioning in the recent death of a blue-leg hermit crab. A Green BTA was recently introduced to the residence, however he was not happy with the accomodations and had to be removed for fear that he would create a toxic environment for all of the inhabitants(drooler). The other new inhabitants on the reef are doing well in their new domicile. In this edition of why in the world, Corky (clown) has continued to host the Duncans, who are not too pleased by his advances(flame). In another news flash 2 turbo snails were brought back from exile in the sump for some emergency cleanup after a mild algae outbreak. Their destructive behavior is being closely monitored and any future outbursts on the reef will result in another trip to exile. That is all for the news tonight here on W-CGRN, Coast Guard Reef Network. (rock2) R.I.P. Lightning Hosting the what? Until next time - Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonH Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Not that I'm taking Six Pack's side, mind you, but firefish are jumpers. Poor Six Pack could be getting railroaded by the man. Rush to judgement. If it doesn't fit, you must aquit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCG CWO Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I don't know Jason. Six-pack is the suspect in another case involving Q the peudochromis. While we have not actually seen Six-pack physically attack his tank mates, he does patrol around like he is the Great White of the tank. R.I.P Lighting you'll be missed. Coast Guard Reef is now accepting susgestions or rental applications. We are a small community of 20 gallons. If you think you would be a good fit with our community please submit your application to TheSaint c/o PNWMAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
