I was only thinking it wasnt because it ate so much b/c it was literally the next day. The classic part is that the kids name the fish and this one was named the name of the principal b/c it is really fat. For the sake of my job I renamed it Rush Limbaugh.

So... I have been around plenty of 6 lines but I have never noticed this: I just got one from a local store and within a day its belly got huge, is there a possibility its pregnant?

Here are some pix

So here is what it looks like the day after the switch to glass, obviously the corals arent back to 100% yet but I am loving the switch, thanks again to John Manrow for helping out.

So, as stated in the title about I keep getting shocked and I cant figure out what is going on with the fixture. There isnt any obvious signs of salt spray, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks as always for the help

sorry, this is all there is in terms of specs. (I hope this is ok to post here, if not I apologize)

Thanks guys!

I used to go to Reeftopia.com, awesome prices and free shipping, worth a look for cleanup crew

beautiful tank!

That is exactly what is going on in my tanks, to a T. I am also interested in these mystery things.

I am going to switch to your glass 55 as soon as I get time off to do it, I can't wait to see what it looks like without all these scratches. Have you fed the eel yet?

I completely forgot Mr. S, thanks so much for the Live Rock, it has helped a ton.

Oh yeah you sure can recognize the clove polyp, that thing is MASSIVE. Everything is doing great with the exception of the xenia which I think is turning the corner, it was limp and to an extent still is but it is starting to fuse to other spots on the rock. Thanks again for them.

Here is the tank that has been put together with all of your help. It is more than full, as soon as the school tank gets up and going I can put some of this into it.

Tomini Tang

3 False Percs

Diamond Goby

Black Cap Basslet

Tiger Goby

2 Firefish

Six Line Wrasse

2 Peppermint Shrimp

3 Emerald Crabs

Horseshoe crab

tons of hermits and snails

Colt coral

Multiple types of Xenia

Galaxia

GSP

Leathers

Mushrooms

Acro

Hairy Mushroom

multiple other mushrooms

Clove Polyps

Many Zoos

Frogspawn

Hammer coral

Candy cane, etc.

Definitely more than maxed out so I need the school tank up and going asap.

I got this from a guy a few months back when it was on its death bed, I put it under halides and now my t-5s and it seems to be coming back to life. What exactly is this?

Thanks

anyone ever have any luck hatching these guys?

How has this not sold yet? Awesome deal. Maybe I will go door to door to fundraise for this. Anyone want girl scout cookies? Dog walked, car cleaned? One day, if I marry for money I will get one close to this.

cool thread, can't wait to see this thing all set up

are you selling the sailfin tang?

A new addition to the list:

Barelycuda: AWESOME!

Man that facility is incredible, thank you so much for putting up with questions and showing me around, not to mention your generosity of the clowns!

$100 anyone? anyone?

alright, I am going to add saltwater to it today and will add some to the 40. Is it ok to have the rest in the cold, covered by saltwater or should I put a heater in it? Will there be too much die off by Friday to put it in the 35 I am setting up?

I just took all the live rock from my 40 gallon tank in school today to give some space to my shark once it hatches to swim around. There are a lot of choice pieces of LR, tons of xenia but tons and tons and tons of Aptasia. I put all of the rock in a 55 gallon trash can pretty much dry, there is about 5 gallons of saltwater in it, I was originally planning on filling it up with water but didnt know the best way to cure it for later use and thought dry seems best from my ignorant perspective. What should I do? The trash can is sitting outside covered, no lighting, no powerheads, minimal water (covering maybe 20% of the rock), should I use powerheads and heat and keep it wet? or should I leave it to dry and die off?

Thanks as always for the help, its much appreciated.

So I have been on here for not much more than a month and have had a ton of people help me out either with setting stuff up, giving advice or giving corals and/or hardware when it was much needed:

Jmanrow: for helping set up my tank and all the advice

Frags: (thanks for these, my tank now has some life and is shaping up)

Dsoz, tankit, pledosophy, smann, lowman

Hardware of sorts: (from pvc, to buffing kits, to an aquariscope, thank you!)

pledosophy, breefcase, Jmanrow, kriswaters, kilmca, parvo99

Stores: (from fish credit to water changes to just killer deals on livestock, thanks so much)

Doran, Seahorse and Fantaseas

To the rest of you thanks for all the advice and help with setting this up on a very, very, very limited budget, without you all I wouldn't have even attempted to venture out of fish only, thanks again, you are all a huge blessing.

What fish would work to put in there that wouldnt deplete the pod population?

I really like the idea of having the 35 display refugium with a pair of fish in it or something larger with life other than microscopic animals. I am going to be using the help of the Man, the Legend=John Manrow to get this up and running so I am sure it will be awesome, I will update when it gets all set up.

Thanks again for all the advice guys, youre awesome!
