You did an awesome job with the aquascaping Lissa. Hang in there. The fish have double the room to hide now! LOL

The tank looks a lot better than you keep telling me too!

 

[ellebelle]

You mean with all of the dead acros?

 

[ming]

a minor speed bump.. you can come back stronger then ever!

 

[prattreef]

looks great Lissa. Acro's are easy to come by---just come by

 

[nanoreefer22]

Also one of my fish promptly jumped into the freakin' overflow box. I tried to catch her but I've resorted to just dropping a little food in it.

Lissa, great job. I love the new 'scape.

Nice scape!

 

[bad coffee]

put a net over the overflow pipe into the sump, and pull your durso. Put fish back into display tank.

More pics, please.

beat me to it bad or bend a fish net and scoop out, done that a time or two, looking good

Is this the female Pylei that we were talking about earlier?
Good luck to you, my Flame Wrasse has been in my overflow for about 7 weeks now...at least your durso's were just put in so you have a chance to yank one out...mine is like cement in there..so I just keep feeding the overflow I appreciate his beauty in a mirror....


Tank looks HOT - HOT - HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:fish:

For Brett, two more photos.

Yes, that's right, I have a mandarin. I got one out of desperation to eat my flat worms. I never saw him eating any flatworms, but he doesn't seem to be getting any skinnier and I've had him for 5 months now. I have seen him try to eat pellets, but they are waaay too big for his little mouth. He's probably only about 2" long. We'll see how it goes in the new tank - less live food.

Great colors...good luck with that mandarin...

Nice thread Lissa, hope you don't get anymore FW's

 

[ellebelle]

I expected him to be a goner months ago, truthfully. I'd heard from a bunch of people that they eat flatworms so I was hoping that would keep him going.

IMO mandarins are hardier then most people think... Best of luck

I would have to strongly disagree with that. Mandarins are HARDY meaning that they adapt to aquarium life but they will waste away without appropriate food supplies. I'm buying some live food to seed my tank tomorrow.
