I picked up an absolutely gorgeous Moorish Idol specimen today. He acclimated beautifully and already is eating whatever I put in the tank, plus I've got plenty of live sponges in the tank for him. They had another Moorish Idol in a different tank that was kind of beat up so I didn't get him as...

I had all of my levels checked before I bought him, all were excellent. Nitrates were at 5. It might have been that because he was fine today. Still exhibiting typical blue face shyness but eating like a maniac when I put food in the tank. Thanks for the info.

I've got seven, 6 blue chromis and one bluer one, plus 3 humbug damsels. They all school together but they attack food like pirhanhas. They're crazy. Sometimes they'll attack each other, but these days I wonder if all the ocean pollution hasn't changed fish personalities for the worse. At any...

I just got a 5" Blue Face Angel today. I acclimated him for an hour, much more than I have my other fish. I put him in the tank, he swam calmly to the bottom of the tank, looked around, then went to the back of the tank and has stayed there for over 3 hours and does this violent shake thing. But...

Nooooo!!!! :eek: My diamond Gobi made it worse by kicking up the dust in the substrate. Of course if most of your substrate is clean then go for it. My substrate is whiter than white. ;)

The one thing it did that pissed me off is he buried one of my fuzzy mushroom colonies 3 times, It's looking pretty ragged right now.

Mine is 12" right now. That's the size he was when I got him 2 weeks ago.

Oh, a gold digger are ya!?! :p

Anyone willing to climb into a mermaid costume is ok in my book. Except guys. No guys!

Yes, you can see the entire overflow on the right, plus there's another 6" or so that's cut off. On the left you're just seeing a part of the overflow, and again, there's about 6-8" more tank to the left of that one. I can get far enough back to include the whole tank but then the edges bow due...

If you look good in a mermaid costume you can come swim in my tank any time ;-)

Actually you're only seeing a third of the tank. It's 6ft. long but I shot close in so you're only seeing a little over 4 feet of it. My filtration isn't all that impressive. A 30 gallon sump with two filter socks filled with 1 chemipure bag each, an eshopps PK-200 skimmer, another large bag of...

Just keep in mind, seecrabrun, that it will totally remove all substrate from beneath your live rock or whatever else you may have in your tank. This will kick up a LOT of dust. My sand sifting goby made it even worse when he sifted through the newly exposed substrate. I mentioned my solution...

180 plus a 30 sump.

A scissor tale gobi. I love the gothic coloring on that thing. They completely hide for like a month before they finally start coming out. Thanks for all the compliments. I've since added a Flame Angel and a Powder Blue tang. The Engineer gobi was a terror at first. Once he started digging all...

After suffering a major catastrophe (closed covers trapping carbon dioxide in my tank. Who knew!?!) I've slowly restocked, with a couple of survivors still hanging in.

If I may quote myself:

I've got two firefish in a tank with Angels, dwarf Angels, Tangs, chromis, sand sifting gobi's, other gobie's, etc. They get along fine with all of them and nobody bothers them. Getting on to the topic this thread turned into, mushrooms, I have a question. My tank has been up for 4 months. I've...

Update: The Majestic is now a healthy, eating, swimming member of the tank.

3 months. If you heard Swahili, you'd know it :eek:
