more! my nudibranch and firefish: and i love the polyps on my gorgonian, so i thought i'd take a close up:

ok, so the amonia is decreacing steadily! i'm very happy about that. I also have pics of my fish i got in from SWF here is my flame angelfish hididng under my rock: here he is by my gorgonian:

ya, that sounds great , and it is a very funny movie. There has only been one name suggestion that i have turned down, and that was my little brother wanting to name my blue damsel Paper(that was back when he was 4 lol)! Good luck finding another trigger for your tank :)

haha, thoes names are cool.lol, one of my friends named paul had me name my coral banded shrimp after him because he said they had the 'cool' quality in common. so that and my clown & blue hippo tang are named. haha, they have all been named for me come to think of it :thinking: I have a 5...

can't wait to see pics, i have a 55gal aswell and i am going to make it into a mixed reef. I recently did a whole scrub down of my tank(watch out for that cyano! ) and now i'm begining to add some corals and more fish. I love to see what other people with my same set up have in their tanks ***)

thanks yes, i am to(worried about the ammonia). I was in no way expecting these 2 fish that i came home to find today I really hope nothing goes wrong.... i'm pretty nervous, but the only thing i can do is do more woter changes and constantly stay on top of things.

ok, so i come home from a track meet to find out that my mother had bought 2 new fish at ***** on her way home from work... i have 3 more coming in a couple of days from SWF. One of the fish was a blue hippo tang ! I only have a 55 gallon tank, and i know all about how bad it is to have a tang...

what kind of zoas are thoes?? very beautiful! ***)

haha, the people at school don't make fun of me.lol, but i feel really nerdy when i talk about the lifestyles of my fish regarding science with my science teacher Love the fish by the way

I think it is completely normal , my blue damsel does the same exact thing. Before i rearranged my rock he had a favorite place where he would creat a big hole in the sand. I'm eager to find out where his next hiding place is(he is still swimming like crazy in my tank enjoying the new landscape )

thanks, it's such a relief for me :happyfish

I ordered a flame angelfish, a lyretail anthia, a royal gramma, some copepods, and some snails. that's if for at least 2 weeks. I am still considering buying a RODI unit. and that is going to eat up my money fast. haha, so i don't think i will have a problem with overloading my tank with tons of...

ok, i have an order from swf on it's way. All i ordered were some fish that i will post pics of as soon as i get them. My intentions are to turn this tank into a reef, an i have decided to wait about a month to get corals. Does that sound like a good plan or would you wait longer?

I decided there was nothing i could do for it besides break my whole tank down and scrub the heck out of it. so that's what i did! (with the help of my mother- she is the one in the pics) i also bought a great sump, and a protein skimmer was included in the deal ( you can see the green gunk...

OK, so i have had my tank for awhile now, but i have never had the right equiptment for it. I was also using tap water for changes. So, awhile back a cyano problem started in my tank. it basically took over everything

yea, i agree. I had them on my rocks when i first started my tank.
