tank looks sweet... i was also thinking about getting a maroon but i was told they get pretty big and aggressive so i just stuck to false percs... i really hope you can get to the bottom of your FIASCO (no point intented) and you can start adding my live stsock to your tank
if you can post of some pics of your 45g i wanna see what you got hiding in there

LOL okay... I want honest opinions but my 45 is still only about 4 months old. Don't be too harsh...

Soory about the quality. I took these and they look great in Iphoto but I have to scale them down to "medium" quality so the site will let me upload them... bummer. I have a few more pics I'll post later, I have some corals and things I forgot to take care pics of.

He is but that picture is actually the same one that I had posted for the anemone thread. We will see what he does. He has a lot of color and all of his tentacles seem very full and "inflated". He doesn't appear to be melting or sick. Just hiding. He has moved around a bit though... I'll post another pic of him too...

Your tank is way too young for a mandarin dragonet. You need to take him back for something else..without a fugium he will starve.

How long have you had the Mandarin, can you get a better pic. I was thinking it looked a little skinny
everything else is nice

I was so concerned about the mandarin...your tank looks HEALTHY..I say that because you thought it was murderous...it looks wonderful. You did it!

he wasnt talking about his 45 being murderous he was talking about his nano.... tank looks super sweet!!!!
everything looks cool, how big are your percs they only look to be a lil larger then mine...
my biggest one is only about 1.5 maybe 2 inches with the smaller one being no larger then 1.5 inches but other then that everything looks great. right now from what i saw you only have 3 fish in your 45 am i right...?

LOL okay.... slow it down here. First off... Yes I am a she. My name is Rae. Ablan is my last name, L is middle initial. HAHA
It's all good... I don't mind. I did have a pic of my kiss face but some one, Jackri, I believe said "your avatar scares me. It looks like you are trying to kiss me and I am married." Then I changed it to a very very young FTS of my 45 gal. (current)
Fiasco- My clowns are sorta young. Got them at the LFS and I one that was already bigger and a small male. The male is very small, about an inch, but he is bulky round the middle. The female is a little over two inches. but not quite 2.5
Flower- LMAO I have 2 tanks. I got the nano because my boyfriend is one of those IT guy who spends relentless hours in our home office and never gets to see the other tank. I got him into saltwater... He thought fish were stupid, but now he wants a tank. THAT IS the murderous one. I still have not ruled that out but I bought a maroon clown baby which I have a pic of that I will post, and he is quite happy there and hasn't taken a turn yet. I believe it was you who said my water was just too young to support the corals and inverts. I think you were def. right. Thanks for that info, that really didn't occur to me. My other thought it, maybe the tank did have copper. We will let the fish do his thing, cycle the tank for ANOTHER month and then try again? If the invert won't live, I will test for copper. (probably before I put them in).
Nissan-Thanks for the compliments and I have some more pics coming.
IN REGARDS TO MY MANDARIN- I have had him for over 2 months and he is dandy. He is very small, only about the size of my pinky, maybe smaller. He has gotten alot bigger and fatter since I got him, and he seems very happy. He is colorful (the pics really don't do him justice, he just looks washed out) and he eats alot! I always see him on the hunt. There is one thing that is a little weird, I have noticed within the last few days. There is some white stringy thing on him. You know that little fin on their back they raise when they are alarmed? There is something what and stringy hanging from the end of it... It looks like snail slime with sand stuck in it or something. Any guesses as to what that is?
I also have 4 fish not 3, in my 45. I have 2 pers, 1 royal gramma, 1 mandarin, 1 fire shrimp, 2 pep. shrimp, 3 emeralds, variety of snails, and hermits. I also have two hitch hiker feather dusters. (one red, one brown). And 1 pencil urchin and 1 condy anemone.
LOTS AND LOTS OF TYPING!!!!!
