Well its been an insane few months for my tank! I'll try and shorten the story....
1. Every single pump and powerhead in the tank died all at once, including the chiller.
2. Fernando the sixline Wrasse goes on a snail, shrimp and fish killing spree, kills largest clown and small citron goby.
3. Buy a 6gal nano to save the other clown in.
4. 6Gal cracks while filling sprays water across computer and desk.
5. Get new 6Gal for free, fill, put in clown, shrooms, xenia rock.
6. Put 2 damsels into main 24pod with Sixline.
7. Sixline dissapears.
8. Get mate for clown, first clown kills new clown over night.
9. Get teeeeny diamond goby, dead the next day.
10. Original clown dead the next day.
11. Find mantis shrimp (2 in) in nano.
12. Install new pumps and bigger cooling system in lights in main tank.
IT WAS A CRAZY FEW WEEKS!
So here is the new adorable nano, which is basically my shroom and xenia breeding tank, though I did add a gorgeous Hawaiian Tube Worm.
And here is a pic of the crazy growing Xenia that split into three on Christmas.
The nano is super stable and dirty enough for the shrooms to go nuts. Note that these pics are right after a water change. The only thing hard about it is keeping the PH up which I use the Sea-Lab blocks to do (broken up into very small pieces.
So heres a new full tank shot of the 24 (which for my birthday is getting a Sunpod 150 Halide 24"
And here is the very happy and growing clam (Henry) Can anyone ID those weird little tubes hes been growing on his shell????
And lastly one of the rarely seen but still ALIVE gobies, this one happens to be Jack (Diane turned bizarre colors and got really fat, go figure) with Henry the clam in the foreground.
Thanks for looking and paying attention to my little gallery!
