Nice tank Juice. I was wondering, with all the seemingly small peices of rock, do you glue them together or just hope that they don't fall? I am new at this game and am trying to get some rocks to make my 29 g look nice.
thanks for the info.

I normally just place them where I want them. Problem is keeping my clownfish from tossing them around. Most of the SMALL rockwork has coral attached to it and when decide not to be lazy I will most likely glue them down so he can't terrorize anymore...

Well I am trying to pull the QT back up to the regular SG to see if this helps the Sixline, otherwise I believe he is doomed. It appears to be something with the swim bladder as he can't keep himself upright and his torso by the anal fin appears bloated. Hopefully he makes it out alive!
Next on the agenda, STOCKING!

Give me your ideas for fish everybody! I want this tank to be colorful and I want my fish to do more than just hang out in one spot (there will be a watchman goby tho
).
IDEAS WELCOME!!!

Anybody?
The girlfriend wants a Royal Gramma and I told her to pick a fish so this is what I have so far:
Fish:
Gold Stripe Maroon Clownfish
Sixline Wrasse
Royal Gramma
Inverts:
Peppermint Shrimp
Sally Light Foot Crab
Porcelain Crab
I was thinking maybe 2-3 Blue Reef Chromis and a Shrimp Goby.
What do you guys think?

More new stuff!
Neon Orange Plate coral
Red and Green Favites
4-5 Ricordeas (some Yuma, some Florida)
All that for a mere $65
Pictures when they open (prolly tomorrow)

Clownfish is gone tomorrow. He is getting too aggressive towards the corals, anything not glued is rammed off the rock and anything on the bottom gets buried (including the new plate)...

Yea but what ya gonna do?

I would rather get rid of him that pick up after him. I placed a coral 3 times in 1 hour because he kept rammin it off...
I'd keep the clown and glue the coral down....

what about the plate coral that he is going to continue to bury and the fish that he will harass so they are afraid to come out?
He is a ----! so he must go!

I don't really wanna get rid of him but its in the tanks best interest. I have had him for 2 years now.

Clownfish is gone so this tank is currently fishless but will (as long as things go well) have the sixline in it sometime next week.
On another note I noticed some water on my stand when I got home from classes today. I don't know if this was just under the tank and is seeping out or if this is a sign that I have a small crack in the bottom glass.

There was only 3-4 ounces of water that appeared over 18 hours though and I did fill the tank a little high so I hope its just a freak occurrence and everything is alright. I would really hate to have to replace the tank already...

Yea, I know I'm freaked out but there's not much I can do. Anybody know where I can find a tank somewhere between 24x18x13 - 24x18x18? I want the 24x18 footprint but can't seem to find anything. AGA and Oceanic both don't make them. I don't know what other companies there are out there....

Good News!
Dried everything last night and after classes today I came home and there was no water on the stand or floor!

Well the Royal Gramma decided to jump tank and I found him lying on the floor this morning, dead...

In better news I just got home from the frag swap and also got to use the girlfriends camera again....
I found SWEET clam!
I have been looking for one since mine died from a temp spike.
