That foxface looks good man :) .. How is it doing? A fox face is on my list on inmates so Im interested.. Read that they are supposed to be relatively easy to keep

Yea his cool.
Well it seams like his getting use to his new tank.
He started eating yesterday of the LR and i also put some seaweed in onto a small pease of LR so he eats it of there.

Thanx.

howzee CW, good to see that pulsing xenia opening nicely! how is the pink colt doing?

Hi Goby.

Ja the Zina looks good.
Ive moved the Pink colt and Leather finger to see if it likes it with less flow in the tank.
So he will have to adjust again but sofar they look ok.

What kind of flow do they want?

Egg grating build

Hi there PPL

I did the egg grating build last night, finished with the grating at about 12 and did the conduit pipe legs this morning.

Almost used the whole 1200mm x 600mm egg grating sheet
also used 93 white cable ties and about 2meter of conduit.

Heres the build.

Setup new LR scaping with egg grating

Hi there PPL

I’m done with the egg grating in the tank.
Some parts of the egg grating are still visible but hiding it is no joke i can tell you that.

It took me 2hours to get it in.
Had to take most of the LR out and then added the grating.

Have a look.
41594d57add452527.jpg

Most of the LR removed and temporary stored in a other container with DT water.

And that’s it.
My yellow tank already likes this new setup.
His been going underneath the grating a few time already.

Cw out:p:thumbup:;):):biggrin:jeehaa.



Oh ja, I’ve also added all the live rock that i previously added to the skimmer chamber.

Looks good but please make sure that not a single bit of the egg crate is visible,keep it as natural looking as possible buddy...just looks better,unless you like a marine aquarium with plastic all over:whistling:

True true. But ill have to get some more LR. And a bit bigger pieces.
Then i would be able to cover all of it.

I had to get it in asap cos i dedent wanted to let the LR just lay there with half of it sticking out while i was biz in the DT.

Ill get some LR later then ill hide all the plastic. hehe.

Thanx man.

First LS loss

Hi there PPL

Dont realy wana say this but i had my first fish loss.
Dont know what happened.

When i showed my brother my new chiller i felt something wet on the carpet.
Then i saw its one of my gobies.

He probable jumped.
:(:(:(

Cw out:(
 
The firefish? Firefish are know to jump out of the aquarium when they are stressed, so maybe all the aquascapping stressed it out
