LOL.

Not yet. Melev made it look easy to catch his hippo tang in a similar acrylic box.

Dang-it Xenon, you are making me spend a lot of money....... very impressed with your set-up. Newbie here, and I have been following your progress, and all I can say is wow. What a clean, well planned(not to mention BEAUTIFUL!!) tank you have. Very impressive!!

[xenon]

Thanks for the compliments. This is my 1st tank and so far very rewarding!

It looks like my fish trap is working afterall. Here is a quick video of my naso tang eating noori inside the box.

Hi Xenon

Can you add a sound track and comments from the peanut gallery to your video?

I followed the link to Melev's video and that was really funny!!

Thanks for the link!

What are you going to do with the Powder Blue if he has ich again? Start a new QT or put both fish in there together?

These vids are a little too short to add a sound track. I am probably going to trap them on video witch should last much longer.

My plan is to take out all the fish again and QT them for 6weeks in hypo.

I don't usually post pics of my corals but I have a new favorite that I am pretty excited about.

This is a Chilli Coral and its 100% non-photosynthetic that prefers high flow.

[xenon]

I woke up this morning and was blown away how much bigger it got and how much more extended the polyps were.

[hulley]

You have an absolutely stunning tank! That is a beautiful chili coral too! Great job!

[joekr]

xenon, is that a frag or is it direct from the ocean? Just curious on it's growth and how it can be fragged. Beautiful coral!

[SHLove16]

Wow, that's very nice!

I have no idea. I got this coral from a local reefer.

When I got home and tested the salinity in the bag it was 1.035!!!!

It took me 8hrs to acclimate it and it doubled in size over 24hr period.

My firefish and niger trigger are out of QT and into my display. ;D

So far the trigger is playing nice with my tangs. I thought there might be an issue since my powder blue can be a bully sometimes but so far not a single agression issue in the last 48hrs since he was added.

Sweet tank, I've always loved triggers. Check out my tank (red house) 90BB same as yours .

Thanks.

I have read your thread before.

Sorry to hear about your blue throat dying.

My niger trigger is the most interesting fish I have so far and the least colorfull.

xenon you have a beautiful tank. When you say the vinyl on the back what is this and from where you buy it and how you put it on the back.

thanks. Awesome tank

It's made by Avery and you cay buy it from any "sign shop".

I used a spray bottle with a little dish soap to keep the surface lubricated enough to slide it into place. Then I use a clean wide putty knife used for drywall joints to smooth out all the bubbles.

So this is not the background sheets with pic or blue/black background they sell them in the Pet supply store.

Nope.

The Avery vinyl is sticky on one side.

A bare bottom aquarium is pre-historic. How can individuals who call themselves human be soo pre-human as to keep marine life form in such an unnatural state.

This is just appalling.

That is Good Stuff!!! I needed a good laugh to start my monday morning!
Jepuskar, if you are serious, you obviously dont know what you are talking about. How about a little research before opening your mouth. Otherwise that was funny!

[joekr]

jepuskar, you're kidding around, right?
