Thanks
I have been refreshing the tracking on fedex priority constantly lol theyre already on route! gotta love priority shipping. States it should arrive at 10:30am but I've never been lucky with shipping, usually I always get my stuff at the end of the trucks shift it seems! Either way I have my girlfriends DSLR camera ready to take some fresh crisp pictures.

I took the 20high into the basement and removed one pane of glass and changing the dimensions to make it 24longx17widex12high

Could you explain what you did and why? Seems like an interesting modification that probably has some purpose I'm just not seeing.

I literally cut the silicone off from one of the 24x17 sides and turned the tank on its side making the other still attached 24x17 piece the bottom. Than attaching the piece I removed where the old opening was. The modification was purely for my entertainment, and the reason the furniture I have for it has dimensions of 24x18 at top so it fits perfect. I prefer the dimensions of 24long by 17 wide by 12 high better. I was going to cut the piece I removed but really didn't want to get too involved since this is most likely a temporary tank and the stuff will probably be moved to a larger tank in the fall.

Oh, I think I see. You basically turned a 20 high into a 20 shallow (rimless and without the bottom trim).

Yes, trim is unnecessary. Could have cleaned it up but like I said.. didn't want to get to involved.

Tank looks great! \Gold BCS are pretty shy, but you can usually coax them out with some food. We've kept pairs of the Golden and Yellow BCS and they both have much milder temperaments than their cousin (Stenopus hispidus).

Thank you, yeah definitly they have been shy. Its kind of annoying but atleast I know its a better scenario if down the road I combine this tank with my main tank with cleaner shrimps I will most likely have better luck than their cousins. They havent killed any hermits or battled my emerald crab which I heard the red/whites do. They are fun to watch when they are out though. Hopefuly once they get bigger they will stay out more, but they are pretty small at the moment..

The Gold species (Stenopus zanzibaricus) are cleaners in the wild. In our larger tanks, they setup "shop" and advertise their services much like skunk cleaners do, but they are nowhere near as bold as the skunk's. Our Angels, Tangs and Foxface Rabbitfish seem to enjoy the grooming. We've kept the Gold's with Peppermints and Skunk cleaners without issues, but each had their own territories.

Good to know, thanks.. I have two cleaners In my main tank. A skunk and blood red but they are pretty lenient with each other. Glad it will work

Just added in a pinchusion urchin, 3 hermits and 6 astrea

 

[Kworker]

I dont know if I still qualify but the tank starting leaking on the top so I tossed everything in a 10 gal and it doesn't look too good lol I lost a couple things that I'm not too happy about. A gold cbs disappeared and pincushion urchin was eating its heart out than it died.

Wow, so sorry to hear about the leak and losses.

Thanks, atleast one of the cbs made it and of courses the hermits did lol. Zoas are still okay. Really everything in this tank is just waiting til I upgrade to my 180 or 210 than it will be combined with my 55 gal.
