OrionN's 320 Reboot

[Eagle_Steve]

After more than 1 week in my tank, I saw the three Radiant wrasse together so I snapped a quick dirty picture.

Love it!!!!!

 

[OrionN]

Nice! I just picked up one that looks similar, now in QT + Cipro...

We should have a pack. If mine or your Magnifica divide, we should sell to each other the first one.
I love the color of your Mag

I got two Marine Bettas from @ThRoewer. This species is one of my favorite fish. Beautiful, perfectly formed 1 and 1+inch Betta.
If anybody want to get tank raise, perfect Merine Betta, I highly recommend getting them from @ThRoewer.
Per ThRoewer spawn date was September 23rd, 2020 and Hatch date was September 28th, 2020. These guys are 6 month old, plus a few days.

They can be ordered from Biota now together with other captive bred fish.

I picked one that looked like a female (the smaller/shorter) and one like a male (the longer one). Keep me updated how it works out (may take a few years).

My two two tiny Meleagris I had for several months from @galactic_coral. They are doing very well, now at about 1.5-1.75 inch. Sorry for the dirty glass and the aptasia. This QT system now is optimal to acclimate difficult fish like CBB.

I got a Bicolor, and another Flameback Angel earlier this week. They are a little on the thin side so I have him in my QT with a few other fish for grown out. This tank is a little over loaded. 40 gal right now. Lots of algae so the pictures are not optimal, but doe show how beautiful this little angel is. Also picture of the black Mangrove that I grew from seed, along with the salt crystals on the leaves, which is the mechanism of how this mangrove can live in 3.5% saline water.

 

[Zionas]

Nice. Hope the Bicolor does well with corals. So you have a harem of Flamebacks again? Has the spawning pair accepted this new female?

 

[OrionN]

I got a new sick Green Gigantea. Not deflating so he went into my sump. This is the second time I feed him. He is eating and not regurgitate later as far as I can tell. I will continue to feed him every other days until he is well.

My Black Mangrove that I grew from seed, pick up after the last hurricane on shore of South Padre Island. It have enough light and is growing well. When these plants have enough light, it start to send our side branches. Also the middle picture intended to show the larger roots that it is sending down for nutrients and anchors. The white crystals on the leaves are salt crystals excrete by the plant. It is how it deal with the hyper-tonic salt water. How it can leave in the salt water that would kill most other terrestrial plants.

In the second picture, my Xenia can be seen full in my sump and partial pictures of the Crocea and Maxima in my sump. I have to move my two Gigas into the DT. They are getting large and take up too much "valuable spaces" in my sump. In a lot of ways, I do enjoy my sump space. This is where I can really keep close eyes on my animals and take much better car of them. I find this very ironic and funny.
Also there is a NY Knicks that I got in the sump. I got it as a single head for plenty of pennies, now it is two headed and is splitting into a 4 heads frag. Now if I can only frag them and recoup my cost.

 

[Eagle_Steve]

Looking good as usual. Is that a torch to the right of the mangrove?

Thanks. That is my soon to be 4 heads NY Knicks. I got it as a single head . I think I will frag it once it clearly become 4 heads. How much it cost me already burn a hole in my pocket. I need to recover the cost of this frag.

I understand. My torches were pricey and they have been fragged once and are now paid for lol.

Sell 2 and buy another nem would be what I do lol.

Food eaten.

Can't get a picture of the clams without them retracted a little but here are some of the clams.

 

[OrionN]

That large Aptasia is history. I just use my finger. He was stupid enough to craw out on a flat piece of rock. Put him floating into the DT and the CBB was right there.

 

[OrionN]

I alway thought that my angels go after my Xenia and kill all of my Xenia. Well this I. Not the case. I put a rock from the sump full of Aptasia and Xenia to my DY several months ago. The Aptasia was eliminated by my CBB but my Xenia surprisingly did fine. No evidence of been eating by any of the fishes.

 

[OrionN]

My Noae clam grew a bit. Wild caught from VietNam, full of parasitic snails when I first got him but doing well after I got all the parasites off of him. Here he is next to one of my Gigas in DT

My Foxface grew from 2.5 inches emaciated fish in 11/2020 to one of he large fish in the tank at about 4.5-5 inches. He is only shorter the PBT (the undisputed King of the tank), Purple tang and the Harlequin Tusk. He gain a lot of weight and is a very think body fish. The small wound on his R side have completely healed.

 

[Zionas]

Hi Minh, hope all is well. Would love an update on the status of your Bicolor pair and Flameback harem.

 

[Zionas]

On a side note Minh, what are the dimensions of your tank? Is it 96” / 8ft? What about the depth and height?
