redsea's 29g Build

[redsea01]

Hi everyone! I just realized that I didn't have a thread for my little BioCube here! I was thinking about just posting the updates for the BioCube in my 125g thread, but I decided to make a different thread for this tank.

SO much has been happening lately with this tank, I'm really excited. For the longest time, this tank only had a Cleaner Shrimp and Black Ice Snowflake Clownfish in it, but so much has been happening recently. A few weeks ago I picked up a Flurry Clownfish to pair with the Black Ice Snowflake, and I am pleased to share that they have taken to each other very well, I don't see any aggression thankfully. Also, last Sunday I purchased A FIRE SHRIMP (AHHHH I LOVE THESE SOOOO MUCH, I HAVEN'T HAD ONE IN YEARS). The fella is soooo worth the price tag! It's colors are just amazing.

I'll have a new video out soon to give you a visual of this tank. Stay tuned, and thanks so much for following along!

Oh, and while you're here, check out my 125g!

Hey @helen ann ! Thanks so much for following! I so appreciate it! Here are some pics of the tank including some of the new additions! I still need to get a picture of the Royal Gramma, whom I have named Priscilla. Priscilla likes to hang in the rocks so getting a picture isn't always easy, lol.

Ooooh, I forgot! I also have two new Zebra (? I think) Turbo Snails for this tank, which I love. I've only had Mexican Turbos before, but the LFS owner said she thinks these are even better.

I just realized I forgot to mention in the original post that I purchased a Pygmy Angel and Royal Gramma...you can tell that from the picture above but I completely forgot to acknowledge it originally, lol

Thank you so much!!! Mr. Nibbles and my little guy would be great friends!! I need a name for mine...hmmmm

I'll post an FTS soon! Though I do have to warn you the tank doesn't look too great right now...the water parameters are all really great, but there is a little algae on the back I need to scrape off...maybe it's because my lights are really old?

I'm excited because I ordered a bunch of new Fiji rock from Bulk Reef Supply last night that I will split between this tank and the 125g. This tank is pretty empty because I stole a bunch of rock from this tank when I was starting up the 125 for the cycle. [emoji57]

 

[helen ann]

How old are lights? They say to change yearly I think
I am coming up on my year and hoping since I have the LED inserts I can push that a lil' while waiting for new tank.
Have gotten lucky, I have never had any algae in mine but back is getting pretty covered with coralline algae, has even started growing on glass but I scrape it off.

Only reef people get excited about some rock!!! LOL LOL LOL!!!

 

[redsea01]

YES IM SO PUMPED FOR THE ROCK!! AND ITS FIJI SO IT WILL CONTRAST WELL WITH THE OTHER TYPE I HAVE IN THERE! Yep, only reef peeps get so excited they want to use all caps when talking about rock...I'm just that excited to fill this tank and the 125 up a bit more!

The lights are....uhhhh....maybe.....possibly.....the same ones from November 2013. The tank doesn't have any coral...but I still need to replace the bulbs probably haha

In Clown news...I am currently in the process of moving them to their own 10g tank (there will be no other fish in there). I didn't want to do this, but the female just will not stop nipping the Royal Gramma and Pygmy Angel.

On a happier note, both seem to be doing a little better (for those of you that saw my other thread about them not looking their best).

I just setup the 10g with new water I made, moved over three sizeable rocks, took some filter media, and took some sand to ensure the tank had enough beneficial bacteria. All that sounds okay, right?

 

[MasterBacon]

Sounds great!

 

[redsea01]

Sounds great!

Awesome, thank you! I'm glad I didn't mess it up haha.

Ugh ... those female clowns are horrible! Woman!!! I tell you!

IKR! Those female Clowns sure like to cause a ruckus! This one is something else, let me tell ya!

 

[helen ann]

the shame!

 

[redsea01]

the shame!

I might make her wear a dunce cap or something...ya know...public shame. Unless it's been my Royal Gramma picking on the Angel all along, lol. I highly doubt that though because the Gramma has a nip of his own on his tail. Detective Michael at work! lol

I know it!!! I guess they are part of the Damsel family after all. [emoji849] Mean little buggers. The Black and White pair I have in the 125 are doing well and are nice and peachy to everyone, so there is some hope for them! Haha

Oh I meant to ask since I forgot, are you running your 29g with your new 56g? Or just the 56?

Hmmmmmm, that seems to be the million dollar question! I haven't quite decided yet!
I seem to change my mind everyday about keeping or breaking down!!
