Rene's 75g Journey

I checked it this morning, the lights are still out and it's closed up tight. The picture above was definitely taken in the light! It will be interesting to see what it does! Thanks!

I finally have a close up of my Bangaii! I can't seem to get one without any blurring though!

Thanks! I take them with a mini scope that attaches to my phone!

I need one of those! I used our microscope and my phone for this:

That's a cool picture too. My son said that you can get a microscope with a camera and bluetooth to take pictures, I would like to get one, looked them up on Amazon, not to expensive. Here is a link for the one I use on my phone. It's currently not available, but there are others, that have higher zoom. The one I bought was only about $5. Do a search for phone microscope and it will bring up a bunch of results.

Found something new growing at the base of my Leather Coral!

Moved the Blenny and Foxface to the DT today! The Blenny has found his home, but the Foxface needs more time to adjust, although he did come out to eat, he's a garbage disposal, but he's also a scaredy fish!

I haven't been able to get a good picture of the Foxface.

This rock is on the left side of my tank and it has at least 6 different places where the Blenny can pop his head out of! I love this fish!

Love the eye lashes on the Benny. Those fish have tons of personality.

Thank you for visiting my thread!

He's definitely everything I was hoping he would be! I also love the eyelashes.

So my Blenny decided to do a few Foxface color changes on me today! I learned that it is something they do! Kinda freaked me out a bit, thought he was going to die!

Wow, mine never did that. I think he is just showing off.

I love the purple firefish

That could be what's going on! Seriously thought he was going to die the first time I saw him in this condition, he was even more white than in this picture!

Thanks! I really enjoy them, they're interesting little characters and add a nice bright spot of color to the tank!

Moved the Bangaii Cardinal over to the last QT, now to watch him for the next 2 weeks and then into the DT! I'm also in the process of getting my next fish. Looking at a McCoskers, Carpenter and a Melanuras! These guys will be a fantastic addition to my tank!

Woot woot!

I loved my Melanurus wrasse! Really big jumpers though. Make sure your overflow is covered well.

Yeah, I need to do something about that overflow, I have some plastic canvas over it right now, but the snails seem to move it over without any problems!
