Stang's Shroomie Shenanigans

[Stang67]

@rmorris_14 , nothing???

I have learned my lesson.

 

[Stang67]

And just like that. Woke up to Lost and Confused. This is not going to end well.

 

[Stang67]

Going fish shopping tomorrow. The plan is to get small big things. Then I can use this tank as a grow out/observation for the 180. Throw out some ideas if you have them.

 

[Sean Clark]

Balaenoptera musculus. Good luck actually finding one though.

 

[Petcrazyson]

Chalk Bass?

 

[Stang67]

Short list
Peppermint shrimp (180)
Berghia nudi's (180)
McCoskers Flasher
Yellow candy Hogfish
Tailspot blenny

Maybe
Mangrove

Can order through work so may do that on some other things. These 3 fish are peaceful and reef safe (per the interweb). We will see what's actually in stock when I get there today.

 

[Stang67]

Tested this am. Just the basics.
78 / 1.025 / no 10 / po .132
Making rodi to top off awc.
Acclimation bucket ready. Sw mixing and heating to replace what is taken out during acclimation.

5 hrs and 5 fish stores.

Got 4 peppermints for the aptasia in the 180g Will order more through work for half what the stores are charging.
For the shroomie tank may I introduce ebony and ivory (or Ying and yang I havent decided) and Bob.

Ebony is a Domino clown and ivory is a Wtoming white. Bob is a male McCoskers Flasher wrasse.
Maybe these clowns will go for the anemones, Bonnie and Clyde never did.
Also got 6 neon tetras for the fw tank and a pack of frozen food.
One store had both the angel and the trigger I wanted but I am not adding anything nice to the 180g until Pu and the Devil are out.

Nice pick ups!

I needed a nice day away from everything and got to focus on just me. I need those every once and a while.

Everyone ate this morning. No aggression. Bob likes to hang out with the sw mollies. Ebony has 3 spots dorsal fin, head and left cheek. Neither clown has discovered the nems.
Bob nested between rocks last night.

Quick update. I have decided on the names Opal and Onyx for the clowns. They are both stupid and Opal is hosting the thermometer. What ev. Any way finally got the office back in order. I ordered a stand up desk and internet extender plug thing. Tore down and kind of cleaned out the 10g. Still not sure what I want to do with it. Part of me wants to put it downstairs and make a macro tank out of it. So for now it will sit in the basement.
Have to test and do a quick water change if needed on Friday.

A special thanks to @Projects with Sam for the light shade and a filter cup. They are both working like a charm.

I have read macro tanks can be as hard as reef tanks. I have no experience, but think a well maintained system looks cool!
