BB Reef tank


Recommended Posts

Tank spec -

Tank Size: 90(L) X 50 (W) X 60(H) [Drawn out by Gouldian and me, build by Kwong Lim Frame maker]

Lighting: MH 2x 250w BLV 14000k [ Abit too yellow for my liking]

T5s 2X 39w Aquaz Blue

Skimmer: Tunze Doc skimmer

Wavemaker: 2X Tunze 6060

In order to keep everything neat and simple, I opt for Bare bottom, for ease of siphoning and cleaning and using dead rocks instead of live for my tank. The advantage of using dead rocks would be lowering the chance of having pest such as crabs and mantis shrimps. This allows me to keep smaller fishes like dartfish, shrimp gobies and pygmy angels.

Livestock

Fishes-

1)Trio of Argi angels ( Bought 6 of them but ended up with 3, happily ever after since then :yeah: )

2) A pair of steinz shrimp gobies( The steinz gobies I have are of different variants, they have yellowish orange flame like tail fin which most steinz gobies do not have. In fact, they resemble aurora goby more.)

3)A pair of Chrysopterus clown( It was the first time, I saw so many pair of healthy chrysopterus clown in CF. Could not resist, and got myself a pair. For those that do not know, WC Chrysopterus clown are one of the most difficult fishes to keep due to the fact that they always come down with brooks)

4)Trio of purple flame gobies( Bought a pair but a nice friend gave me another pair. A weaker one was knock out and it stay 3 ever since :D )

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Recovering, used to be much worst... At least its not brooks *touch wood* :ph34r: Yea from sealife... Chrysopterus and black foot are some of the most diffcult clowns to keep, as most come in DOA or infested with brooks... Quite a sight when I saw such healthy blackfoot so I got a pair. :rolleyes:

wanted to get the blackfooted ones too. but scared my false perc destroy the living daylights out of them. make them from black foot to eat foot.

Occellaris are not that aggressive :rolleyes: Should have a better chance compared to mine :D Think my female chrysopterus would give the pair of blackfoot hell :pinch:
