Lemon's butterflyfish dominated reef

[peacemaker]

wow didn't read the description lol. where do i find one of these?

I'm not too sure... mizu world has them. You could try giving Petmart a call. They usually have the lobangs to find things.

[Terryz_]

look at how healthy this fella's pair is.

should i add in a dither fish to my QT to socialise with my colini pair? perhaps monkey see monkey do and they will learn to feed too.

Since they are eating, no need to do anything further... It might backfire if they get stressed...

[yikai]

put some nori into the QT tank and saw them pecking on it. wether or not they are eating it, i don't know.

[Harlequinmania]

MY PRIDE AND JOY! a pair of very healthy and feeding colini angelfish.

Denizens of fairly deep water, these dwarf angels are notoriously difficult to acclimate. worst than multibar. However, these 2 are feeding immediately after being thrown into QT. better yet, they aren't fighting. a potential pair.

one of them is reserved for digiman though. so when he comes back i'm gonna have to split them up

Hi Angel fish ... Heard that you are in CF today, you didnt get the golden angel ?

Tank is finally here! A reminder of the specs before we move on.

3.5 x 3.5 x 2 feet.

3 panels of crystal glass

corner overflow

external sump.

here's a front view profile.

[yikai]

More pics!

[yikai]

crystal glassssssssssssssssss!!!

shot a picture through the 12mm glass. very clear

[yikai]

a picture of the cabinet. It's so huge that i can sleep in it! and still have space!

the sump is not going inside here remember? it's an external sump.

will probably use this giant space for future projects hehehe.

[yikai]

This is where the sump is going! in it's own cabinet on the right of the tank.

[yikai]

had vincent specially do the sump cabinet for me like this to facilitate easy maintenance! Top two door flaps and front 2 doors can be opened. meaning i can access it from the top and front! and the right side is doorless too.

[yikai]

Hydraulics SMOOTH!

[yikai]

and my NEW TOY!

[yikai]

Deltec SC2060. the new series. looks so sleek and stylish.

excellent workman ship on the air inlet pipe, drain valve and welding.
