The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread

FYI on the Longnose:
This is a fish that can be more of a challenge when it comes to feeding because its tiny mouth limits the size of foods it can consume. Its diet consists primarily of living marine organisms, such as amphipods and copepods, and therefore it is best kept in a reef tank or fish-only aquarium that is partially filled with live rock that has an ample population of natural prey organisms present to feed on.

Dragonettes (Mandarinfish) are like this. Sounds like if eats 'pods that it wants crunchy stuff.

Curing the rock. scrubbed it, was kinda nasty, but some sweet color came out of it. Doing a high sality dip 1.030-1.040 to try to chase out the badies that may be hiding inside tomarrow and then ill let it soak for a week, rinse and repeat!

actually with todays readings, it probably wont be to long. 1 ammonia 2 nitrites 3 nitrates. though just might not have started to spike the ammonia Cant remeber which one can be above 0 but still those are promising. evacuated a matis shrimp today, saw the little fugger diggin and dunked him in some fresh water, bastard came out and put the rock back in the tank. suprisingly big, probably 3/4 of an inch. flushed the bastard did the same with the rest of the live rock. chased out a couple of crabs. checked them, are good guys, put em back good news is no aptasia or whatever. at least as far as ive found so far. inspecting them with a magnifying glass. rock is suprisingly good quality. Just orderd 10 LBS more from a store down state, who gave me a much better deal than the local guy and the pics of the stuff they pulled for me is amazing! Also gonna send me some established livesand for me to start up the tank with

Shilia ill try to get pics of the tank soon for your impatient self!

This is my twelve gallon tank in the bathroom. This was from two years ago but it still looks about the same. It went through a crash during a heat wave when the water got too hot but recovered to about what it was before.
