Bo I must be the luckiest guy in the world. NOT


After having my first aqua pod cracking upon filling it half way up.



My new bio cube has a bad ballast.


I contacted the LSF that I bought it from, and they told me if oceanic doesn’t help me they will give me a new ballast from another bio cube.

I just talked to oceanic,ffice:office" />

They are very easy to work with. Adam stated that a new ballast would be shipped out today or tomorrow.


P.S.

I also purchased a pseudo chrome to establish the filters and sand.

I found this guy in my bio cube.


He is a hitchhiker from my 155.

I didn’t buy him. He showed up in my Nano the other day.


I have been looking for him since I first saw him ,of course I haven’t seen him whole, either he molted or my wife’s puffer got the little sucker
From what I have heard on another board I frequent he is a gorilla crab.
I could post the pics of it but they are useless.
Here is a link to a good pic of the little sucker. Same pink, same mean looking claws http://www.tampabaysaltwater.com/th...gorillacrab.jpg

new fish


Well we added a hog fish to our Nano this weekend. He is a fast little sucker.

I have been trying to get a good picture of him but he wont stay still long enough to get a good picture.

So here is a link to a picture like him.

he will eventually go in my 155 with my bamboo shark when he gets larger.

Right now he is a Juvenile about 2 ½” long. He gets along well with the Toby puffer.

Some updated pics and info



Ok my first fish in my nano is a little pink thing my wife wanted to have. Well after that fish disappeared after 2 weeks we added her puffer after about 3-4 weeks.

Sunday night I was watching the nano and I saw the little pink fish after not seeing it for weeks.

Now I have a red slim outbreak in the tank. If I remember right this will go away on it own correct?
I also added some cooling fans that come on when the lights are on, to help keep the temp stable.

Sal 1.025
Nitrate 0.00
Nitrite 0.00
Am 0.00
Phosphate .005 if I read it right. Will be adding some phosban to a bag in the filter tonight.

Temp 76-78

Nice looking picture of your tank, coral and fish. I really like the puffer fish. How is he doing in your tank? Have u had any problems with him?
