The Puffer Forum

As some of you know, I don't have a puffer anymore, but wanted to post some pics of my tank. I'm loving SW!

Bummer! I can't get the full tank shot resized down enough. Oh well.

WOW!

Thanks PC. Got these 2 shots resized. Yay!

Very nice indeed. That's kinda the direction I am shooting for, very pretty tank

New Rose bubble tip I got today. Seems to have found a nice place in a rock crevice

How long has your tank been stable?

This tank has been stable for a bit over 6 months now. It's doing very well, so I feel lucky. All fish and corals are really thriving. I know I'm taking some risk with the RBTA, but he's still in the same spot this morning, and appears happy I even have a Mandarin Dragonette, that is doing very well. Have had him about 6 weeks now. His name is Adonis - a real beauty!

Is the dragonet eating prepared foods?

Not that I've ever seen. I started out when I got him with lots of pods, even had mysis shrimp in my sump, and presuming also in the tank, but just to be safe after about a month of keeping him I ordered from Reefs2Go, 500 mixed pods. He is always hunting on rocks, and I'm pretty sure he only eats live pods.

nice colorful frogspawn. nice rockscape. its coming along nicely

How large is your tank & is there a refugium? Keep in mind, they eat their weight in pods, daily.

Tank is a 75 gallon with a 15 gal refugium. I assume pods continue to breed and there should be a good food source. Over time, I'll always order more, but I don't think I need to yet.

My anenome expanded so big today. I hope that is normal. Here's a shot. You can't tell by the picture, but his tentacles reach up and from base to tip, he's about as big as my hand.
