My Very 1st Saltwater Aquarium... 24gal biocube :}

[TenUhC]

my maroon clown (from TenUhC) is scared of the damsel, even though he is bigger. Wonder if I get another maroon clown they will be more agressive

I told you he was a wimp. He was terrorized by a domino damsel. Your maroon probably thinks he is a prison girlfriend.

I just wished I had a video camera when it happened.

Like this? at BSL

LOL! Misbar behind bars

 

[TenUhC]

Yeah! Just like that except the maroon is the Angler. Lol.

Is your stand a refrigerator? That would be convenient if it is.

yes it is.. i stablized the fridge to make sure it would not wobble... i can put all my fish foods in there and i thought it was visually ok! Both my freshwater 30gal and 50gal have wood stands so i may at some time find one i like to move it over if i find myself changing it in some way

Oh i loved Tenuhcs maroon clown.. i wondered where it went..

 

[Vampyrk1]

I've thought it would be interesting to fill a good sized tank with a mess load of damsels and chromis. Would be the saltwater version of a cichlid tank LOL

Cichlids run both my 30 and 55 gal freshwaters.. they are difficult fish

 

[Vampyrk1]

Better pictures of my mean as hell Cichlid named Bullet! He killed everyone and everything so he lives alone!

 

[TechDiver]

I've heard that cichlids were difficult. The transition to salt may be easier than you think when you see how easy clowns are to keep.

 

[dzones]

Those are some very pretty cichlids.
I am sure you will come to adore your saltwater with all the variation of fish and inverts you can have.

Here is my rock i have to start with! I have used the peroxide method to clean it and hope to be able to use this with a few pieces of live rock and put it in tomorrow :clap2:

 

[TechDiver]

It is always exciting when you are getting started, but then it gets boring waiting for the tank to mature. It is worth the wait though.

 

[Vampyrk1]

Put in the rock.. Below sea level went above and beyond in waiting for me then helping with how to stack them.. i took pictures but couldnt make it exact so here is what i came up with... give me any advice u can on it!! I do want more coral than fish in this aquarium :}

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

Looks good.

 

[teddy13]

I think the aquascape is really up to the creators eye for what he/she likes as long as you keep in mind where the corals need to be in the tank n provide footing for them


and i like your layout.. i try to put mine so i can see all sides of the rock but put my corals to the front so i can see them.. may be why my anemones' like to go to the back lol

 

[Vampyrk1]

things r growing in there... Not a clue what they r....

The first and third pic looks like aptasia,a pest anemone,the second pic is a sponge.Gets some mrs wagers pickling lime to kill the aptasia.

 

[cschumaker]

I think the 3rd one may be a feather duster because of what looks like a white tube above it

 

[Vampyrk1]

Took care of the aiptasia and boy is the rock starting to get covered we r at day 38
