SBB 275 Auctions plus 160 Fresh corals - Going on now!

[AKL1950]

Have you ordered from Dr. Reef before? I am always checking out his site but I've never bought from there.

Most of my big fish are from him. Three tangs, an angel and two clowns. All great fish.

Problem now is this is not going as well as I had hoped. Both the Purple and Powder Blue tangs are quite upset with a new guy in the tank. Turned the lights back off for a while. Decided to put a mirror up on the side of the tank where the CBB is trying to hang out. Lights back on and It may be working. The CBB seems to like staying right by its reflection and the tangs are afraid to get close to the mirror. They move closer, see their reflection and back away. Of course, the clowns are right there with the CBB messing with their reflections. Worse than a play ground with a couple of bully kids. Maybe things are calming down now. I’ve never seen the Purple and PB with their fins arched that high before, but now they are starting to look calm again and going back to algae grazing. They are definitely keeping a close eye on the new guy. The CBB is right by the algae clip.

Which hammer did you get this round @steveschuerger ?

Black and Decker

 

[steveschuerger]

Ok, got everything in. My only concern is the rainbow hammer snapped at its base and got jostled about a bit. See how it settles out. Pictures later, been a busy morning and early afternoon. So pics will be after they were put in the tank.

I've been so busy it is just sitting in the garage. My company fiscal year ends Jan 31st, so January was hectic. Sales kickoff was all Feb and then March was a wash. I actually took time off next week, so I'll finally put the stand together. Then I'll figure out the logistics of getting the tank on the stand in the house.

I settled on just getting a 60 gallon breeder for a sump and buying a sump kit from eBay. I wanted a Seapora 80gallon frag tank to make a sump, but those seem to be only east coast tanks. I was trying to find another 80 gallon with a low profile for a sump but came up blank.

Sounds good man, looking forward to see how you build yours. I'm on the fish stocking steps now and deciding what to add

This is what I got from UPS today

Shane said they pack for 48 hours+ and was very quick to remind me of his 14 day policy. Amazing customer service.

Love that Bellus angel!

Oh, you can't find the nudibranches? I'd check with a flashlight after lights out. Do you see them cruising around at all @Baby_Shark ?

I see them everyday around 1am. They hunt in packs.

Edit: i leave for work at that time.

Love that Bellus angel!

I’ve got a male and female. See them doing the courting dance quite often, but have never seen any eggs being dispersed. Maybe one day they will.

Wasn’t able to do an unboxing vid as I got stuck at work. I had my kids open the box and float them in the sump till I got home. Here is my haul. Everything from SBB on this one rack. No number on my sticker. Super pleased with my first SBB order!

Anyone used a harlequin shrimp for asterinas? Noticed some of the red back asterina in my tank so debating a shrimp for eradication.

My LFS has one and I could give it back to them after it ate them all.
