Fishies? Salty fishies?

[Braekedaun]

Heres my other upstairs occupant - the tank. Its a 150 extra high in a cabinet I made for it.

Beautiful tank, i'd love that!!

Very nice. I promise I will put some pics of mine up soon.I my salties. I have a yellow sided fairy wrasse, 2 Oscellaris clownfish{for years}, a candy striped hogfish, a tiny hawaiian bluespot puffer, a horned blenny, a psychedelic mandarin, a Lubbock's fairy wrasse,and an African Bluestriped pipefish. I also have a nano I set up for some shrimp that I have wanted since starting the hobby in 03' which only recently became available, called Emperor shrimp. I have a pair, and they hang out in a Fl ricordia. I added two tiny red striped gobies.

we need PICS! That nano sounds AWESOME! I love shrimpies, but they disappear usually in the depths of a large tank!

And I LOVE ricordea - (you got any good suppliers? I cant get them for less than $25 per ric up here, I can order them online for $15 a piece, but if I lived any closer I'd just drive with my snorkel!!)

Here is a teaser..they look like they have icing dribbled on them.

and here is a web pic of them

 

[waterfaller1]

OOhh..I forgot, just looked at him and remembered I also have a bristletail filefish!

 

[Birdlover]

Oh my goodness. I am drooling over here. Nice tanks!! I havent had fish in ages so its nice to enjoy yours!

 

[GG.]

YAAY Matt!! I was hoping you would post some pics of your tank - it is an awesome set up and I so enjoy looking at it.

 

[Braekedaun]

waterfaller, that is very cool!

Thanks, ya'll. As you know, its a work in progress, but I'm still happy with my "on a budget" approach to it! Now it comes to stocking it, its not as easy as building it!

Everyone should post pics of theirs too!

Wow beautiful tank, Braekedaun, I really love the look of the 150g x-high but short as I am I would not choose such a tank for myself. I have never actually seen one around here, what are the dimentions? Waterfaller, those shrimp are out of this world! They do look like they have icing on them.

 

[Braekedaun]

Thanks!

its 48 inches long, by 32 tall (i think) by 24 deep.

I'm 6'4" and I can barely reach the bottom front, much less the back. I've got a little clamp on a stick that I use to grab stuff in the back or bottom.

 

[waterfaller1]

LOL..I would be wet!

 

[Angelicarboreals]

That is so cool!!!!

 

[Blazeybird]

Y'all are killing me here! I totally miss my salty tanks. I will have to live vicariously through yours I guess.
Water I have not seen your nano yet, it must be a fairly recent project? If you wouldnt mind doing a thread on that, I would love it!!

how beautiful!

Looks great, I have a 135 gal . Let me see if I can find the pics.

 

[Robin]

Just took some new ones. I'm actually trying to sell it
Had enough of it, I've had it for 16 years but just started in the coral 2 - 3 years. I want to put a bird play ground there.

Nice tank Robin! Who is the oldest inhabitant in your tank; in terms of how long they've been there I mean The 135g is of similar dimention to the standard 125g I am assuming? The 125g is actually my all time favorite standard tank. I love long tanks and plus it is short people friendly I hope to have one someday. For now I only have the space for my 55g.

 

[Sarin]

Gorgeous!!

Nice tank Robin! Who is the oldest inhabitant in your tank; in terms of how long they've been there I mean .

Wow good question..... There's always some coming and going . About 3 years ago I had a big wipeout, and lost most of the fish and rebuilt so they are not really that old. I had a bad ick problem, it was horrible.
Speaking of the size, I have to use a step ladder to get into mine, and it is the long size 6 ft, but it sets up high on the stand it's on.
