 This is my 75 reef

Some day I will have a better tank!!!

I like how all your fish are in the same vicinity. At least you dont have to worry about them not getting along.

[jschrader1]

yes there is basically no bickering in this tank. not like my 210.

WHICH ONE DID YOU PUT THE PURPLE TANG YOU JUST GOT IN?

[jschrader1]

THE 210, He came out and ate a lot today, starting to throw his weight around a little.

A LITTLE WAIT A WEEK OR SO AND HE WILL THINK HE OWNS THE TANK

Your tank looks great.  Is that an eel in the background?

[larrynews]

not that its my tank but its an engineer gobie

Does your frogspawn or hammer always stay retracted like it is in the photo?  My frogspawn has started staying partially retracted since I've added my new lights so I' not sure whether it is the flow or the lights.

Yeah... I just noticed the engineer goby hanging out under the rocks.  Do you have your rocks epoxied together or on rods?  Or does he actually not dig all the sand out from under the rock?

I had a 10" in one in my 125 FOWLR.  He was sweet but thought the entire tank was his and he needed to rearrange everything.

Theres actually a pair of large engineer gobies in there. everyone thinks they"re eels. i laid all the rock out very carefully before i added sand, haven"t had any problems with shifting. no opoxy or rods or anything. Good eye seeing him.

My frogspawn and Hammer are usually even more retracted than they are in the picture. i was just talking to Dodd about that and bought some cyclopeze to try feeding them. maybe that will help. I do have them shy a little bit when i add new bulbs. i guess they not used to the intensity or something. not sure what to do there. mine usually adjust. i've had them over a couple years now maybe longer.

I moved my FrogSpawn from a Medium flow area to a low flow area and they practically exploded.  I need some more cyclopeze (sp) to feed them and my hammer. But right now they are huge.  This has 3 heads with one in the process of splitting over the past 2 months.....

Wife showed interest in the tank when I went to Gerbers with her and the kids once (before I found NDR and Aquarium Etc) and reallly really wanted the little engineers.... So we bought 3.  They are very cool but will push the issue of my FO in the basement in about a year..... They tend to get big.

glad to hear they're doing good. frogspawn have to be among my favorite and i love the pink and green. I've had pretty good success with then also, they seem pretty hardy. although i learned the hard way to avoid camel shrimp. man they were a chore to get out of my tank. had a couple really nice frags and found the camels just ripping them to shreds.
