Not much, just floated the bag for 20 minutes then put him in a container and slowly added my water.  I dont have a QT tank he went right into the display tank.  You just have to find out what they want to eat.  Mine wont eat pellet or mysis but loves brine.

I have been thinking of getting one from live aquaria's divers den. Then just plunking it right in the dt. I have gotten several fish from la & none have ever had any problems. Just a gamble.

Just picked up a sweet Midas Blenny from PSP in findlay.  Here is my Livestock list:
Yellow Tang
Kole tang
Copperband Butterfly
Green Mandarin
Yellow watchman goby
Midas blenny
Pair of black clowns
(3) pj Cardnials

No more livestock for me, now corals, that is a different story.  I have my eye on a prize Lobo that I will be buying if I cant find anything cooler @ the frag swap in March.  I talk my self out of getting a clam every time I go to PSP, not sure why...

Mine does. I kept him with clams for about 2 years then came home one day to observe it having Crocea on the half shell. Have not been able to keep one since.

Kenn describes it well. It is Beautiful! So colorful, corals well placed and pic quality is great. Every coral looks healthy and the tank looks very well maintained. Nice job!

Thanks guys...  Its a work in progress, Ive had great luck with the KISS method.  Ive been keeping chiclids for ever just got into the salt scene about a year and a half ago.  This tank has been up and running since august.  Ive been waiting for the frag swap but I think im almost running out of room. :-[    I guess theres always room for Zoas...

All the help ive gotten on this site has helped me tremendously, Thanks

Not much to update, bought a few small frags at the bluffton swap
Orange one in front (forgot name)  I suck with coral names :-[


This one as well, love the color..  Just have to find a good spot for it, ill probably just break it off the plug and glue it to a rock.


On a crappy note my Copperbanded butterfly was dead when I got up today..  I knew it was comming, he just started eating less and less.  I tried all kinds of stuff to get him to deat different foods.  That was my second one and I will not buy another.  Too hard to keep IMO.  Now I have to find something else to replace him with.

Well I lost me prize Lobo the other day (red/blue one)  It got stung and withered away to nothing.  That really bummed me out.   I recently sold off some live rock to clear out a corner of my tank for another brain I got today.  This is the biggest brain Ive ever seen in a fish tank.  It measures 10" in diameter, it is beautiful!  This exact piece of coral is what made me go from freshwater to salt.  It came from a good friends tank who is taking a break from the hobby for a while.






A couple other brains doing great!  Im bit of a LPS freak!

My giant brain is setteled in nicely and has extended 1" measuring 11" across.  This thing is crazy big and hungry.  Pics dont do it justice.
