hey ted what do u have in the bag floating in the back?

 

[Jep21]

Got to work today and couldn't find one of the firefish anywhere Hopefully it's just hiding. I was nowhere to be seen in or around the tank (including floor).

I am also removing the clam on Friday but will be replacing it with another colony of zoanthids. There is just not enough light in the tank for a clam! Still loving this little tank, but it definitely was never meant to be a reef.

hope he is ok bro..

Bag of carbon. I had a few left for an AC50, but now I'm using bags from the AC20 and you can't see them.

Stranger things have happened! I guess we'll see what happens when I go in tomorrow!

 

[Nxt]

That is an awesome setup..

I have a good spot on my desk for a setup like that..

 

[SkullV]

Well the 2nd firefish is definitly gone. Sucks, but probably for the better as far as bioload on this tiny tank is concerned.

On the plus side I'll be replacing the clam (Up for sale soon) with some nice rics from Mr. Microscope!

 

[SkullV]

A small word of advice. The EcoPico top is NOT sealed enough to keep firefish. I have lost both to jumping now . Probably just going to stick with the coral and my cleaner shrimp at this point......but I am going to a clown breeders house this weekend.

 

[poidog]

make a little netted top?

It would look bad. Either a less prone to jumping fish like a clown or no fish at all will be fine.

 

[Smitty]

Sorry to hear that Ted...I've lost every firefish I've had due to jumping.

 

[rattyE36]

do you still have the silly clown?

 

[SkullV]

do you still have the silly clown?

No sir.

 

[rattyE36]

No sir.

lol...what happened to him

 

[SkullV]

Newest FTS (iPhone hates these EcoPico strips!):

Added a bunch of zoa frags, swapped out clam for some rics. No more fish.

 

[rosko23]

Looking real good

 

[rattyE36]

WOW!! I'm so jealous! I need to start adding more new and awesome stuff to the 12G frog tank!

 

[The reefer]
