jebus from all this time of seeing you on this forum i thought you were a guy good to know the truth now


i like the hair algae look, makes it natural ! and you have 2 flame hawks, you buy them together as a pair? im interested in getting a pair of them. (though with english prices that will be hard!)


nice list of snail there as well! all looks wicked

 

[n3ont3tra]

Lol.

Yeah i got them as a pair.

Just thought I would mention, these cerith snails are TINY. less than 1/4"

I just caught up ... 30 minutes of reading and I was engaged the whole time. Great Job Keep this pics coming

Questions:
Where did you get your hawks from (liveaquria?) They're gorgeous. What do you feed your fish?
Also what type of LR did you get from Premium Aquatics?

 

[n3ont3tra]

Yeah I got the hawks from liveaquaria.com. Awesome website. Great customer service.
Feed my fish 2 cubes of either frozen hikari mysis shrimp, or frozen spirulina brine shrimp. I will usually throw a few flakes in too (ocean nutrition formula one flakes)
Sometimes I will soak the food in garlic extreme but usually I just put the whole cube in.

I started with 40lbs of Premium Fiji rock from premium aquatics. A while later I got 15 pounds uncured timora and cured it outside of the tank.

Thanks for reading!

Okay well I scraped all the algae off all of the glass, including the back. Looks a lot better and it's been almost a week and it hasn't come back. So the water changes definitely helped. I'm uploading a video and some pics now but its taking forever.

 

[n3ont3tra]

Okay here's the vid. There's some music too but it's just a random song that I've never heard before.

Well, it's my birthday. I got a camera and I ordered a torch coral. So it's good for all your guys. I'll take some new pics with my new camera when the new coral comes.
