Don't forget to 'click' on the picture. Total run time is about 7 minutes. So please enjoy- then let me know what you think! Have a good night!

[michelle's ocean fantasy]

ok- now I feel bad. No one is letting me know what they think of the tank. Guess we are all caught up in Stace's project. But sorry the pics were late.
Ok- who has a bubble tip anenome? How do I move it to where I want it to be? Or is it basically just wake up and 'guess' where it will go on that given day?
How often to feed? He is the size of a large grape- and the day after I got him, he ate 1/2 krill. Thanks for any one's thoughts...don't want to over / under feed the little guy!

[plecosword]

I have been told to feed it once every 2 weeks I think, or twice a week, not sure.
and the video, Well WOW I live your sailfin tang! I really like those. but i dont know if i saw the anemone? Is it the tiny small red thing under the rock?
Nice tank!

[michelle's ocean fantasy]

Yes- it is under the rock in this picture- he is really SMALL. Glad you saw it. I was beginning to think I scared you guys off because it took so long to post the pics.
Am going for corals this weekend.

[plecosword]

sweet! what kind of corals?
And do you have a pic of the sexy tang? I just really like sailfins!

[michelle's ocean fantasy]

Here is another shot of "bubbles"

[michelle's ocean fantasy]

This guy is about the circumference of a pepsi can!

[plecosword]

hes hardly even visible in there! are those real urchins?

[michelle's ocean fantasy]

Glad u like him! haha - I am buying all small as I can so I can watch them grow !

[plecosword]

I just love that guy lol how is he doing?

[michelle's ocean fantasy]

The urchin I have came with a rock- it is a pencil urchin. Those shells (green/white) were in a LFS tank, the urchins had died and I asked the guy for the shells. They are nice I think.

[michelle's ocean fantasy]

Actually the tangs were bought/acclimated with the anenome- everyone is eating, swimming, etc- they come right up to the glass- Thought tangs were shy- not these guys. The sailfin will follow you from side to side, expanding his fins!

[plecosword]

woa! for real!! no way, they cant be shells, I guess that explains why they are in the same place on everypic! lol. they are nice.

[michelle's ocean fantasy]

Ooops- the anenome is moving- gotta go and see if I can direct him to the rock I want him on- night!!
(salifin says nite too!)

You are too funny- yes they are empty shells- and I like them, the firefish goby used it as a home! Darting in and out like crazy thru the tiny holes on top of them!

[plecosword]

Thats Cool!, Is this going to be a mixed reef? You probably like all the little criters like stace, I like the cave by the way. Its perfect for a gramma IMO

[Bamaguy]

Looks very nice! I love the Tangs!
I am planning on adding a couple of firefish to mine tommorow (1st fish!) I don't even have my first fish in my 90 and all of you are already tempting me to go bigger. I gotta quit reading these "big tank threads" at work. It's like going to the Ferrari dealership in the semi-new Nissan.

[plecosword]

Wow, IDK how you guys can be tempted into getting bigger and bigger. The largest I would attempt at my age would be a 150 gallon system. Am I the youngest person around here?

I'm 36 and although I would think about a bigger tank, I doubt I would be able to afford it after the wife left me.

[plecosword]

Oh Im sorry to hear that. We are making a smart desicion by keeping a tank we can afford right? I rather have a small, perfect tank than a large dessaster. 90g are so common now, why did you pic that tank size Matt?

My 55 gallon freshwater sat about six inches off the wall and I figured the 90 with a sump would fit perfectly in the same spot without alot of extra moving about.

[plecosword]

hmm, I like that size because it is the largest volume for 48" long, so the lightning would not be increadibly expensive.

[thelastmucci]

Michelle,
Your tank just looks...well large...I understand the whole buying small things to watch em grow but everything in your tank looks dwarfed by that HUGE piece of LR...it's not a knock just a notice. Also that song you have and maybe you were going for the reggaetone but it's REALLY REALLY annoying hehe. But it looks like it's coming along just fine. I do like the tang. As far as your "bubbles" goes anemones you basically feed him with the proper light. As far as where he/she/it goes...well that's usually up to the anemone. Hence why anemones aren't good for people with small tanks b/c they tend to either knock stuff down or sting other corals. So I'm sure once "bubbles" finds a spot it likes it will stay there. HTH

Mario....man is that a real eel of some sort. Looks like a bad sock puppet j/k if it is real it looks ginormous.

[plecosword]

Its a zebra eel, they most peaceful eel out there, and its real! IT kinda looks like its laughing lol.

[aquasalt]

I think your tank is one of a kind! I'm going to have to jump on board with mucci and confess that it was hard getting past the music. The only way you can get away with something like that is if the livestock is swinging to the beat.

Nice work though, seriously. It will really start to look amazing once everything starts turning purple. What kind of lights are you running again?
