Re: Proof - the work tank does exist!

The eel is truly classic. He eats from your fingers and can tell the difference between silversides and fingers without biting them. As far as eels go, they are the MOST mellow, smallest and least aggressive of the true morays. You can get a zebra moray, but they are not a true moray eel and they are dumb as a bag of rocks. Not to mention the zebras get upwards of 4 feet.

If you are thinking about an eel, the white-eyed is the one to get. Their eyes kinda remind me of the "googly-eyes" you can buy at the store and stick on scrapbooking stuff. They almost look fake.

As for the Yote pics.

Yeah, I could blame the camera, but it was the glass. It really is all scratched up. The move from Salt Lake City took a nasty toll on the tank and it ended up beat to he!!. There is no way to make pics look good cuz the camera focuses on the scratches since they are as wide as the Rio Grande.

Re: Proof - the work tank does exist!

Reef, I have a lot of fish in this tank and there are no signs of poor water quality. I did just lose the foxface. Not dead, just can't find him. I consider him MIA. until I find his lifeless body being ravaged by the serpent stars, he is just shy.

I have way more fish in this tank than what you were planning regarding your 75. They are fine and your tank will look great when you get it up and filled with those aggressive fish.

Re: Proof - the work tank does exist!

I guess that tank doesn't look too bad with such a limited budget. I spend about $25 a month keeping it up. Which is why there are no super cool corals there. Plus the blue ring tends to nip at things and kill them. He has not touched the silver-tipped xenia though.

Well, that's an optimistic way of looking at things! Good luck with that!!

Re: Proof - the work tank does exist!

So is that what happened to my red firefish that I haven't seen since I upgraded tanks? He's just hiding too? Lost in sooo much rock?

yes, or he found a happy place that keeps him entertained and he gets all the food he needs through the water column. In my book, no fish is dead until you see the rotting corpse.

Re: Proof - the work tank does exist!

A big check mark on the Niger and Blue Ring.I will definitely get those two fish.
I will most likely go with the Albino eel too.Unsure,it scares me just a wee bit.

If people are looking to get an acrylic tank,show them these pics..That thing is scratched to hell!Still,I can tell it looks good and you gave me some good ideas.
