Very nice! You can actually like the picture into your post by clicking the picture button and copy and pasting in the direct link.

But funny story, when i first saw your post, i though you had a put a frog in a saltwater tank. And i was kinda excited thinking it might actually be a saltwater frog and afraid you had stuck something in there that would die. And then i realize, it was a frog spawn :)

Using my blackberry and can't figure that out yet.

While doing a water change last night I tried to suck up some the crushed coral bed but its to big and won't siphon out. I need a new plan any suggestions?

 

[little_fish]

get a bigger tube? Or scope out a little bit with a cup.

I know this is not a build thread but I thought I would post an updated shot of my tank. Changed the rock around a little and added a few more lbs.

You could always ask a mod to move it for you! And it looks great!

So here is the most recent pic. I am done with rock now and I am moving on to stocking the tank. My clownfish is gone disappeared about 5 days ago and no sign. All that is left for fish is my blenny. I would like to get a couple of new clownfish to pair up. Which kind would be best?

 

[little_fish]

I think just about any clown will do fine and pair up in your tank. But i would stay way from the maroons if you want to add another fish after the clowns, or add them very last.

Sad but good day I guess. My blenny has now died. I couldn't figure out what was going on. I took some water to the lfs and turns out my test kit is not good and my nitrates are at 40+. I have been testing and my kit was saying zero. Since there are no fish left just a couple shrimp and my cuc I am going to be making the complete switch to sand over crushed coral. My lfs guy is going to keep my corals and my shrimp there until I get things sorted back out. I am also going to set an overflow with a sump I believe.

I am completly open to suggestions from the seasoned vets out there. This part of the hobby really sucks!! I am going to try and get it set up right this time. I feel like I know alot more this go around.

 

[little_fish]

Just stock slowly after you make the switch and i think you already have a very good idea about what will work and what wont for your fish and your system.

 

[mtkid6]

Thought I would stop in and post a new pic. Things have come along a little ways since the last picture.

 

[mtkid6]

Here is a full tank without the hammer. Just picked that up a week ago.
