Ok well not exactly wrong post. I was referring to the anthias.

I need to get some sleep. This business really cuts into my sleep. Who
needs sleep anyway :-)

They are not destructive to anything, they just need to eat several

All successes in conservation are temporary. All defeats are
permanent.

I am a reasonably advanced aquarist, and my fishys come fresh from the
collectors on da barrier.
Many don't ship so well.
Have never kept the Indian fish myself either
these that I listed are just a few I have picked out that I want.
Have none of them... yet
Gonna be ordering a lot more marine than that
thats what I do friend
order fish, set them up and sell them off
I also talk.... a lot.
Reef is my weakness.
I just always seem to add something destructive.
Last time it was a hermit crab.
I really like those anthias...... they are really nice.
I could always call the wholesaler and see how they look at his end?
I mean they really are really nice, I'd almost be game to try for a
species tank of them.

G'day.
 

Thats fine I like to feed my tanks through the day espec the puffers.
I also have no problem with fish only marine tanks.
I have large amounts of filtration and water change a lot
Thats cool as the Pacific is just over there ---
Cheers for the heads up on a school maybe working.
Would work well as the males are more expensive than females
so a pink boy and 3 or 4 bright orange girls would rock
Worst case scenario I'll try keep the tank stocked with shrimp heh heh

you're right Bill. I had to step up my feeding on the single anthias I
had. Unfortunately he never ate so all my other fish had gotten fat. :)
I should have mentioned that. Sounds like the poster has some experience
though so hopefully he'll pick up on that.

Thanks,

Bryan: Just a thought I was advised that a school of anthias, or chromis
will need allot of food because unlike other fish they are constantly
moving in the water column and there for have a higher metabolism.
Feeding the tank allot is not necessarily a good thing. Just my .02
worth.

You know gorilla, you might actually have better look with a school over
a single anthias. They should be fine either way but the school will
probably be more comfortable in a tank together, therefore eat. I've
done some reading on them about this.

Just make sure the vendor has been able to feed them in the tank. That
up's your chances quite a bit.

Good luck,
Bryan

OK I just scored a 6X2X2 to setup as a reef display.
heh heh
cool hey
going to hang some serious lighting over it, nice big chiller.
going to have to make some 'base rock' though (garf type) as tis a lotta
room and I want a nice arch in it.
I can't for the life of me figure it out but people want to watch fish swim
thru arches!!
Anyway once I get it thru it's cycle I will have a school of the anthias
You can view tank from 3 sides which is sweet too.
for now though nothing but blue damsels, bi-colour and coral beauty angels,
maybe a dotty back and some blue chromis for the 4 footers
all excited now.
been a while since I setup a new big salt tank.
rokin
ummm.... where do you guys post pics?
heres alright or a binarie ng?

websites it is then
I'm going to pack up one of me 6 foots at home so will cheat a bit.
bring a nice load of marine stuff into this thing to speed it all up.
Not exactly the sort of tank I can let go slow.
yea I know the nothing good happens fast call.
But how about something average that goes cool over time?
Decided today that while I go thru the liverock cycle I'm gonna stock this
one with a moray eel.
Have a cycled 450g otto cannister to throw on it, as well as about 25kg of
cycled lava baserock and 400L (2/3) of water from a mature tank so not
expecting much of a cycle even with a nice load of fresh liverock on top.
still one eel should do it
and the goldfish feeders shouldn't damage me algae to much
:-)
still this one has to look shmick and I want nice water before I blast it
with light and add me wussy corals
always liked feather worms too
wanna do something funky with an arch and them
could look good i recon

G'day.

Why do you come here?

You guys obviously need me. So here i am to stay.

Could you show us some pictures of your tanks, Master ?


Ah, young Grasshopper,

When you truly understand the chemical dynamics within the ocean in your
living room and all its splendor, then and only then, will I reveal my tanks
and all their splendor.

Grasshopper, you still have much to learn and I much to teach. Let me focus
on teaching and you on learning.


Told you I wasn't going to ruin the dude's post. But things like the
exchange above prove that you are a troll, and a prick.

TROLL, prick, whatever, I can be either, neither will make me lose
sleep. If I were a true Troll I'd argue with everyone, not just the
assholes.

I'm confident that whatever you have got your doctorate in, you have a
great deal more knowledge than me about. However, having a doctorate
has nothing at all to do with intelligence. It has to do with the will
power or lack of motivation required to stay in school for many years.

You stated that your doctorate is not in marine biology, or at least I
drew that conclusion from very strong clues. So you have no more
meaning to me than any other joker with a tank for 2 years.

You have called me stupid, for no reason other than I don't agree with
what you have to say. I have limited knowledge on aquaria, and so do
you. But, I admit it, and you call me stupid.

You further prove my point about Ph.D.'s being arrogant and pompous.
You, by definition studied a very narrow subject matter, that's what
Ph.D.s are for. So why do you come here with 2 years experience and
pretend that you know everything, you clearly do not. The danger of
giving you an advanced degree is it makes you think you're superman.
When in reality you are a complete waste of airspace.

The decent doctors who got their degrees to help the world, or to do
something other than have a piece of paper that makes them seem smart,
are fine by me, they don't brag, don't boast, don't even mention it.
They have made a decision and lead their lives in a way that interacts
with people well. you are just a douche bag with a piece of paper pinned
to it.


In the most recent post you've decided to stick your horribly large head
into you state that I'm wrong for saying "Because I did it, you can do
it" I clearly stated in every post that is not what I'm saying....I'm
saying that it worked for me, and might work for him. I know I
struggled to find the best way to do things when I moved. But
wait....isn't that your message....I don't change water, so in every
single situation it's ok for you not to change water. That could be
reworded into...."Because I did it, you can do it"...wow you're a
hypocrite too.

Hitler...check

Hey I appreciated it too.
I am having the devils own trouble getting pics online
me new lights are faulty but
I have a new 5 foot bank on order
when I finally get this reef display looking good
I'll be back
There are nice pictures to be in this display
very happy but ya
when this thing is stocked
it's going to be a whole new tankful of new problems
love it
w00000t
and yea
an education of the world
can flog any specialist

Phase 1 almost complete!
 

Just ordered.


1 banana wrasse
20 blue saphire damsel
6 reticulated damsel
2 barrier reef clowns
2 orange and 1 purple anthias

yes I know all common names
ya really need to know I can type 'em out
they are going in with about 85kg of now well cured liverock.
The tanks a 6x2x2 and I'm choke pointed waiting for my lights.
Also have a pair of lawnmower blennys (peacocks) and lotsa snails etc

no I have no pics
yet
but it's all still coming along
these things take time
of which I have none.

Phase 1 almost complete!
 

Question!
Are you going to introduce them at the same time?
I hope you get your video camera ready and prepare yourself for some
astonishing gladiator fights...
I hope you liked the movie Gladiator because the two blennies are going to
give you a good show.
Then the 26 damsels are going to define their territories soon.
Since the damselfish are also anemonefish, they will see the clowns as fair
competition.
Please tape the outcome, it will be interesting to see if they all can live
together in this aquarium.
I may be wrong but you are up for a great battle.
Keep us informed please. We can all learn a good deal about your
initiative.
