Changes and New Arrivals to my tanks...
Well, I made some changes as of late to my tanks in the last few days....I finally moved on up to Metal Halides over my 65g reef....Its a single 250w mh (Icecap) w/ a 10k Ushio bulb. I removed the pc's from this tank but left the 110 w of vho on the tank so that Im sure everyones getting enough light. I just fired them up yesterday and the mh looks great compared to those pc's and w/ the vho assistance. My long tentacle anemone seems quite happy w/ the upgrade as well. there is a bit more evaporation but thats a small price to pay. For my 45g reef I acquired a few new fish.....my percula clown pair died off for no apparant reason about a month ago along w/ my yellow tailed damsel so I felt a void in the tank. So i got 2 maroon clowns. Both of them are around the same size and both were tank rased but they do NOT have much love for one another. the second they hit the water both of them went for my hammer which is where the perc's used to reside so I was optimistic thinking they were going to be instant buddies. But after about 20 seconds.....the battle began. They really went at it for about 10min. and now they both stay at their respective ends of the tank. The one that got ran off the hammer seems like he's scared of his own shadow now while the other seems like he's doing just fine. I hope they decide to be buddies because They are both quite healthy looking and beautiful fish. I also ran across another kind of finger leather so being the softy lover that I am, I picked it up and put it in my 45g as well.
I also ran across a "Labodda Wrasse." Which looks alot like a fairy wrasse of some sort and was very much interested in it. He's about an inch long and am considering getting him once I find info. on him. If any of you can fill me in about them I'd appreciate it. In the meen time Im going to run a search on here and see what I turn up.
Thanks.
Jon
