jolt Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Good luck on your next phase, the fish look healthy and active from what I can see in the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 I haven't seen mine either, but apparently that's common. I'm not sure if I'm talking myself into it, but I think some of the aiptasia are gone. I have noticed that a large one that was on the rock is no mas so I'm hopeful.

I've been fortunate in that all the fish have been doing great. I have noticed some very mild coral growth too. One of my RBTAs has tripled in size in the last 2 months which is a good thing. At this point, I'm just going to get back into the WC routine, let the system settle a bit longer and then start adding some corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Update time! We moved to Georgetown over the weekend. Moving a big tank is a royal PITA. Everything went fairly smoothly. But. (You knew it was coming). I lost half my fish. We had them all in a giant cooler (henceforth known as the Cooler of Death) that Cafe Racer Mike provided for the move and overnight after the tank got set back up. I put an air stone in there and a few rocks. Woke up the next day to much sadness. Lost a male Clarkii that I've had since 2009, Mama's old sailfin tang I've had since ~2010, 3 anthias, starry blenny, and my splendid dottyback.

It is a shame you lost so many fish in the move.What part of Georgetown did you end up in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb in Austin Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Uhhhhhh.... I dunno. We back up to Cimmaron on the west. We are kinda close to the Zoot Vet place. There is some event center right across from our entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb in Austin Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 The good news is I was able to get a few replacements from LiveAquaria's DD. Got a kole tang, blonde naso, starry blenny, and a red serosa dottyback in bound. Now, to find a purple tang and some more anthias.... Larry; yep. It's sprouting quickly though. There was 1 house being built when we started looking at the end of May and there are now 5-6 that are going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was 1 house being built when we started looking at the end of May and there are now 5-6 that are going. It is good that you are getting some replacement fish, I was always a fan of schooling fish when I was doing planted tanks but it seems like a lot of people with large saltwater tanks seem to neglect the schooling fish somewhat. If you need any suggestions for restaurants and what not let me know, my family has lived here for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Yeah, love the schooling look. I'm debating on upping my chromis count too. We may have to start a Georgetown Reef Club. There are 2 other folks up there/here I know, though they don't post much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryD Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I would be game for a Georgetown reef club but I don't know how long I will still be in the area as I am still in find a job after graduation limbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+o0zarkawater Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Update time! We moved to Georgetown over the weekend. Watching Chris/Mike/Dave Moving a big tank is exhausting. Fixed that for you. I was thinking rather than a Gtown reefers club, cuz that's just not necessary, we could do a tour of tanks up here sometime. Get some of those South Austinites out of their comfort zones and see HOW WE DO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
