Welcome to MR.


watch out for the tang police.
Hey there,
THank YOU! ...I know the Tang Police...they are everywhere...I haven't been flamed actually...I have been reefing for 12 years now...
The "Blenny" Dragonet has been in there since May, eats pods, and well pretty much anything i put into the tank, PE Mysis, Brine Shrimp, Plankton, Cyclopeeze...he is a fat little one...He was chilling at the top of the tank one day, and I threw some food in, and he went crazy for it and that was that.

Yeah the black clowns love them two...not sure if they were a pair before i got them...They were in a tank with about 15 of them...but these two NEVER left each others sides. They are adorable...they are hosting my Toadstool Leather and occasionally i have found them chilling in my Galaxea.

Plus no fluval...Aside from my sump i have a gutted Penguin 330 with LR rubble in it for extra natural filtration
