New tank. ADA 60-F Bommie style! 9 gallon shallow

Hey; what a kind thing to say! - I'm over by 95th and western - shoot me a pm and we can work something out!
 
Hey Rosko lemme know when u wanna swing by milks place. I gotta see it.

Btw. Milk.. don't buy a refugium light. I have one for u. A little tinkering and ur good to go.
 
LOL - well guys - not to disappoint but I will be very hard to pin down with my schedule up until late june... I'm like a centipede, all over the place up until then. But the tank will be 6mo+ old by then and hopefully be to your liking! - hell shall freeze over yet until I complete this ruddy coursework.
 
some boring, hanky tanky shots from this evening -

so - caught the lil guy snoozing in front of the tank as I did my nightly scan after a few hours of lights off... opening and closing his mouth in half second increments, well... like a fish lol. The color change is pretty incredible too.

yeah - they have unusual sleeping habits - i've tried several times to scour every section of the tank looking for him after lights out (not a big tank/ places for him to hide).. can NEVER find him@!
 
My poor mandarin jumped out of the tank while I was away for the long weekend. Very sad, what a great fish that responded so well to the prepared foods training.

I can't think about losing another fish like this again - going to build a cover, probably netting, over the top . The search begins for a design that will blend with the tank's rimless look and not obscure or distract from viewing.
 
Very sorry for your loss. It's nice that you got that great picture so recently at least.

thanks guys - yeah - I'd never seen him exhibit any kind of startled behavior... but all fish are capable of jumping..

Anyways - the fish can be tallied to the list of successfully trained mandarin on prepared food in a nano tank.

There is no worse feeling than getting on your hands and knees looking for the probably unrecognizable, dried remains of a beloved fish on the floor... I buried the body in my garden, hopefully his molecules will turn into a tomato that'll I'll slice into a party salad.. yum!
 
clownfish has completely healed after added garlic supplement to her rations..

and! Tank is officially 6 months old, yeehaw! celebrated with a shave, some exquisitely aged brie cheese and a nice big water change today!
