Title: Pictures of my FOWLR tank
Description: 29 Gallon

I finally took some pictures of my 29 gallon last night. Beware, though. They aren't from my digital camera, but from my Motorola 710 camera phone. 1.2 mexapixels isn't exactly super technology, you know. :lol: But the pictures did turn out halfway decent, do enjoy!

user posted image - I know my pictures of the yellow watchman goby aren't world class, but I did find this non-camera shy goby's picture.


Enjoy the pictures! The goby was really hard to get a picture of. He's the definition of camera shy. He'll come out and taunt me all day long, but as soon as I get ready to hit that shutter button, he flies back into the darkness of his cave. He can still see me, but there's no way my camera can take a picture when it's that dark.

So count yourself lucky to see one of the few pictures of this elusive creature!

:eek1: :D

The tank looks great, and good choice on fish selection. Keep us updated. :)

Thanks! Took me forever to work out the kinks. I think I'm going to order a small cleaner shrimp around mid may to make things more interesting. That other shrimp.... I have no idea where he went. I think he went down a hole that a bristleworm has been hiding in. Either that, or he's moved pieces of live rock, was crushed during the redecoration and moving rooms process, or is hiding with the goby. I'm sure if I turned the tank on at night, or found a flashlight, I would find him out cavorting around the tank after hours.

Thanks! I'm trying to think of things I can do to spice it up right now. I liked that picture of your anemone. I think I might have to wait until I can get a bigger tank. Maybe a corner tank for the house... 45+ gallons maybe? That would make for an interesting coral tank.

I'll try and post some more pics as I get the chance.

This saltwater tank is turning out to be one of the best tanks I've ever had. The fish are absolutely beautiful, and it's SO easy to take care of! I never knew how easy saltwater tanks we're. Much easier than my freshwater, that's for sure. Less maintenance, etc. Plus my wife really likes the saltwater tanks, so that makes it easier on me! :lol:

Nice tank I don't really understand how it could be easier though?

Well i think Im with Mazza, Saltwater fish do seem easier than freshwater. All they need is a protein skimmer and WALLA, less water change.

And Since my anemone found a spot it likes and won't move from it, Im planning on getting some mushroom and some zoo pretty soon. I can't wait :D

I'm looking into some zoo's and mushrooms right now.

- Bartier - I think it's easier just because you don't have to perform as many water changes. my 40 gallon was getting a 25-50% water change every week. Talk about a hernia. The saltwater tanks stay extremely clean. A friend of mine has a 55 gallon tank and only does a 10% water change MONTHLY. He spends an hour on his tank every month. Of course that doesn't include feeding or cleaning the glass.. His tank is staying extremely healthy.

Saltwater tanks are really fun, too. I can't describe how it's different from freshwater, but if you ever start one, you'll see what I'm talking about. It's a totally different world. Unique and exotic. The fish are so colorful. It's like your own ocean. I'm sure I'll be even more convinced that saltwater tanks are the way to go as soon as I can get my corals. I just wish I had a bigger tank so I could house an anemone as well as the fish I have.
