Pictures

Below are pictures of the fish I am looking at right now. They are in the order listed in the previous post for today.

Got Goldfishes

Ok, most probably not in a saltwater tank, but made ya look!

I'm looking at fish so I can get an idea of what I want to put in the big tank. The list so far is as follows (not in any kind of order):

Firefish, purple - Nemateleotris decora
Jawfish, Yellowhead - Opistognathus aurifrons
Chalk Bass - Serranus tortugarum
Blue Reef Chromis - Chromis cyaneus
Blue Sapphire Damselfish - Chrysiptera springeri

I'll keep looking to see what I want, can host in my tank that won't out grow it in a year, or be too difficult.

Clarification of Purpose

Ok, just to clarify what this blog is all about. Here is where I am documenting the tanks that I have. The majority of posts will be about the 65g tank and the build process. I want to see how it all comes together especially on a tight budget with few interruptions and variances from the topic at hand. It is also so I can see how my tank matures over the course of its life. So please enjoy the posts and pictures that are yet to come.

Clean Tanks

So, I finally got the aquarium clean and found this guy in there. He was underfoot all day and I couldn't resist putting him in and taking pictures.

First couple of weeks

Well this build starts with a 65 gallon (gal or g) tank. I bought it from one of the guys in my aquarium club for $50. Not a bad price really. When I figure out how to add pictures correctly on here so that the entire picture can be seen, I'll start adding pictures. The first shot of the tank clean includes Fiyero, one of the most cute hitch hikers you have ever seen.
