Brianemone Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 they wouldnt be my first choices, i might look at a copperband butter fly and setup a little breeding station for the aipstasia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimera Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 i might look at a copperband butter fly and setup a little breeding station for the aipstasia i hope that was a joke. what size is your tank again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 about breeding the aipstasia or getting a butterfly? i think i like the long nose butterflys a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 the new tank is 110g i wouldnt get one for my current tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 about butterfly's eating aipstasia. you would be considered lucky to get one that does. i know cookies one does, but most don't (from the numerous FAQ's I have read on them. interestingly, sites that sell them say they do, consumer reports and feedback from reefers on forums say they mostly dont). they are 'hardish' to keep. that will be my next and last fish purchase. although i will wait at least 6 months to ensure the regal is 'at home' first what LxWxH dimensions? was it 4 foot, i couldn't see back on the thread what size you ended up going for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 1200x700x500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianemone Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 if i wasnt so slack it would be finished by now. i just cant be bothered sanding the putty. chimera, you know you wont be able to stop at just one more cookie, i dont think the general public would appreciate that billboard A copperbanded butterfly will be the last fish i buy once my regal angel is at home....... Yeah right :-? sorry just immagined the thousands of confused people sitting in rush hour traffic thinking, what the?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 i just cant be bothered sanding the putty sounds like the weatherboard on my house... chimera, you know you wont be able to stop at just one more sorry, was having a momentary lapse of reason. i think i'll call my next fish floyd.

Brianemone Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 cabinet is now pretty much finished, i just need to plain a little bit off the right hand side of the front to give a slightly better fit, and get the magnet attachments for the door. im fairly happy with the way it turned out and even claire likes it enough to say that she doesnt mind having a tank that big anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskisteve Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Get the plastic clips for the doors as magnets rust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianemone Posted September 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 i moved everything into the sump and moved the cabinet to its permanent home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted September 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 what style of bracing is best for a tank of my dimension??? 1200x700widex600 tall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 i have finalised the order for my tank, i should be able to pick it up friday or early next week. im rethinking my sump design though, not enough room to move stuff around putting things in and taking things out.
