My new 29g FOWLR

Post by danielmiller82 »

About a month ago I started a new tank for the bedroom. I didn't want to deal with another reef tank so we went with a FOWLR. All of the LR came directly out of another tank that I was wanting to get rid of and I removed some from my 18g so there was really no cycle at all. A few days after it was setup, we took a trip to the fish store and my wife picked out this beautiful Yellow-Stripe Maroon Clown. We decided to call him the "Blue Raja" after my favorite Mystery Man. This thing has an awesome personality. We added some hermits to clean up after the clown. Yesterday I added a few more residents. 10 astreas, a Sally lightfoot, a small purple-maroon serpent star, a med. peach serpent star, and a bicolor blenny. This is the coolest looking bicolor I have EVER seen. He was very active in the store, but being so new to my tank, he has been hiding a bit, but he is getting more comfortable and has dug a little cave on the rightg-rear side of the tank so at least I can see him most of the time. I am thinking about adding one or two more fish. If any of you have any suggestions, let me know.

Here are some pics...

Seriously, practically anything that doesn't get big, isnt a blenny, damsel, other species of clownfish, or will be mutilated by the clownfish. Maybe some wrasse, cardinal, watchman goby,etc.

(Shark sounding pretty good right now, huh?)

I bought this Scopas Tang for my wife..and being the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy fan she is, she named him "Beeblebrox" he and my Yellowstripe Maroon Clown are now best friends. He is also a bit camera shy.

The new Citron Clown Goby I bought my wife tonight. This guy is a year or two old and already eats flake food. He is REALLY cute.

That bi color is the coolest looking one I have seen as well. Occassionally I will notice mine change color with a little stripage but nothing like that.

I'm kind of partial to clown gobies myself. :) Nice pics! I like the close up of the blenny.
