Fishman, the flame hawkfish still going good?

[Fishman]

Depends on which one you are talking about. My first one disappeared after a couple of months. I suspect it jumped, but never found it. I got another shortly after and have had it ever since. He is doing very well. He has a lot of personality and is the biggest maco around. He never misses a beat. LOL.

Cool reef fish man looking REAL good . Thanx honda. I thought it hardly had SW/reef hobbyists in trinidad.

[HondaB20B]

The guys name was Patrick ChooFoon. He was one of Trinidads top artists and was living in St Anns at the time............ (no, not in the looney bin............lol) Actually it was back in 89 or 90 when i was now doing my open water or advance PADI, we were diving in Scotland bay when i saw this guy catching fish with nets. He had now surfaced with a juv french angel and a queen. We spoke and after some mths i got to see his 48"X24"X30 SW tank that had allot of live rock, zoas, various sponges and a 6" eel. He had a 3ft sump with bio-balls and coral rubble and the skimmer was one of those that had the wooden air diffuser in it. He had moonlights and everything. One thing though, back then SW tanks really did smell fresh. He also had a 3ft tank with some seahorses that he caught right down the islands................................

Nah the azoo pump is different. The pump i'm looking for has a relay in it that remains open (off mode) when its plugged in and current is flowing to the circuit. When power goes, the relay closes (on mode) and the air pump runs until power is restored. The azoo constantly stays on and when power goes it just keeps on running off battery power. Dont want an airpump thats costantly running...............................thats not good for saltwater tanks.

[BAZZINGA]

Guys I'm in the process of setting up a new tank 72x18x36. It was supposed to be a fresh water for my son ( he's only five months and likes to look at the fishes already) so I was thinking I'll just make it a long term project and create a salt instead. I know the first answer I'm going to get is use google and believe me I have. I've more or less got all the major components I will be ordering. Basically im mimicking a couple setups from reefcentral in terms of equipment. What I was wondering is there anyone locally who can really guide/ help me setup and maintain so that I can avoid wasting unnecessary moony and time ?

[ryo]

to get the shrimp you looking for go by Salibia bay between the river and sea they does be right by the edge.Its not the type you have on the pic it's somethng like a ghost shrimp.

some major info that anyone may ask that will help you along the way.

1) Have you ever kept any kind of fish (freshwater) on the whole. Reason i ask is if you have kept freshwater fish before then its easier to maintain a saltwater tank because of your knowledge.

2) What are you interested in, a FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) or Reef.

3) If you going reef, what type of reef,
a) SPS
b) LPS
c) Mixed

4) 72"X18"X36".......... is the 18" the width or the height.

5) What lighting system were you looking at, MH, LED's, T5's, combo's

6) Filtration........... does the tank have an overflow system/drain, are you going to use HOB filter or cannister

7) Whats all the major parts were you ordering
Pumps - both for circulation (powerheads) and for return (if required)
Skimmer
Chiller (if required)
others - reactors, ATO, timers meters, test kits, RO/DI unit, etc

Just some of the info needed so far...........................
