Happy Labor Day BRS !!

[125tank]

Hi all, :w

My name is T, currently a college student at Salem State. I've been in this hobby for more than a year now with my 125gl reef. My tank has been sumpless until 3 months ago and everything is go fine. Here is a list of what i currently have :
Flame Angel, Blue Hippo, diamond goby, pink spotted watchman goby, blue spotted goby, cleaner wrass, royal gramma, marine betta, 2 maroon clown, spotted mandarine, 2 cleaner & 2 fire shimps, lawnmower blenny
Aussie Elegance, Pearl Bubble, GSP, Zoos, Mushrooms, hammer, frogspawn, Ricordias, Toadstool, Brains, Yellow Sun Paly
I'm in the pursuit of a yellow wrasse (ordered twice but both are dead upon arrival ), a copperband butterfly, and more corals. And just ordered a Octopus NWB-150 skimmer yesterday, hopefully it'll arrive soon.
It's awesome to know that we have a forum for Boston area. I'm really looking forward to get to know more people and trade our experience about this great hobby. :.

I just lost an auction @ Aquatic Auction on an Aussie violet tip elegance. It was my first time bidding on AA so didnt have much experience, the elegance is gone with the price of $72.. unbelievable >"<! Anyway, here they are, some of my fav pix. Sorry i dont have a full tank shot because it's 72'' long and i couldn't get a nice clear shot out of it. Enjoy

that is a sweet harlequin shrimp. i've never seen them with the red before only blue.

yup, harlequin shrimp is one of the awesome creatures, i could not hold my laugh everytime i see 'em walk around! I used to have both blue and pink but the pink is gone, i guess bcuz it was too old...

Thanks! About the betta, definitely you won't see it swimming around like other fishes, but that's its own characteristic and a lot of people like it that way. It's very calm and the way it moves, unbelievable beautiful. I have had it for about 1 year now and it's doing great, i feed it frozen brine shrimp. Don't expect it to come far off of the rock work to catch the food, it only grabs food that is rite about its mouth Anyway, marine betta is awesome to have and you won't get bored of it because you don't see it all the time
