Hey guys, my name is kyle. I am 15 years old, and have been keeping reef tanks since I was 11. I have been to a few BAR frag swaps, and really enjoy them. I am not completely new to the club, just the forums lol. I want to get more involved with the forums/community. This is my first actual post here on the forums. Before this account I went by Kylescorals by the way. I started a tank thread for my 28 gallon nano cube here - http://www.bareefers.org/forum/posts/283757/
I currently keep a 28 gallon nano cube with garden eels and seahorses. I also keep a 20 gallon frag tank and a 180 gallon mixed reef.
I have a thing for odd fish, I have kept orange spot filefish and dragonface pipefish before. My orange spot got a strange bacterial infection and died. It got like a giant puss ball inside of it, which I believe restricted it from eating as he got progressively skinnier and skinnier after it. I eventually figured it out when I picked him up and rubbed his side as a last measure thing that I read online, and all of a sudden puss started coming out of him... yuck. After I drained all the puss, he just swam down and stuck himself in the rockwork, and stayed like that till his death. He was almost at the 1 year mark My dragonface lasted a good 4 months before it died. I am still not sure of the cause, all I know is that he never ate, but there were plenty of pods in my 180 gal.
Just thought I would add on, at the last BAR Members frag swap, I won the borbonious anthias from the raffle. He is still doing great in my 180 gallon, and eating like a pig I will upload some pics of him later on too.
