Wow who makes that setup? It is really nice looking.

[wgama]

The tank and original stand was made by oceanic and the sump was made by Kelly from The Reef Shoppe in lloydminister but the was no room in the stand for a sump so my dad re made the stand to accomodate it.

[Snaz]

Very nice. Sleek and neat. Have fun!

[wgama]

Ya it has doors too we just didn't put them on yet.

I got some new live rock for my tank yesterday!! I alreday had about 55lbs in there but got 50lbs more. I will be selling 25lbs of it to a local reefer.

Are these aiptasia?

[ILIKECOUGARS]

Looks like Aiptasia it to me.
By the way, nice score on the other hitchhikers.

[wgama]

Thats kinda what I thought it was but I also thought that it might be a rock anemone becasue this guy had a few of those in his tank. They were kinda cool they had nice patterns on them.

[hillbillyreefer]

Tank looks really good. Your off to a great start. Did you get that red halymenia or whatever that macro algae is from Kelly? If so it came from my tanks.
I leave it in the display too. It kind of adds a nice bit of color.

[Snaz]

+1 Aiptasia but otherwise great hitch hikers!

[wgama]

Actually I got the red algae from the guy who I got the rock from. Kelly didnt have any. Unfortunately there are at least 3 of those anemones and 2 or 3 other anemones that i think are rock anemones they have thicker tentacles and pretty paatterns on them. I was thinking of eventually getting some berghia nudibranches or some other creature who eats the aiptasia.

[ILIKECOUGARS]

You can try peppermint shrimps to control the aiptasia. As for berghia nudibranches thats all they will eat, once all the aiptasia are gone they will die, plus there are poor shippers.

[wgama]

guess I wont get one of them, didn,t realize they would not eat anything else.

[wgama]

Yay!! more pics!!

[noirsphynx]

Are these aiptasia?

Definitely looks like it to me.

EDIT: LOL, Guess I should learn to read the whole thread first, lol. I just noticed all the replies:mrgreen:

[hillbillyreefer]

I like your rock work, tank is off to a good start.

[RSM2008]

The last two are indeed aiptasia.
The rock is awesome! Where is it from? Was it fresh to the store when you got it? great HH mushrooms.

[wgama]

I got the rocks that have the hitchhikers on them from a fellow reefer who lives in cold lake.

[wgama]

I put 2 turbo snails and 2 electric blue hermit crabs in the tank on the 22 of January and they are doing very well so I will be picking up the rest of my clean up crew this weekend at The Reef Shoppe in llyoydminister. I destroyed those nasty little anemones after accidently being stung by one ouch!!! I used a product Kelly at The Reef Shoppe sold to me called Aiptasia destroyer by Tailored aquatics. It works great it didn't hurt anything except for the aiptasia anenomes and it just dissolved into the water after it was done destroying them.

I was in Lloyd yesterday for a bowling tournament so I went to Black Ocean Aquariums, I had never been there before its nice! I got a blue tuxed urchin and some really nice zoanthids that are bright pink, yellow and purple. After that I went to The Reef Shoppe and got 1 egg cowrie, 3 narcissus snails, 2 turban snails, 2 nerites snails, 2 cerith snails, some wite star polyps and a pink spotted goby( he is so cute). All of this went into this tank ( no more room in my 14 gallon :( . Ill posts some pics ASAP!

That makes three of us. I bowl too. 10 pin of course, 5's are for old ladies:mrgreen: In fact our family owns a small bowling alley.

How can you bowl 10 pin? everytime I go in there they tell me they don't do 10 pin anymore:question:

[Rbacchiega]

I'm a 5 pinner...10 pin...pch. Big balls and the pins are closer together. Not to mention the fact that before I wrecked my shoulder I used to average 200 in 10 pin, and didn't bowl in leagues there. My 5 pin average is 231 currently though...

fyi, this thread has been hijacked

[ocean diver]

Yes those are aiptasia

Very respectable avg.'s Funny, my sister bowls 5pin and her avg. is 233. Sounds like a good match up. Dave, the 10 pin are still there, just not used as much.

Sorry, about hijacking the thread. I'll shut up now.
