Wow, looking good.
I like the tall tank look. That hydrometer is a POS. I bought one too as a quick & dirty check for one of my tanks but the float is way too easily influenced my currents in the tank. If you want to get rid of some mushrooms I could trade you for a clownfish. Andrew |
Great looking nano, reminds me of when I first started in salt water :biggrin:! If you like the mushroom I would keep it where it is, still lots of room between the zoas and the shroom. I actually have a few species of zoas and mushrooms grown together and they are doing just fine.
As for your purple up make sure you use in very small portions, the product is pretty much a calcium supplement so over using it in a nano tank can throw your levels out of balance. You a LoL player by any chance? |

I must say that Hydrometer is straight up a POS for sure hahaha. You'd think that something made from a company like that would make a good hydrometer... The mushrooms are called for now; but ill be getting Zoas in return! Thanks for the interest. I'm still torn on keeping the smaller mushrooms or not.... Quote:
I been itching to get a new larger tank started, but not till I move out. Gotta keep the priorities straight hahaha. Now im really thinking of just keeping this mushroom hahahah. I like him so much... The problem with small tanks is that you don't have much room for variety in the livestock... and that sucks.... Oh and the calcium doses I eased into them nicely starting with just 1ml. Now im doesing just 1.5ml more then im supposed to and the purple is growing great same with the corals. Everyones just taking care of themselves right now :wink: And no LoL here. I waiting for Diablo III to come out before I hit the games again! |

Buut im pretty sure hes a bristle worm. No red color on him at all. I see him during the day and he looks just like a bristle worm to me. No damage on anything sooo who knows. :twised: |
:question: Lately ive been reading up some more on Pom Pom crabs and im pretty sure I want one still.
Does anyone know how many I can have in a 20 Tall? Ive read alot about them being pretty aggressive to each other when theirs to many. If I has a paired set of pom poms would I be able to house both of them in the 20 Tall? I wouldn't mind if he held zoas instead of both his anemones, but I was wondering how do the zoas he hold survive if hes nocturnal? (Many accounts of them picking up small zoas, aptasia, or corals in replacement of missing anemones.) If he still has the anemones will they hurt the zoas or anything in my tank? Theirs a lot of random information floating around saying "With Caution" in reefs and others saying "Reef Safe". |
A bunch of new livestock this past weekend.
From planning to go to different stores in Calgary, I got sidetracked at Golds and just ended up picking up a bulk load of stuff. First up to replace Jacques my first Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (lysmata amboinensis) Jacques Jr. he has muuuuch longer feelers then Jacques Senior. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...F/DSC02006.jpg Posing with the bristle worm! http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...F/DSC02007.jpg Zoas from Golds Blue Skirts - Orange Mouths Grey Skirts - Orange Mouths Purple Skirts - Pink Mouths Brown Skirts - Orange Mouths http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...F/DSC02004.jpg Ahhh I hate this stupid frag plug!! Looks so unnatural but the Colony already was spreading onto it... http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...F/DSC01980.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...F/DSC01982.jpg I also aquierd a Orange Skirt - White Mouth Zoa colony, and Neon Purple Skirt - Goblin Green Mouths. Id take a picture of them but there mounted pretty far back from my cameras ability to capture focused pictures. Ill try to get pictures when they are a bit bigger. :cry: Spotted Mandarin Goby (synchiropus picturatus) from Wai's Aquariums When the Mandarin was being bagged the first bag broke open. I should have taken that as a heads up with the next bag, but while opening his bag to drip him as I pulled off the elastic the bottom of the bag broke open (BOTH BAGS!) and the Mandarin slipped in. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...F/DSC01985.jpg Thankfully he survived and is eating happily around the reef :biggrin: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...F/DSC02008.jpg Stomatella snail cleaning off my largest Astrea snail. The Hermit killed a snail the other day... He didn't even use the shell. Now this Snail just hides behind the frog spawn every night. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...F/DSC02002.jpg The Bristle worm is quite friendly now. Hangs out with all my fish no problem. Even seen the Mandarin floating on him with no aggression. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...F/DSC01974.jpg |
1PM and the lights are all on.
