Default just some pics of our tank stuff

These are pics of stuff from my hubby's tank. It's only a 10 gallon right now, but we're upgrading soon (we hope). he wants it to be a mostly corals only with a little rock and the clown and firefish (that keeps hiding lol)

this is his xenia and gsp


this is the hairy mushrooms and kenya tree


this is our clown and his purple tip anemone (he only recently started hosting, last 3 days maybe)


here's the entire tank. it looks really bare, and the anemone does some funky sucking itself in and then expanding beautifully thing.


sorry for the blurriness. i tried focusing but its not the greatest camera.

Is that 10g plumbed into a larger setup? Doesn't look like a lot of rock in there for denitrification.

Gotcha, good stuff.

Is your lighting good enough for your anemone?

But what lighting are you using?

Just because it survived a few days or weeks in the fish store under fluorescent lighting does not mean it will have long term success unfortunatley.

not sure what the flourescent light wattage is, think its around 100+ though? We got the anemone from Golds. we asked whether it would be okay under flourescent lighting we got it at the beginning of the month and our plan was for about a month we'd leave it in the 10g until we upgrade to a better tank and can set up our 250w MH light. i don't know who it was that served us though. he said it would be fine tho there were 2 of the anemones. there was a smaller on hubby wanted but he gave us this one (double the size the one we'd wanted and didnt notice til we got home). we're just waiting to find a good deal on the type of tank we want while our rock cures and we can put it in
