Few weeks ago I added rocks and water from my big tank and started this nano.

Now in tank are several types of zoas, flower anemone, two type of gorgonias, GSP...

I will add more zoas, acans, gorgonias, lobo, candy corals, mushrooms... Next time photos of scape and corals

Great set up and it looks very sleek. I am looking forward to seeing the scape and corals. Good luck!

[Arcus]

Rockscape and first corals photos I put about 20 different types of zoas, few types of gorgonias, mushrooms, ricordea, euphyllias...

Also, inside are about ten snails and one Pom-pom crab.

 

 

Blasto

 

 

So,what do you think? Which corals you recommend to put on top of rocks? I think about small frag of Aleveopora, maybe Xenia to add some movement, maybe few frags of Acroporas...

Two week later, FTS:

You always have such amazing pictures!

[JR!]

wow very nice sir.

[Arcus]

You always have such amazing pictures!

 

 

Thanks Spirofucci,

soon, I will add more photos of other corals in this tank. Also nice macro shoots.

Last setup in this tank, NPS, I had to cancel since I left on Adriatic sea on work-holiday for two months. Now I get back and here are my new tank, this time mixed nano reef! I built wood stand and LED lamp holder.

I will show my other upgrades of Aqua Medic Yasha. This tank is awesome!

What did you use to make that lamp holder? It looks like some sort of square alum rod bent with a conduit bender.

[Lalani]

Nice!

[LongPig]

This tank is awesome! Great pics.

Thanks LongPig.

 

 

Guys, subscribe on my topic, I will add nice macro shoot every few days.

I will add today few frags of Xenia sp. to add some movement! Now its too static.

Which fish do you suggest to me? Its to small tank but I'm thinking to buy very small fish and when it grown up to put in my big tank. I'm thinking about one goby, maybe Yasha or Wheeler's goby.

Advice please

Yashas are awesome, but don't really "grow up" they stay sooo tiny you'd never have to move him.

 

I love your tank! it so sleek and I like the big colonies put into it rather than just little frags. don't get me wrong, frags are cool because they grow into big colonies, but its the big colonies I like! haha

I forgot to say that I changed 3 white LED with 3 blue. I didn't like color with 6 white and 6 blue LEDs and all photos before were under 9B and 3W LEDs. I would like to change two blue with one red and UV. I will do that when I got that LEDs.

Here are photos of that short job:

 

 

And what did:

 

 

And few top-to-down macros:

 

 

 

 

One of the coolest Palythoas I have:

 

Rhodactis are awesome:

 

Green Acans:

 

This will be sweet:

 

Thanks

[joeyhatch11]

Awesome pics and great idea to swap out those whites.

Awesome pics and great idea to swap out those whites.

 

Thanks joeyhatch11, those white LEDs are powerfull! With 6:6 combination there wasn't nice color!

I think it will be much better when I swap one blue with red LED!

I'm thinking about this upgrades:

1. Top-off system in wood cabinet

2. Plastic box for filtration materials

3. Pulsing controler for stream pump

Love the tank, esp. those fruit loop zoas. I had received a frag, but it wasn't glued down well and I woke up one morning to an empty frag. Made me so sad. I hope they are somewhere in my rocks secretly thriving. I will be switching tanks soon, so maybe they will surprise me and pop up somewhere. I was really upset to loose my. Looking at yours, I'm super jealous! I need to hunt some down soon.

[SnakPak]

Details on that stand? Such a simple, yet tasteful setup! Very clean!! I love it.

[Arcus]

Thanks guys!

I like Fruit Loops also! One of my favourite! Seems that they don't grow fast like some other zoas.

I hope you will find yours! Think that they can stay for month or two in dark!

 

I removed Euphyllias from background.

Now scape is more minimalistic. Like it much!

[Arcus]

My pom-pom crab (Lybia tessellata) is shy and isn't seen very often! Most of the time it's hidden in the holes of the rock.

 

 

Soon more photos of corals.. I have some new zoas

[Arkayology]

Some of those zoas are crazy cool. Nice pics!

[Arcus]

So, I have new zoas and palys

 

First, FTS:

 

Left rock:

 

Right rock:

 

Acans:

 

New Zoas and palys:

 

 

 

 

 

So, what do you think about scape? Tomorrow I will remove all new frags from the front of the tank so there will be only 2 islands + small zoa island on the right. Those Parazoanthus will be placed on the left, between Kenya three and Xenia.

Holy jizzinmypants. I love this tank. SUBBED.

Thanks buddy,

soon I will add better FTS photo when I place those new frags which are in front of the tank.

Slowly, my tank is starting to look on something like i imagine before

[buddythelion]

I"m curious as to how much space you're going to give each morph to make sure one doesn't outgrow the other before they each become respectable size colonies. That's my issue right now with my tank since I have a lot of zps like you to choose from but so limited space.
