reefer38 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 i added some dwarf ceriths, hermits, and an emerald crab (he was eating my macros) from my reef tank. Link to comment
nate82 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 You should add some mojanos. They're the most beautiful pests imo. Cool concept. Link to comment

Cool concept. if i ever see any at my LFS or if a local reefer has some they dont want i definitely will. have you seen the ones with the fancy colors? like purple and green. sooo awesome!

mmcguffi Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The first time I visited my LFS I saw a beautiful mojano on some LR and asked if I could buy it not knowing what it was. The guy said, "This? It's a stupid pest, you dont want it" and threw it away. In retrospect he was a stupid LFS employee, it was better looking than a lot of corals out there Awesome concept for a tank! Maintenance should be easy What exactly do you have goin on the the sump? Link to comment
reefer38 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Awesome concept for a tank! Maintenance should be easy What exactly do you have goin on the the sump? are you referring to the filter section in the back of the tank as the sump? there is no larger tank below it. but i have some filter floss, carbon, filter pellets, the heater (50 watt), and the hagen 301 pump. i've had to top off the tank almost everyday so far, i need to get a cover for it. i also spot feed the two larger anemones with blood worms occasionally.

Monochrome5 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I saw this and was like "Hey, that's my idea!". Then I read the first sentence haha Anyway, looks great! If you'd like, I can take a walk down the dock and pull off some blood red aiptasia for you (the ones I have in my tank). They're a blast! Glad to see someone else diving into the world of pest anemones! PS: Following along Link to comment
