Spirofucci Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 From my experience they are just the same as the shorter tubed feather dusters. Those just look older. The brown part is old tube that may not be used anymore. In my old tank, they were growing on the side of the acrylic (which is in bad shape with corraline and scratches) and you can see into the tubes in some places. When you tap the tank you can watch them crawl deep into the tube. Over time they became curly like yours too. Maybe that rock used to be in someone's sump or something. I'd love to have that rock haha. You should edit your first post to include lists of your livestock, equipment, etc. That way I can look back and find out what kind of fish Dr. Suess is without sounding dumb or revealing my bad memory Ethan, if it wasn't for you my thread would be so much shiitier than it is! OK, fine I'll redo my front page like every other organized person. I don't mind if you look dumb in my thread.....makes me feel better. Sooo cool! They've grown a lot for you Definitely try reef gardener. And if there's something you're looking for that isn't on her site, ask her. She may just have it but it's not listed. I should be ready for another batch of coral on a week or two. I'll see what she has then! As always, thanks!!! Link to comment
FlCandy Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Looks great! Dr. Suess is adorable! Link to comment
Felicia Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Everything is really coming together! I really like that monti combo you have and of course Dr. Seuss is adorable. You and Randi make me want a midas blenny. Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thank you Felicia! So far all corals are growing and looking good. Midas blennies look great in a pic, but to see them in a tank is amazing imo. Theyway they swim and look around, they have so much personality. I think they can go in a small tank and very large ones. At the 2400gal tank at Bass Pro, there are 3 of them. They tend to hang together, swimming all over the place and among some giant agressive fish! Of course I'm bias, but I don't know why almost all nanos don't have one. Link to comment

I may have to get one at some point. My starry is shaped similarly, so he probably swims about the same way they do. My starry has so much personality but he's cute in a grumpy way, while the midas blennies are just adorable. Link to comment

Spirofucci Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Thanks Joel. Last night I counted almost 30 corals in my tank. Still looks so empty, lol. Maybe another coral order in another week! Link to comment
gena Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 What kind were you thinking about next????? Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Good question! I'd like to fill up my zoa rock on the right side and the paly rock on the left. But only with really colorfull polyps!!!!! Since I still have lots of room, I'd like some really colorfull monti's, sps, acans, rics, favia and chalice!!! I don't think I want anymore softies or things that sting. Someday I'd love me a pink clam like Brad's Link to comment
gena Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 That's a lot to choose from!!!!! Acans will give you tons of color I actually ordered an acan pack from Mr. Coral a few years ago that arrived perfectly healthy and very colorfully (is that a word???? ) Link to comment

And I am right around there with ya Spiro - I only got 46 corals - 13 of them are acans and 6 are zoas lol.....meh Also for your pictures - go into settings and turn the exposure down one or two notches - it may look dark on your phone but it will look right on the PC. Also try using cloudy or sunset scene Link to comment
