got2envy Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Hello! I started a 20g long for my fascination with Rock flower anemones. This tank will be dedicated to them. I have had it cycling for 2 weeks. Just finished the scape this morning, couldn't figure out if I wanted to go bare bottom or not. Decided to add about 2" of sand. Equipment 20g Long, painted navy blue Odyssea T5HO 4x 24w fixture 3x Blue Plus 1x Coral Plus Ecoxotic 445nm actinic stunner strip 100w National Geographic Heater Jebao WP10 Aquaclear 70 HOB filter Glass Tops Cloudy after scaping FTS Here is a pic from yesterday...cloudy. I was going to go bare bottom but decided to add 2" sand. and a pic from this morning. Nice and cleared up. I am glad I added sand cause I think I am going rock flower dominant and encrusting montis, Z's & P's on the rocks. Macroalgaes and Gorgs...kind of a Carribean style. any ideas? good place to buy rock flower nems? Thanks! 8/15/14 9/10/14 Link to comment
Dramad1 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Aquasd has some nice rfn's but they can be pricey. Link to comment
gena Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Sweet!!!! I'm glad you started a thread here so I don't have to go to the other site to see how you are doing . The scape is awesome! KPA sells RFAs too. And they'll ship them priority mail this time of year . Link to comment
gena Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 You should do something red and white with that center rock!!!! Looks like a toadstool mushroom . http://s711.photobucket.com/user/genae1971/media/mushrooms_or_toadstools_0071-0907-0221-5319_SMU_zps932346f0.jpg.html'> Link to comment

opaquelace Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 So there is a nano contest on R2R and I happened to set this tank up originally as a frag tank but hey...I cant pass up a good contest with goodies! I am entering the contest with a 20g long, I have had it cycling for 2 weeks. Just finished the scape this morning, couldn't figure out if I wanted to go bare bottom or not. Decided to add about 2" of sand. Equipment 20g Long, painted navy blue Odyssea T5HO 4x 24w fixture 3x Blue Plus 1x Coral Plus Ecoxotic 445nm actinic stunner strip 100w National Geographic Heater Jebao WP10 Aqueon HOB filter Glass Tops Cloudy after scaping FTS Here is a pic from yesterday...cloudy. I was going to go bare bottom but decided to add 2" sand. and a pic from this morning. Nice and cleared up. I am glad I added sand cause I think I am going rock flower dominant and encrusting montis on the rocks. I can only spend $500 on corals for the contest. any ideas? good place to buy rock flower nems? Thanks! Good place to by rock flowers would be sealifeinc.net if they have them in stock. They have regular green/tan ones for $15 (not wysiwyg) and the red/orange ones that they get occasionally usually sell for $30. They do occasionally have WYSIWYG ones that go for $40 or more. If not, VIP Reef has amazing ones at great prices. Link to comment

KPA sells RFAs too. And they'll ship them priority mail this time of year . I almost didn't since it is on another site but I figured it was ok This isn't RC I got a warning for posting a link to my feedback thread from here on there. You should do something red and white with that center rock!!!! Looks like a toadstool mushroom . Hey it does look like a shroom!! 4th? Going to be sweeeeet Maria. Yes sir! Thanks! I have a friend looking into some nems for me. I almost pulled the trigger on the ones at VIP but my friend says he is going to the wholesaler and see what he finds from these... also getting this War Paint Scolly for $65 cause it has a little damage on the left bottom corner. He says he has been feeding it so it's been recoupin quick. Link to comment
jack1978 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 This tank will look like a giant LSD trip with all them colors.....awesome idea on the corals! I've got some nice rfa 's off of eBay for cheap....helps if you can get multiples from the same seller....obviously. Link to comment
got2envy Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 That is why I am hoping he can find me some gems. But with a $500 limit I have to be careful Link to comment
