got2envy's 20g Macroalgaes with Flower Power!

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.

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!

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 :D. The scape is awesome!

 

KPA sells RFAs too. And they'll ship them priority mail this time of year :).

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.

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.

Amazing, if my tank only had those nems, id be perfectly content. Until I felt the tank whispering in my ear to buy moarrrrr. Like LOTR whisperings.
