Smurf Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Sorry Ronin, my clowns don't host the torch coral. They host the power head. Haha, the purple corals are blastomussa, and blastos merletti Link to comment

roninmagik1 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Nice tank, it seems much bigger than a 10 gallon tank! =) Link to comment
StevieT Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Why add the Electric Flame Scallop so soon?! Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I really like the blasto's and the rockwork. You may have a hard time keeping the scallop alive long-term. Link to comment
rbrusletto Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I like the rockwork, but you might want to re-think having the rock up against the sides... it's gone get dirty without being able to clean easy... Link to comment
dtfleming Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Your shrimp is not a cleaner shrimp, but a coral banded shrimp. The flame scallop is going f your tank when it dies. Link to comment
Roc! Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 It's funny that all your corals get moved around except that favia........................... Link to comment
nanoty Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 x2 on the CB shrimp, they are cool. Mine died during hurricane Rita. Question, are you using the Skilter to skim also or just as a fuge? Sorry if I missed it somewhere in the thread, I have two of the big ones and thinking about using one for a 10g tank. Link to comment
Smurf Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 I am converting it to a fuge. Once I put more filtration media, goodbye micro bubbles. I only skim during the day. So my tank clear from 6-10 The flame scallop is going f your tank when it dies. You think so? I hope Not. Link to comment
nanoty Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I am converting it to a fuge. Once I put more filtration media, goodbye micro bubbles. I found that instead of using the stupid, loud venturi tube on the pump if you add a good airstone and airpump in the riser it works much better, has no micro bubbles and is virtually silent.

Smurf Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Really?! I have one! Lets try! haha Link to comment
nanoty Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Really?! I have one! Lets try! haha Did it workz? Link to comment
Toomin Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 how about trying to put the favia on the sandbed? it looked awkward there imo. Link to comment
Smurf Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 But I like to leave a 3 inch gap from the front display to the rocks so I can see my snails blenny and shrimp walking around. Heh, thanks for the suggestion. And for nanoty, sorry I couldn't find one. Lol, I'll look for it. Its somewhere in my house. Link to comment
Smurf Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 He is doing GREAT! I feed him baby brine shrimp every 2-3 days. He fully opened up on his 3rd day. Link to comment

lilredneckman Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 You need more light. Either it is your light or the pictures but they are very dark. Link to comment
