Jacobnano Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Current FTS: Well, after many days of random posting I have decided to post some pics/info about my newest tank. The tank is only two or so weeks old but the rock was taken from my 24g and my sand from my pico. Anyway I have four tanks set up and and this is probably the best looking because the others are in re-make mode. Ok well this tank is a 5.5g and I have a coralife 36w PC on it. The filter is a AC70 with a custom intake and stealth 25w (I think) heater. The current inhabitants are a clean up crew and 1 sexy shrimp. For corals I have 2 duncans, some rhodactis shrooms, ricordea, blue clove polyps, xenia, GSP, some zoa that I need identified. The zoa have little green mouths and with purple around that. The purple around the mouth has some light purple splotches that look almost white. Anyway sorry I don\'t have a camera for macro shots so I know my description probably won\'t help but if anyone knows that would be awesome, they came attached to an urchin lol. Well these pics have a bag floating in them because I was acclimating my sexy shrimp. I will update with new pics soon. Anyway here they go... ***I forgot to mention I fed the duncans right before I took the pic so that is why they are all sucked in. Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thanks guys! I figure I did pretty good for only spending under 20$ (Duncans) and only having it up for 1.5 - 2 weeks. Also, I am looking for some zoa if anyone wants to donate to an aspiring young reefer lol Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 O yes, I have seen your thread haha No matter the name me likey lol. I'll buy some from you lol I don't want to spend 40$ a polyp though, lawn mowing isn't that profitable Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Also, I wanted to know how fast cheato grows for everyone. I have had mine for a while and it is just starting to take off. I really can't find out why. Probably just nutrient supply even though there isn't much coming from a fishless 5.5... Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thanks Now that school is out I can put a lot more time into my tank...yay Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hey also everyone I am setting up another tank, a ten gallon. What lights would fit on it and look acceptable, I don't need to be able to keep SPS but I want to be able to keep corals healthy. Anyway thanks in advance Link to comment
Kraylen Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Pfft, the only think I sell for 40 a polyp is tricolor yumas. Link to comment

Jacobnano Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Well I was taking some pics for another thread and snapped a pic of my mushrooms, I think they are rhodactis but if I am wrong an ID would be sweet. Link to comment

Angelo99 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 nice tank! you have to let me know what your maintenance is like on that tank. I've always wanted a pico, but I shied away from that challenge. Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 My maintenance is not much at all. Weekly water changes lol. I top off every day and feed my duncan every day. Thats about it. I don't have any fish and I have a ton of cheato so nitrates are easy to keep down lol. Link to comment
