Brooklyn Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hello, its been over a month since I started my 2.5 pico tank. I have attached some pictures of where its at now. My digital camera is not too great though. Also, I plan to upgrade this tank to a 10 gallon, because I'd like more space, and my 2.5 has a crack in the corner that I dont feel too comforable about. I do plan to keep some of my 2.5 stuff to make a 2.5 dwarf seahorse tank, but thats another thread for another time. Please post any comment/concerns about the system, as I am still a beginner. Also, what do you think of the little brown polyps on the live rock with the kenya tree? Good, bad..? Thanks! Link to comment
oscar5453 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 THose look like the bad type of polyps. A better pic would be great. But they do look like the bad type. -Oscar Link to comment
Brooklyn Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 Could they possibly be aptasia? Link to comment
brent-konieczny Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 definately aiptasia. BTW how do you like that nimble cleaner. Is it easy to get around corners without it falling off? Link to comment
formerly icyuodd/icyoud2 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 hard to tell but the closest to the glass looks like a brown button polyp, not aptasia. Link to comment
Brooklyn Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 After closer inspection I decided it must be be aptasia, its not brown polyps. I removed it today. I love the nimble nano cleaner, its perfect for me tank. It gets around corners well and I have only dropped it a couple times. I was always able to pick it up again using the magnet, I've never had to put my hand in the water to pick it up. Link to comment
nanospoof Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 definately aiptasia. BTW how do you like that nimble cleaner. Is it easy to get around corners without it falling off?

Brooklyn Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 I have take a couple updated pictures of my 2.5 pico. Most of the information can be seen in my sig. Link to comment
Brooklyn Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 (I decided to just continue the thread here rather than try to switch forums...) Also, I was wondering about feeding my clown goby. I feed him a small amount of frozen mysis shrimp everyday. He gets about 3-4 shrimp. I do see him hunting around for food often. Also, I got a "red reef crab" from an lfs, but I can seem to find any information on him. Right now he just hides around, but I will try to get a picture when he is out. He kind of looks like an orange "fiddler", but with no large claw(none at the store had large claws). Also, should I be trying to feed the baby torch coral? Thanks! Link to comment
Brooklyn Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Update... with green button polyps... Link to comment
Brooklyn Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 aghldlgh;hl!!! I just caught my "red reef crab" in the act of tearing apart my GSP. Looks like he's going back to the lfs tomorrow. So much for being "reef safe." Link to comment
Brooklyn Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 Quick picture update. The bottom is dirty, and my xenia looks crappy, and some of my new zoa's aren't open yet... but it looks decent otherwise. Link to comment
icenine Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Have you seen the pico contest forum? Link to comment
Brooklyn Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Heck yea, those are some sweet looking tanks. Link to comment
