yankeereefer Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Creating a new thread for my pico cuz I think the desc on the original thread was misleading. I was looking for a bulb. You can follow it from the beginning here. Update 09/04/06: I pulled the zoa frags from the mantis tank and added them into the pico. The shroom came dislodged and floated over to the xenia. I gelled a brown paly (between the zoas) - Don't think it's gonna make it though. Found a really cool HH in my chaeto yesterday. He's gone this morning, so I don't know if someone ate him or if he's just dug in deeper into the macro. Some kinda pod. Huge thing is about .25" uncurled. I forgot to add pic of the pep that ate all my aiptasia: YR Link to comment
SpencerShepard Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 looking good! how often have you been doing water changes? Link to comment
yankeereefer Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 I did the first change, 25% yesterday - Was the first one since setting it up on the 29th of Aug. Link to comment
irishtexan Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Looks good! Are you planning on any kindof livestock? A couple of sexies would be awesome. texx Link to comment
yankeereefer Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Sexy's would be cool, but I've not seen any at LFS's around here. I'm just gonna take it slow and see what comes of it. I know I want to frag some gsp to cover some of the rock for sure. But what else?? Link to comment
SpencerShepard Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 some nice blue or red shrooms? or maybe a ricordea? Link to comment
irishtexan Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I have an idea of what you could add. A small flower anem. They are super easy to keep. I have one and I love it. I feed a small piece of shrimp once a week. Also, you could try a small frogspawn, candy cane, or some pipe organ. HTH! texx Link to comment
yankeereefer Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 I'll probably add a blue shroom from my 10g - There's a few of them growing that I can pull from. I also have an orange ric that I might move. Texx - I might have to look into the flower anem. I agree that it would be pretty cool. I want to cram a lot of color into this - riotj's .75g was really cool when he had it going. Link to comment
irishtexan Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yeah put the shroom and ric in there. Will you be adding them today? I would put the GSP on the rock of the right that is sticking straight up. Next time you go to your LFS look for a flower anem. Sometimes they are pretty small so you have to search for them. Also, when you get one they prefer to be in the sandbed so it won't take up any of the valuable "real estate." texx Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 mine hated the sandbed and moved right onto a rock above him.. so be warned.. some may like the sandbed and others may not.. since then it has stayed put Link to comment
irishtexan Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Here are some different Flower anems. They come in all different colors and sizes. and my favorite: HTH texx ps-Thanks google for the pics! Link to comment
yankeereefer Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 that 2nd one is really cool - I like the one with the green fringe and white ring too. Has anyone seen these online anywhere? Link to comment
irishtexan Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yeah I know they are really neat. I am going to try to get another one today. Um let me look for a website. texx Ok here is one link: Sea Life Florida Heres another, click on the Invert page and then scroll down and they are like half way down the page. Florida Pets ^They have really good prices I will keep looking Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 the 2nd and 4th ones are REALLY cool.. great pics Link to comment
irishtexan Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yankee, Did you see anything that you like? texx Link to comment
yankeereefer Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Sorry Texx- The top one (purple / pink) one on floridapets looks really cool - I think this is a rock anenome though I kinda like the green one on Sea Life too. The other thing I saw that I like there was the gorgonia - I think a flame scallop would be cool too, if I could find a real itty bitty one. I may call them tomorrow YR Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 no flame scallop... they barely ever make it Link to comment
Argent Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I love my little rock anemone - he sits happily on the rock next to one of Natasha's burrow entrances. Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 i agree^ i love mine to.. i have a green one.. much like the last pic except without the pink mouth.. Link to comment
yankeereefer Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 no flame scallop... they barely ever make it That's a bummer - Are they just not very hardy? Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 not sure^ i think its because they are filter feeders but i could be wrong Link to comment
irishtexan Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yeah the flame scallops don't live long at all in captivity. I really like the pink rock anem. from florida pets. LMK what happens when you call them. texx Link to comment
ToeJam Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Has anyone seen these online anywhere? I think Reeftopia.com sells them. Link to comment
yankeereefer Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 I think Reeftopia.com sells them. very cool - thanks toejam! Link to comment
irishtexan Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hey, Did you add the shrooms? Also, are you still thinking about getting a flower anem? texx Link to comment
