kthehun89 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'm on Christmas break so I'm back home in TN now for 2 weeks. The Solana is back in SD, but my roommates are well versed in its care. In the meantime, here are pics from my mom's 20L. My parents LOVE this tank, they take care of it and spend hours infront of it. frags interracial clowns Frogspawn, AOG what were PPE's but now look different, and some cool orange zoas Joe the Coral Acro Link to comment

OneTimer Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Nice Tank ! started mine about 5 days ago and my rock work is similar - I am having a hard time placing coral - I have a Koralia 2 and the flow seems to much- might be my inexperience. any advice on mine would be appreciated thread is RFD Solana Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Nice tank. I really like the 'scape, and you've got some pretty stuff in there as well. I like the Frogspawn and the "interracial Clowns" in your parents tank. Where you at in TN right now? I'm in E. TN, in Oak Ridge. Link to comment
kthehun89 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 OneTimer, I think the Koralia should be fine. If anything, your corals may not be used to it. Its all abour acclimation. Weetabix, I was raised in Memphis. Thanks for the comments Link to comment
imcosmokramer Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 wow beautiful corals. Link to comment
basser1 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 You've really got some nice hardware there and I like the set-up. Only question I have looking at it is, with the MP10, do you really need the loc-line? IMO, it takes away from the aquascaping. Just my 2 cents! Link to comment

You're right, It does detract, but I havent taken any recent pics of the Solana. It is now hidden lol. Thanks for the kind words! Kristof Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Your parents have some purty stuff. Link to comment
aaron1987 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Nice pics! I wish I could keep a RBTA but I don't have the real estate to spare in my tank and it would be a shame to have it move and kill off coral. Have you had any issues with yours? Link to comment

I wish I could keep a RBTA but I don't have the real estate to spare in my tank and it would be a shame to have it move and kill off coral. Have you had any issues with yours? ohh yeah, lots. my parents have 1 and I have one and both animals decided to get sucked into the powehead. They survived but it sent anemone everywhere! really not fun dealing with. But they are fun critters but canget annoying. They only kill coral if they are constantly touching them. other than that not much harm Kristof Link to comment
