bird Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Very Nice! What are the kind you have and the goby? The pistols are paired up? Cool. I had two tigers that I tried to pair up but one ripped the claw off of the one I now have. Took the other to the fish store for credit. Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Awesome! I was thinking about doing something like this the other day. I'm glad someone has already attempted it with success. Conragrats! Tank looks amazing. Link to comment

I have a Hi Fin Red Banded Shrimp Goby and he'she is paired with a mated pair of Red Banded Pistol Shrimps. I had pure luck pairing the male and female. It is very hard! Link to comment

konolua Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Too bad you don't have GIGANTIC zoanthids...that would be cool. Oh wait a minute..... YOU DO! RAD! Link to comment
kamikaze_fish Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I think the tank looks awesome but I think it looks cluttered (just an opinion). You should do a 2nd one going the opposite direction sitting right beside this one. Link to comment

You should do a 2nd one going the opposite direction sitting right beside this one. I think you are right about the clutter. I had not planned on having this many different corals, but the bug bit and you know how that can go... I have been looking carefully and deciding which I want to keep and have dominate the tank. I am pretty sure sps and a few zoanthids. A list is what I need listing the ones I could not get rid of and those I can part with and go from there. Yes, room is an issue here for sure. Unfortunately, a second tank is not an option right now, I am lucky I have been able to keep this one going for now. Link to comment
drakkor Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 The more the merrier I say Do you have a new video of it in action with all those corals in place? Link to comment
bird Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 have been changing layout of the corals and combating purple macro but I think I am getting it under control somewhat. It has slowed in growth and seems to have even changed texture/color to a degree becoming a brighter purple and firmer looking. This section I believe is complete for these to grow out. thanks for looking. Link to comment
bird Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Looks awesome! Too kind. Here are my latest additions. They have settled in well. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Nice. What zoa is to the left? Link to comment
basser1 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Is there any way to see the past pics that were posted? They all say they've been moved or deleted. Link to comment
fishdaddy0831 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Is there any way to see the past pics that were posted? They all say they've been moved or deleted. ^^ YES! Repost those pics. I want to see this tank! Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Did you ever get an ID on the Purple Macro? I ask because it reminds me a bit of Blue Ochtodes but I'm not sure if it's the same thing. Link to comment
jiriki76 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 This thread sucks without all the past pics No seriously.. post the past pics.. you had me licking my chops when I saw the "inspirational" tank. Link to comment
bird Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Nice.What zoa is to the left? They are Capt America and Purple Hornets and the ones in the back are Raptor Rainbow I believe. Is there any way to see the past pics that were posted? They all say they've been moved or deleted. I have been planning to load them all again but was not sure which went where so been taking a little longer than I had planned. Link to comment

Yes, I believe most have identified it as ochtodes and image search shows same looking algae. Link to comment
mew Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 All these comments about this tank, but none of the pictures work for me! Link to comment

Start a whole new thread IMO. First post make a step by step from start to finish. This thread needs a different title anyway. "Bird's 20L shallow-deep" or something Link to comment

"Bird's 20L shallow-deep" or something Probably would be easier. Might call it 'Bird's Barrier/Lagoon nano'. Link to comment
fishdaddy0831 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Probably would be easier. Might call it 'Bird's Barrier/Lagoon nano'. I noticed you got a FTS at the top of this page now. AWSOME! Great tank. I hope you get the rest of the pics up. Link to comment
fiddly_foo Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 WOW just read the whole thing from front to back really nice setup. Hows the vortech doing with the waves on the surface how natural looking is it pretty good..? Like the watchman in his cave looking out in that FTS you have..

Thanks very much. The MP10 is awesome. I love the way the corals wave back and forth and I think they like it too. Have not had to go into the bottom yet. I change the filter pads (Pura cut to fit pads), the pump has kept going and the chaeto, though it has been growing, has not come into contact with the pump strainer nor clogged it. I thought I would be playing around in there quite a bit, but so far no problems. Never did get the media baskets as the one I did seems to work OK. Link to comment
bird Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 freakiest thing is this what looks like a mushroom fused to a RPE. I have probed it and it does not separate. any explanation? Link to comment
