Paul E. Wog's 10g sps Mixed Nano

[Paul E. Wog]

Got some a bunch of new maxi minis since the last update bringing me up to a grand total of 25. Also added some zoas and pallys.

 

Here's the most recent FTS

 

My new Favorite Highlighter yellow maxi on the far right that I got the other day.

 

And my awesome new anemone shrimp

Most of my maxi mini collection

And my super cool frag basket. I got a 3 pack of these office organizers from walmart for $1.00 to keep my frags in. I mounted it right under the overflow of my Backpack filter. It takes up very little room in the 10g and is perfect for growing out frags.

your collection surpasses mine! jealous!

[Paul E. Wog]

your collection surpasses mine! jealous!

 

Somehow I doubt that. But I do have the yellow

[Tigahboy]

That yellow is SICK! Awesome collection you got there!

[Paul E. Wog]

WOW!!! Just about jumped out of my skin when I looked at my nano tonight. I saw clouds forming in the water and thought something was wrong. Turns out my maxi mini anemones were spawning. Unfortunately I think I caught the tail end of it because it was over before I could get my camera. Here's to dreaming that any make it passed the larval stage lol. Not gonna happen I know; but I can dream.

How exciting!! Keep us posted on what happens!

[iglowce]

that's a lot of maxi-mini... i want one

[Paul E. Wog]

Well they were still at it apparently. Spawning has been occuring in 10-15 min intervals. Fortunately managed to snag a few pics.

 

 

 

[Tigahboy]

So cool!

[mew]

cool maxi collection!

 

this should be called a maxi tank not an sps tank.

LoL, yeah it started out that way but somehow changed over the last couple of months. Funny how you have a set list of what you want to stock your reef with and then it totally changes. But I smile every time I look at this tank so I'm good with it.

 

Still on the list before I am done:

Red Acro

Orange Acro

Pink Acro

Superman or Sunset Monti

A Few nice Zoas and Pallys

And of course more Maxi Minis

 

I think it's time to start working on a new tank. I'm runnin outa space

[sweet<3]

Any updates??

[Paul E. Wog]

Yeah I got a bunch of new zoas a sweet red acan and several more maxis w a couple more coming soon. As soon as those settle in I will take some pics. I will be up to 29 or 30 maxis when these next 2 come in. I think; it's getting hard to count lol.

Awesome. I looove that blue one. It looks solid blue. I've got a nice little blue one with some green at the mouth - my nicest so far. Looking forward to some more pics of the new guys.

Thanks, I love the blue one as well. It was kinda gray/blue when I got it but it loves my halide and has colored up incredibly. I have noticed that there is a lot of variation in lighting needs in these guys. I have some (both colorful and not so colorful) that either absolutely love to get as much light as possible and "fight" for positioning; while others I have try to move away from it constantly and find a shady spot under a ledge of another nem. I just changed the junker halide bulb out for a Phoenix 14k and the colors in all my maxis have gotten even better over the passed few weeks. I had an orange that turned brown but now is more orange then ever. the bulb is a little blue for my tastes but the nems sure seem to love it.

 

The tank is way different looking compared to these old pics. Currently have 31 Maxi Minis in this tank so I am overdue for a picture update. I need to borrow a decent camera to get some pics. I'll try and post something soon.

Oh you HAVE to get pics lol

[Paul E. Wog]

LOOOoonng overdue update. Sorry about that. A lot has changed with the nano since the last update. I am up to 31 maxi minis (I think). I was fortunate enough to pic up Both of Tigahboy's red maxis and his orange but one of the reds wasnt feeling very photogenic and the orange was hiding when I took these pics. There are also a few that have made their way into other parts of the reef where I cant get a decent pic. I have also added a really nice red acan and blasto as well as some nice Zs and Ps. MH bulb was upgraded to a 150w Phoenix 14k. Enjoy.

 

[sweet<3]

Amazing as always!

[Rehype]

Wow very nice. I think this is the first time i seen this tank. You did a heck of a job

[Paul E. Wog]

Thanks! I am very pleased with how this one turned out. I love it. I still think the Phoenix 14k is a little too blue for my tastes even though Its not as blue as when I first installed it. I am looking into other bulbs for when I switch out at the end of the year.

[kthehun89]

give the phoenix several days for a true burn in on the Phoenix. mayne 100 hrs or so and then you'll have the nice crisp white and blue color. looking good!

[adinsxq]

very nice!

[star27624]

Love the nems as usual. Hopefully mine will settle in to their tank soon. Several are still trying to figure out where they want to be.

[Paul E. Wog]

Actually the Phoenix is about 3 months old now. It is whiter now but still too blue for my liking.

 

@star

Trust me some of them are never happy in the same place for very long while others that I have have not moved an inch since settling in. Some of them are just chronic movers.

 

BTW, love the Hank Mccoy avatar.

I have about half of them still stuck to the plastic container I used to move them over. They wedged part of their foot into the tiny lip, so I am having to wait them out. Each day I find one more finally decided to let go and settle in the tank.
