n1zjd Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Very nice. My mother has fallen in love with my 29g and Ive been seriously considering trying a 10 for her. Ill definately be watching! Seriously though, that light is questionable when it comes to keeping an anemone?!? 13WPG? I guess an anemone is definately out of the question for my 29.... Keep up the good work porksoda! PS: I lived in Silvercity, NM for about 4 years but now Im back home in Maine! Link to comment

Zepo. Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I love the arch and the minimalistic rockwork. I may turn my tank into a fragtank and do something like this in a 20L version. Simple > messy. Love the nem, but watch the cleaner shrimp. Mine ate my maxi-mini nem. Link to comment
RedMan25xl Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 cool scape. looks like flintstones pad Link to comment
~LadyBug~ Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Nice tank! Have you figured out the anemone yet? I'd love to know what it is, and how well it does.... Tagging along Link to comment
mad28gnc Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 New pictures I took today. I just feed it some Tilapia from the deli area at my local Albertsons. Only thing decent I can feed it for now until my LFS gets some silversides in. Still what everyone thinks it is? Flash: No flash: Sebae Anemone (Heteractis crispa) Stats Care Level: Difficult Lighting Requirements: High Water Flow: Moderate Aggressiveness: High Range: Indo-Pacific Family: Stichodactylidae Water Conditions: 74-80 F; sg 1.023-1.025; pH 8.1-8.4; dKH 8-12 gotta be my fav Link to comment
porksoda Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Nice tank! Have you figured out the anemone yet? I'd love to know what it is, and how well it does....Tagging along The anemone turned out to be a Heteractis Aurora Beaded Anemone. Pretty interesting since the LFS didnt even know what it was haha.

porksoda Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 New FTS ( Sorry for the crappy cell phone picture): New things are I added Coralife legs to my Odyssea light fixture so the light sits lower now and gets more light to the tank. I added a little bit more LR. I moved the powerhead to the back right corner. I think it was blocking to much of the tank. Also I moved all the mangroves to the left back corner. Link to comment
~LadyBug~ Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Nice! Are you planning on adding any more fish? j/w Link to comment
seafd Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I like the tank, looking pretty good. Just a thought about the mangroves, I read somewhere that the top of them shouldn't be beneath the water surface. I imagine because it prevents them from properly exchanging gas with the atmosphere. You might want to pull them up to the surface until they grow a little longer and then plant them. Link to comment
porksoda Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Nice! Are you planning on adding any more fish? j/w Well me and my gf plan to remove the yellow tails damsel and get a pair of tiny clowns. My LFS has some like super small clowns. I think they will do fine in a 10g. I also want to get rid of the cleaner shrimp and get a smaller one. I like the tank, looking pretty good. Just a thought about the mangroves, I read somewhere that the top of them shouldn't be beneath the water surface. I imagine because it prevents them from properly exchanging gas with the atmosphere.

There are so many tank out there you can say that to and you say it about mine. It feels awesome! Actually they are supposed to be out of the water but mine are really short except for one. They will grow fully submerged but they will grow slowly. I tell they are growing because I can see the difference from when I first got them and how they look now. I plan on putting a Aquaclean on soon so I will probably just move the smaller ones in there. But for some reason I am liking the looks of the Mangroves inside the tank. Its different and I love to be different. Link to comment

escaudio Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Love the build! How did you id the nem? I really thought it was a Sebae myself..... just a little bleached. The mangroves are sweet, I just ordered some for my 20L! Link to comment

The mangroves are sweet, I just ordered some for my 20L! Thanks! Well I had a thread on Reefcentral in the Anemone section. I had a few anemone "experts" help id it. I actually found them for sale on a few websites: heres one and Another It actually has been the same size since I got it. Also I feed it regularly but it looks the same. Maybe they are supposed to be white? who knows. Not much people have this kind of anemone from all my searches. Thats cool. I purchased mine though John at reefcleaners. Link to comment

smokey_the_bear Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 i like these low budget builds, kinda like my tank haha. looks great cant wait to see new pics Link to comment
porksoda Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Well I was looking at my zoa and I noticed that I have like a fluffy white stuff around each zoa head. What could it be? I touched it with my finger maybe expecting it was some kind of algae but not it feels like the actual coral. Any ideas? Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Probably sponge. Or fungus. Not totally sure which, unfortunately. Are the Zoas opening well and acting healthy? Link to comment
