altolamprologus Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 What about a 2ft 2 bulb fixture from fishneedit? It's like $65 Hmm I might do that. Doesn't seem like it would be high quality though i got two of those. i can grow some acros if kept high enough, and any acans i want on the bottom. when i had just one acans still did just fine on the bottom, and kept euphyllia in middle-top parts of my tank. Good to know. I'm just doing macros so I think one fixture will be plenty Link to comment
Squared Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 also i kept halimeda on the bottom and it died :/ not sure if it was the light or something else, the tank before it was 4 x 8w T5NOs Link to comment

I have 2 types of halimeda on the sandbed under a single T8 and they're doing ok Link to comment

altolamprologus Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 I HATE damsels. Pancakes killed eggs last week so I've just been waiting for the angler to eat him so I can get nicer fish. Well Pancakes is a fast muthaf*cka and the angler gave up trying to catch him and started begging for food. For the last 4 days I have been trying to catch pancakes and today I literally tore my entire tank apart to catch him, only to see him escape the net as the angler struck. Then he disappeared. I stuck my hand in every crevice and cave in the rocks (even though I have a fireworm) but still couldn't find him. I hope he jumped! /rant Link to comment

sillycupid Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Have you considered expanding your rock work vertically? You have a lot of open water for a guy who likes to cling. Maybe throw in some tonga rock as legs to a base. Use alot of epoxy and acrylic rods for support. Create a tower of rock! lol. I like the clean simple look your going for with emphasis on the macro algae. But a tower would be nice. Link to comment

Funny you say that, I actually have a pretty big rock cycling at the moment that will be put in this tank once it's done I got a big 50+ polyp sun coral today I can't wait until I have it trained to be out during the day!!

yoshii Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 That's the awesomness of your tank starting to affect the coral Link to comment

dweeeezy Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Tracking this topic!! I have a second aquarium cycling and it happens to be a 20 long. I wanted to do a mantis shrimp tank or angler tank. Do you know if you can keep more than one angler per tank? Link to comment

I wanted to do a mantis shrimp tank or angler tank. Do you know if you can keep more than one angler per tank? Yes you can as long as they are both the same species and same size. A pair of wartskin anglers would be nice for a 20L, they only get 4 inches. Link to comment
