hypostatic Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 I've seen those red tree sponges but always have been hesitant about getting them because it can be iffy. I'll be watching to see how yours does because I have wanted one and KPAs prices are always so good. I think an important feature for keeping sponges is having high nutrients in your tank. Usually you'll see them at the start of the life of a tank (when nutrients are high), and then later they'll disappear as nutrients drop and level out. Sponges are really good filter feeders and water pumps. Check out this video So in a tank, they soak up nutrients/food like.... well, a sponge 2 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I saw on VIPreef a week ago they had beautiful blue low sponges, not those finger sponges I tried once and they failed because it was winter and the company I used didn't give enough heat and the water was blue and the fingers were brown. I might ask about those blue sponges next time I see them. My 34 is 8 mos in already & that might be a place but I don't have enough shade for them I don't think, unless I changed up the scape once the rock flowers were moved. Quote Link to comment
hypostatic Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 I've been really busy lately and haven't posted on here in a while, so i thought I'd share a cool non-reef photography picture I've taken recently: No fish or corals, but it still counts as nano 5 Quote Link to comment
Mirya Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 No fish or corals, but it still counts as nano Nano as in scale? Are the blue things cells? It looks cool... 1 Quote Link to comment
hypostatic Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Everything is cells in the pic The blue are cell nuclei, and the green/red is the surrounding cell bodies. Red cells are dead, and green cells are alive. Quote Link to comment

Red cells are dead, and green cells are alive. Duh, I see it now! Funny how I couldn't before, but then as soon as you said it, it snapped into mental focus. So, they look like some type of epithelial cell since they are forming sheets. What markers are you using? Quote Link to comment

Looks pretty slick I think Aaaaaaand here's a top-down pic of the RFAs! 9 Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Tank looks awesome, like it wasn't even moved. I need more flowers... Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I like the shelf you have there w/ the zoas on the edge and the cool underneath it makes. The rfas certainly look happy. 1 Quote Link to comment
hypostatic Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 beautiful, what's that yellow coral in the left mid? sun coral? Yupp, it used to be in the upper left portion of the tank, but it took it down for the move and haven't glued it back yet. You can still see the glue there haha I like the shelf you have there w/ the zoas on the edge and the cool underneath it makes. The rfas certainly look happy. The shelf is the easiest and most worrisome thing to move. There's a ton of zoas growing on them, so it would need it's own tank to be "properly" transported. I just toss it in a big container and cover the zoas with a wet paper towel; I heard that's how they're imported. Tank looks awesome, like it wasn't even moved. I need more flowers... That zoa on the right is growing MUCH faster than all the other ones. I guess it's catching more bristleworms. It sure shoves it's weight around the other RFAs! 2 Quote Link to comment
