Newlinta Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Even more... And this stuff pulses like there's no tomorrow...lol Probably getting a few different color monti cap frags to put in there then just about done other than a feature fish/invert... Then we'll just sit back and see where it goes(grows?) Enjoy!! Link to comment
TianTian Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Wooooowwww....... I am seriously in love with this tank even more now!! Please post your maintenance routine; I'm so curious! Link to comment
Newlinta Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Lol...thanks!! My routine is really quite simple. For cleaning I do the following once a week; Clean the glass with a toothbrush Change filter floss 1 gallon water change(sometimes a little more than a gallon) As far as feeding goes,2-3 times a week I put several drops of reef snow,zooplankton or oysterfeast(I alternate these). I also drop a few pellets in or hand feed meaty frozen foods to the nassarius snail. That's about it...lol I'm hoping I can keep these "simple" SPS pieces sustained in There...they are all found in lagoon settings and really add some nice texture. The only other addition(s) would be an acan or two and a feature fish/invert. I really am trying to keep this as simple as possible. Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Man, you've got that thing packed with some really nice corals. Nice work. Link to comment
Pico del fwaygo Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Following this shiz. I like what you've done with the place (meaning modding that tank). Link to comment
Newlinta Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Man, you've got that thing packed with some really nice corals. Nice work. Thanks! You're mantis/pest tank is awesome! Following this shiz.I like what you've done with the place (meaning modding that tank). Thanks...enjoy... I know I am,so far! Anyone have experience with the blackbelly pygmy goby? I'm thinking about getting 1-3 of them for this tank... A relatively local shop has 3 for sale. Link to comment
Newlinta Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Added this guy to the tank today. Acanthastraea Echinata Have been looking for these for a while...want to put a few more in the tank but having no luck finding acans locally. Link to comment
TianTian Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Thanks for posting your maintenance schedule for me. It actually sounds surprisingly easy! Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 This looks great, love the zoa garden below the mangroves. Link to comment

Newlinta Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Thanks for posting your maintenance schedule for me. It actually sounds surprisingly easy! No problem...I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible. So far,it's working(knock on wood). I don't mind feeding,but would rather not fool with dosing trace elements,calc,etc in such a small tank. That's why the Monti's are in there on a "trial basis" till the livestock deadline...lol Link to comment
thehobdenmarina Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Very neat little tank watch your zoas, may end up growing up the water fall area, I had some grow up an old HOB filter once, the water trickling over them was enough to keep them wet and happy Link to comment
Newlinta Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Thanks everyone... I'll be updating later this week around the FTS/FES deadline. Link to comment
Newlinta Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Added a few more zoas...placed 2 of the digis. Also added a few ricordia down front. Got a decent birds nest frag I'm trying out now... If it likes it in here,it will be the "centerpiece" on top of the main rock in the middle. A bunch of pics... Link to comment
Newlinta Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Birds nest Might add this Probably put a few of these and some monti caps on the right side Ochtodes is growing like a waterfall I think that's about it for now. Still searching for fish/invert... Link to comment
Newlinta Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Snails climb up and down the waterfall all the time... A couple zoas that were added(can you tell I have a zoa addiction?) Link to comment
mikeawesome Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 your tank looks incredible! Link to comment
Newlinta Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Acclimating some monti caps at the moment. Been playing around with placement of some stuff on the right side/corner... Let me know what you think... Interesting aerial view... Link to comment
Rehype Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Wow this tank is really awesome all you need is some fiddler crabs. Link to comment
Newlinta Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 your tank looks incredible! Thanks!! I'm just trying to bring my "vision" to life and having fun with it. Wow this tank is really awesome all you need is some fiddler crabs. Lol...I really would love a fiddler crab or two in there! I'm afraid they wouldn't be IN the tank for very long though... Too easy for them to escape. Thanks for the compliment! Link to comment
Kazooie Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 This tank is awesome! Have you thought about growing zoas or something where the water goes over the rocks? Link to comment
Newlinta Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 This tank is awesome! Have you thought about growing zoas or something where the water goes over the rocks? Thank you! I actually planted the ochtodes near the water line with that in mind. It is growing up the deeper crevices... I just placed some fruitloops(zoas) high in the right corner. Maybe I'll try some in the little stream at the top right edge and see what happens. Anyone think acans(lords) would be too big in here? Was thinking about putting some down front/center(ish)...
