PiscesBoy Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Looks really nice, love the colors. I'm starting a nano also, but before I can even start the cycling process I need to make a custom stand. Only a few more days till Thanksgiving break when I can work on it. Link to comment

Archaic37 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Newest addition, carnation coral.Here is another hitchiker. My question is can I put him in the tank since I already have 1 pistol shrimp in there and this one is about half the size of the pistol in the tank now. Link to comment

You can't have two pistol shrimp in a tank that small. They will try to kill each other. You'd need a very large tank to have more than one. Link to comment

metrokat Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Nice carnation coral, what do you plan on feeding it? Link to comment
buddythelion Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Glad to see another fellow college reefer's tank! Link to comment
Archaic37 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Nice carnation coral, what do you plan on feeding it? So far I have been turning the pumps off, fill a turkey baster with water and add about 3 drops of phyto feast to the baster then squirting it at the carnation until most of the polyps have closed up. I know they are a harder coral to care for and I will do my best to keep them alive, but all 4 frags was only $20 so if I lose them its not the end of the world Glad to see another fellow college reefer's tank! NorCal college reefers are few and far between, from my experience at least. Link to comment

They require near constant foods, and should only be in a mature system. They should be fed micro planton foods, also BBS and smar particulare foods meant for filter feeders. Most people that have NPS have dosers to feed constantly. Link to comment

I know I jumped into a coral that will be difficult to care for and I will try my best. Thanks for the info. Link to comment

Archaic37 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Now you see me... Now you don''t! Yes the blur inside the cave is actually him. He was digging when something spooked him and darted back inside but I was lucky enough to capture his"dust" that he left behind. Link to comment
Archaic37 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Awesome scape Thanks, I realized how bad my original scape was. I had an scaping epiphany the other day and the new FTS is the outcome of that epiphany lol Link to comment
Archaic37 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 So my molly experiment went very well, except for when she got her tail stuck in the powerhead which shredded it then went to the bottom and my hermits finished her off quite sad. Any ways I picked up this guy from my LFS today here he is in his beautiful display tank at the LFS and in my tank Link to comment
supermarvin76 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Looks great. On another note- I'm sorry for this, but I'm glad I saw this "Hi Fin red banded goby Jumped out of the tank" I have been tossing the idea around in my head about a screen top, and I think you've sealed the deal for me. Maybe. Link to comment
