1reefluvr2 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Wow !!! That fts is insane... Size wise of the two clams 4-5ish? Link to comment
x3thelast Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Wow, love the color contrasts you have! And the clams look great. How long before you think they will outgrow your spec? Thanks! Well I plan on upgrading to my "dream" tank once we buy a house (hopefully by next year) but since acro's grow pretty slow I doubt it'll be overgrown by then, I really want it to look like an acro jungle filled to the brim! Amazing- everything looks so balanced and yet intense coloring- doesn't appear as if any color is overpowering. Jealous here. lovely. Thank you I wish the blue tenius would get blue again Wow !!! That fts is insane... Size wise of the two clams 4-5ish? lol not even close the purple one on the left is MAYBE 2.5in-ish...and the maxima on the right is JUST under 2in. Link to comment
lljdma06 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Very lovely tank, beautiful colors. I lack the courage for a clam. I also think my pico is way too small. Dendros and gorgs are plenty for me. L Link to comment

Dendros and gorgs are plenty for me. L L, I too was scared of owning a clam til I found a super sweet deal to try one out! Try to find a crocea that's 2" or larger that looks healthy. They tend to open way up unlike Maximas and I've found mine very hardy. I've been wanting to add one of those spiral gorgs to add some height to the middle area of my tank but since that area had REALLY high flow and light idk. And are they pretty aggressive towards sps?

1reefluvr2 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I had a Good exp. With spiral gorgs they encrust fast ,eat alot and color fades to a dull tan . At first the blue and orange Was dope ... Then tan with orange, think it was the light. Link to comment

1reefluvr2 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 They actually need food couse they dont use light to make food. So thats why they need to be fed often Link to comment
x3thelast Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 They actually need food couse they dont use light to make food. So thats why they need to be fed often the species I showed you is actually photosynthetic. From the Aquascapers - "This purple Plexaura flexuosa is a rare and collectible color morph of a striking photosynthetic gorgonian that grows upright branches in a parallel plane, much like a candelabra."

1reefluvr2 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The tan one I used to have the purple I never had . Mine grew fast and it did eat daily oisterfeast , since it was in my 150 half circle.

1reefluvr2 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 nice! yea i think im going to try out the purple one... Is there a lfs that has them in the Socal? Im wanting one aswell. Link to comment
x3thelast Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Is there a lfs that has them in the Socal? Im wanting one aswell. no not very many people are into gorgs out here. everyone is either a zoa or sps collector or both. one of my LFS sells super rare rhizo's for like 600-900 a piece! But I cant shell out that kind of money on something that costs 10x more than the tank itself, that might end up dying anyway. But they're beautiful! (generic pic incase you didnt know what it looks like) Link to comment
1reefluvr2 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 That almost looks like my walking dandro! Love it! he sells them for 600-900 a piece??? I bought mine for 90$I thought you were speaking about the purple gorg. Link to comment

jgpico Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Absolutely love this tank man. So much beautiful stuff packed in here. I can't wait to get a few clams for my 30. Can you post a close up of your nem? I'd like to see how it looks, I'm pretty stoked to have a sunburst in my tank. It's a little late, but congrats on the human frag, they are the best! My son loves sittin in front of the tank watching his fish swim by, I can only hope he loves the hobby as much as I do. What are you dosing in this tank if anything? The colors are amazing!

1reefluvr2 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I found pink blastos and pinkish dandros! They will be here tomorrow after 3pm... My gorg is extremely open and eating like a pig. Link to comment
