gena Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Did some trimming on this tank today. I had done some on Friday, but did a bit more today. Looks kinda funny now but it surely needed it LOL. http://s711.photobucket.com/user/genae1971/media/021814no2_zps54c483e8.jpg.html'> Trimmed it nicely around the gorgonian...the macro was crowding it for sure. http://s711.photobucket.com/user/genae1971/media/021814no5_zps4289f779.jpg.html'> This rainbow nem just keeps getting brighter! http://s711.photobucket.com/user/genae1971/media/021814no1_zps9f78f096.jpg.html'> http://s711.photobucket.com/user/genae1971/media/021814no4_zps8d0e1646.jpg.html'> I rarely have reef dreams, but had another last night/this morning. I was back at college (pattern there) and I had a 7am class...ugh. It was a couple of weeks into the semester and I had not been to the class yet. Kept missing it for whatever reason. (btw...a recurring nightmare I would have in college, is that I was enrolled in a class that I forgot to attend and flunked it LOL), finally made it to the class and was ecstatic to learn that the course name was MACROALGAE!!!!! Imagine, a class all about macroalgae...a dream come true LOL. Then my alarm woke me up....talk about disappointed. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I have had a dream w/ a rock flower in it. I think I was tending to them. But otherwise, dreams about college are just that I can't find the room and miss the test, nobody's there, etc. Those dreams happen when I feel like I'm stressed, not feeling like I'm getting anywhere, going in circles, etc. Weird how it manifests itself as school and tests.

I've never had a dream about a rock flower . I have had a lot of college dreams lately though. Probably has a lot to do with my son getting older, headed to high school next year, and then college in 4 short years. yikes. Link to comment

tibbsy07 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'd love to learn more about macroalgae myself, gena! I'll see if there are any papers I can dig up here and get through the university so folks don't have to pay. I'll figure out a way to upload them. I have a few on cyano and corals. Link to comment
gena Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Tank looks amazing! Well deserved hair cut. Such life in a 3 gallon tank!Thank you! It always grows back . I swear...it's already grown more overnight LOL. The Rainbow Nem is gorgeous! Thanks so much. Picked it up from vipreef. The colors on all the nems I got from them continue to brighten . I'd love to learn more about macroalgae myself, gena! I'll see if there are any papers I can dig up here and get through the university so folks don't have to pay.

The professor even had some macros growing in buckets in the classroom. That would be awesome, tibbsy! Link to comment
ajayjack Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Love the pico! This is my next tank after I get the 29 stood up and working. I've held off on getting a nice pico out of guilt for needing to replace the 29 gallon first. Hell, I may pick one up this weekend even. I want to do some sexy shrimp I think. Link to comment

I want another pico as well. But I'm hoping to transfer these rock flowers to a bigger tank and then have this picotope to play with again . Just remember, sexy shrimp will irritate any zoas/palys to the point of not opening . Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Wow! Tank is looking stellar. If you transfer your rock nems to a bigger tank, what's your plan for the pico? Got any other biotopes in mind? BTW, I think those cats should be a perminent fixture on the tank. LOL. They're hilarious! Link to comment

I've held off on getting a nice pico out of guilt for needing to replace the 29 gallon first. Hell, I may pick one up this weekend even. I want to do some sexy shrimp I think. Highly recommend having a bunch of butt wagglers in a little tank. It really helps showcase them nicely. I want another pico as well. But I'm hoping to transfer these rock flowers to a bigger tank and then have this picotope to play with again . Just remember, sexy shrimp will irritate any zoas/palys to the point of not opening . My sexies managed to annoy one of my rock flowers as well! My large orange fringe decide to walk around the tank the day after I added the sexies. Fortunately for him, the sexies have settled on the large white zebra for the most part. I was just telling my husband last night that I want another tank... and this is only a month after starting my rock nem tank. I figure I need another tank for Z&Ps, one for Euphyllia/Ricordia, then a big one for SPS... Link to comment

Or maybe I'll focus on pink yumas. I haven't given it a lot of thought yet. My sexies managed to annoy one of my rock flowers as well!

If it wasn't so costly to set up a tank, even a pico, I'd probably have 5 or 10 . Link to comment

If I had more space, I'd be all over that . I realize one of my VIPREEF nems looks similar to my favorite of that bunch. Mine's just smaller. Once it grows more it should color up to those. http://s711.photobucket.com/user/genae1971/media/vipreefnem2_zps3d3eed8c.jpg.html'> Link to comment

famousdan314 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Beautiful tank, you've inspired me. I am moving nearly all my stock to my 30 gallon so my 8 gallon will hopefully have a similar theme. Loving those rock nems. Also, I see youre a fellow so cal resident. Im from Corona but work in Pasadena, there's an awesome shop called the sps coral store in La Canada, have you checked it out? Link to comment
