teenyreef Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 I don't feed pellets in this tank, but I'm pretty sure he'd eat them. Quote Link to comment

I kept some other fish in the tank and didn't get Doug until the tank was very mature and I knew the tank could handle the bioload. He's a little on the big side for a 10g. 1 Quote Link to comment

I signed up for the daily email on Diver's Den and then checked in every day. It took a month or two before they got one. Quote Link to comment
kimberbee Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Does Doug eat vermetids? 1 Quote Link to comment

But before I got him, I was always crushing vermetids and they were always creeping back if I didn't stay after them. I still had them for several months after I got him, but I haven't seen any for at least the last six months. I think he's gotten big enough to go after them before they get a chance to grow big enough for me to see them. @StinkyBunny told me tobys eat vermetids, and judging from the lack of vermetids in my previously infested tank, I think it's true. 3 Quote Link to comment

Zuma Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hi TeentReef, curious how much KP aquatics live rock you ended up using to stock this awesome tank? I'm also considering using their rock for my soon to be set up Nuvo 20; any feedback you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment

It was more than enough. Quote Link to comment

Melfy77 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Alright so my fusion 10 is up and running!! Unfortunately I had to get rid of a very big/heavy, dense piece of LR that was doing nothing but trapping detritus. I tried braking it with a hammer but failed big time lol. There was a nice hairy mushroom on it, tried everything to detach it but caused a lot of damage. So I got rid of everything.. It sucked but at least it was a frag not a colony. Fish were not impressed, neither were the corals lol. But I LOVE the tank! Tried to put the rocks so there's flow everywhere and easy enough to clean the glass. 1 Quote Link to comment
Melfy77 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 New corals!!! Also I had a nice chat with my local LFS (i'm still looking for those green banded gobies lol), he's the owner and well guess what, he never heard of that specie!!! And was like whaaaaa well then allow me to introduce you to the coolest nano fish ever lol. So he's gonna talk to his supplier because he wants some!!! So there's still hope . 2 Quote Link to comment

Zuma Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Teentreef, how are the Mithrax crabs behaving that you put in this tank a ways back? 1 came in on my KPA live rock (he's in a holding tank for now) and I'm debating weather or not to add him to the display tank. 1 Quote Link to comment

I pulled the mitrax out an returned him to the store a long time ago. He did a great job on the algae, and then he got big. I drew the line when he started pulling food out of the acans by reaching right down into their stomachs. I think a small one is fine and really helps with algae. But once they get bigger, the tank is just too small and they are too aggressive. 1 Quote Link to comment
