Is that growth on the bnest from before the swap...or is it already growing in this tank? Shes been pretty happy with it so far, shes vetoed a few things I wanted to throw in, but its coming together. It was showing that growth in the big tank, only been in the small tank for 4 days I think. Hoping it does well Link to comment
shaneandjohn Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 This tank looks a great sir! I completely agree with you about the sand. I suck out a pile of detris from the corner of my tank every week. Just to think it used to stay in the sand! Shane Link to comment
plainrt Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 The way I look at it is.......... How many amazing mature reef setups have sand? Link to comment

But idk.Thanks man, they really are, in some ways. There like little dogs in that they swim all around he second you walk in the room, mine eats flake from between my fingers, so really a great fish. But they perch on everything, which was cool when it was just lps, didn't seem to bother them, but the second a sps goes in there stuck like glue, but if your not looking to focus on SPS then there great fish Link to comment
Slowtwitch Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I really like that carpet nem in there. Have you ever tried cloning it? Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 I really like that carpet nem in there. Have you ever tried cloning it? I havent, but the guy I got it from has cut them many times. He said it's as easy as you could imagine, but I'm somewhat of a wimp. It's a mini maxi so it should be about maxed out, but if it gets much larger I'll probably take a blade to it. Link to comment

It can get almost double that size. Link to comment

I hate to think of slicing up something I just spent money on. I have one in my tank that I got online. It was supposed to be 2" across and when it showed up it is all of 5.5". Seems healthy as can be and hasn't moved since it attached, but I kinda want to split it and see if I can keep it to a more proportional size for the tank, then trade in the clones for other stuff at the LFS.

hypostatic Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Tank looks good! Also, with regards to the thread title, I believe I've read about a study which concluded that what the longevity/happiness/quality of a marriage really depends on is how happy the wife is lol Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 This looks nice sir! Thank ya sir, headed over to see how the 40B is doing Tank looks good! Also, with regards to the thread title, I believe I've read about a study which concluded that what the longevity/happiness/quality of a marriage really depends on is how happy the wife is lol Ive found a direct correlation between my blood pressure and her mood... Gatta keep her happy for both our sakes I hear ya on the cutting them up. I hate to think of slicing up something I just spent money on. I have one in my tank that I got online.

Its funny, that damn nem moved 4" over to the right side of the rock it was on, its really stretching out, after the RO membrane change and a few WCs to make sure things are stable, I think hes getting the knife Link to comment
