Sancho Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Tank has been with me for 10 years. I wish I could say that everything in the tank has been with me for 10 years.

I had 4 tanks going When I got rid of it. I have a tank sitting here empty that's asking for a conversion, so I'm going to do it and break my other tank down and just stick the fish in the new one, I'll have some corals up on sdreefs soon. 1 Quote Link to comment

The nut is in the sand right now. Every few weeks he picks it up and carries it around. 2 Quote Link to comment

I can't tell you many hundreds of dollars in frags I've lost to that little prick. I counted almost 20 frag plugs in his lair when I took the tank down. Always click'n and a pop'n.

Sancho Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 So tonight I came home to a cloudy tank. The nem is spawning. It does this a few times a year I thought I would document it here and keep track of the spawn cycles. This nem has split many times and I have one of the babies in my other tank. Usually when one spawns the other spawns in the same week there has to be something to that. Both nems are under LEDs following the same light schedule It has to be lunar related. I thought this was kinda cool and will post if the the nem in the smaller tank spawns. But in my experience they usually spawn within a few days of each other. 4 Quote Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Nice, ya that will be cool if the other spawns too. I am really liking this tank- old tanks are amazing especially with a nem in there- great job? 1 Quote Link to comment
pgrVII Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The spawning documentation is a great idea sancho! Quote Link to comment
gena Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Great looking tank, Sancho! How was it introducing a new tomato clown to the female???? Was she thrilled or pissed off? I have always loved the look of the tomato clown. 1 Quote Link to comment
