Lostandfound Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 This looks great! Love the coral selection. Will be easy to maintain your scape, looks well thought out. Almost looks like a green volcano on the front right Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Been busy with so many tanks! Pico has been going pretty good. Had a few aiptasia that needed smothering with aip x. Also have some algae starting. Had the same kind in my 5g when I started it. My acans had been damaged from a favia and they are recovering nicely in the pico. The leather is already starting to grow. I really love colours on the tyree. So glad I got it. The jack o latern has grown. I took pics 3 days apart and there is noticeable growth. I was surprised. My anemone shrimp likes to sit in the leather, sometimes I can barely see the shrimp, it hides well. The hammer isn't happy, might have to move it. I removed the favia, it took up too much room and it stings it's neighbours. I added 2 more acan frags I had in my other tank and a gorg. I need a coral thats not an acan. lol any suggestions? I now have zebra hermit, scarlet hermit, anemone shrimp, and snails as inhabitants. I might make a surface skimmer for this tank, still trying to figure out how to. 7 5 Quote Link to comment
Wendy Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Looks nice!!! Hey @Clown79 that favia was HUGE! I like seeing the variety you're able to put on that right side now (; Quote Link to comment
Joevember Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 So much progress already, and so many acans! Making me feel behind 😅 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Agree. This tank looks fully stocked already. Very nice additions. Quote Link to comment
yoshii Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 This tank looks amazing already! Love the scape and choice of corals Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Thanks everyone I know, the favia was way too big for such a wee tank😁 It's in my 25g now and looks small. I have so many acans, I love them but I definitely wanna try something else in the tank. The Lobo has lost some colour, thinking it might be in too direct of light. Quote Link to comment

Those acans make the tank look so mature already. I have a tiny 3 headed frag in my 7 gallon that I'm struggling to picture a good place for it in the Pico...lol... but yours look amazing!

I have 1 in the pico that simply has never grown much compared to all the others I have had. It's very odd. They seem to like all different light and flow, not too picky in my experience with them. I often just feed reef roids. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 I seem to have a lot of algae. Gotta check under microscope, kinda looks like dino's. Just had them in my 25g😒 If it is, no waterchanges for now and will need to order pods. Really should start harvesting them, gotta learn how to do that. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment
