I bought the Tiki Lounge first, and when I saw the volcano directional sign, I started looking for a volcano. And now here we are. 🙂 Update on the RFA migration: I accidentally knocked the Tiki Lounge last night and now BOTH RFAs are on the move. 🤦♂️😭 5 Quote Link to comment

SeaFurn Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 So a few on my RFAs just like to “take a spin” so to speak. They start moving one day and then end up back where they started a few days later. Hopefully yours do too. 2 Quote Link to comment

I'm hoping for that because based on their trajectory right now, they are headed towards the BACK of the Tiki Lounge. I'm gonna have zero visible RFAs soon. 😢 1 Quote Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 After reading @Wonderboy's thread update about his ingenious undergravel fuge trick, I realized I had inadvertently done a trick myself. I have a volcano fuge! 🙌 3 Quote Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 Finally seeing some diatoms on the glass. What a relief because I had no idea what my Hawaiian CUC would be eating when they arrive next week. Also, what the heck am I going to do with 20-55g worth of CUC? And decision time: A. 1 pom-pom crab + 2 sexy shrimp B. 2 pom-pom crabs + 1 sexy shrimp C. 2 pom-pom crabs + 2 sexy shrimp Still on the fence about adding a fish as well. I've been looking for tiny tiny fish whenever I go to any LFS, but not much luck yet. 1 Quote Link to comment

And I'm having trouble finding a pico sized fish as well. If I can find a baby clown, I may put it in the pico for a few months, then transfer to the 7 gallon till it grows up and is ready for something bigger. Glad you FINALLY have some diatoms..lol...are you gonna stash all that CUC in the Pico till you can offload it? 1 Quote Link to comment

I bought a heater for the CUC so I can put them in a separate container for the time being. I have 2 extra HOBs and my original no-name powerhead lying around. Maybe I'll just set up a janky 2.5g tank for those guys. LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment
lizzyann Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I vote for one pom pom and extra sexies, just because the pom pom crabs are SO special. Hold out for one with both its anemones and a really cool pattern on its back. That said they hide a lot so maybe two will give you a better chance of seeing them. Sounds like sometimes they fight each other to the death, and sometimes they are totally fine and even share anemones if one loses theirs. 🤷♀️ annnnnd mainly just commenting to show off my baby, Maraschino 😝: 9 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 @lizzyann super cool pom pom! Thanks for sharing! I do like the idea of having 1 pom pom as the star and the sexies as the supporting cast. I'm also trying hard to find a nice pom pom with both nems locally, but haven't had any luck yet. I do see sexies more readily available tho. 4 Quote Link to comment
fishfreak0114 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I vote for one Pom Pom and three sexies. That’s the combo I bought and it seems like a nice balance. The crab is bigger and special, and a cluster of three shrimp looks nice. 2 Quote Link to comment

I'm leaning towards 2 or 3 sexies and 1 pom pom now. Just gotta find them. I just left another LFS and they didn't have either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
lizzyann Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Why do you prefer local vs shipped? Not pushing you, you've got a lot more experience than me so I'm genuinely curious! I got mine from the LiveAquaria Diver's Den so it was nice to be able to see what I was getting and they have them in there pretty often. Quote Link to comment
NaturallyKait Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Love the Pico, and love that coral poster. I just started a tank for one of my kiddos too and I bet he would love the poster, I may have to look for one for him. 1 Quote Link to comment
