caas1496 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I can't wait to get some coral in this tank! I decided to set it up as a mini peninsula style tank. The coral will be ALL zoas/palys in as many shapes, sizes, and colors as possible (gives me an excuse to expand my collection...). I will also be trying a bare bottom tank and seeing if I can get a carpet of zoas to grow along the bottom. FTS - 3/30/2019: Current Equipment: Tank - Hidoli AZ-712-01 ...?

caas1496 Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Water is in! I will be adding some Seachem Matrix from my other tank to speed the cycle along. 2 Quote Link to comment
asting Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Cool tank! How are you running your AC30? I just jammed a ton of media in mine with a mini basket. I hope that's enough flow for us too. Quote Link to comment
caas1496 Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 I am doing pretty much the same. Everything is jammed into the basket that comes with the filter. I'm planning to use Seachem Matrix, Chemipure Elite, and some filter floss on top. Quote Link to comment
asting Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Ah I ditched stock. I have filter floss, carbon, chaeto and a space for my heater. Very tight fit. Quote Link to comment

I really like what you've done with the egg crate. Is that a 50W heater? I would love to get mine out of the display. Quote Link to comment

caas1496 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Diatoms are starting to take over the rocks. I added one small Nerite snail and a few small test frags. I have been collecting all sorts of zoas for when the tank is ready! Can't wait to get them all added. 3 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Tank is coming along nicely! Does your tetra fluctuate a lot? Mine stays within a degree but moves around a lot within that degree. Quote Link to comment

Mine stays within a degree but moves around a lot within that degree. Not exactly sure. I have an analog thermometer in the tank and it seems pretty stable but it could easily be flutuating by about a degree. Quote Link to comment
caas1496 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 I have started transferring some of the zoa and paly frags that I have been collecting over to the pico. I am going to try to keep an updated list of the different varieties in the tank on the first post in the thread. Also attached some top down shots of my current favorites. I would love to hear what everyone's favorite zoa/paly is so I can be on the lookout for new varieties to add to the tank. Unfortunately I probably wont be adding any of the big $$$$ varieties unless I can find a great deal! Blue Lagoons: Sunny D's: Pink Zippers: Rainbow Infusions: 4 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Nice zoa additions! Darth Mauls would be cool. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment
