spazizz Posted June 18, 2019 4/24/21 Original post First tank is 20g. It’s all lps and soft coral. Both tanks are meant to be ULM. Fish stock- True percula Five Two green banded gobies Green dragonette Orange molly Corals- Aussie Yellow toadstool Indo Green toadstool Pulsating pink sinularia White polyp toadstool Long polyp green toadstool ORA Neon green sinularia Duncans Purple tip hammer Splatter Yellow green hammer Gold hammer Green hammer Indo gold hammer Aussie yellow hammer Aussie Blue white hammer Indo green frammer Pink and purple frogspawn Green marbled tip frogspawn Rainbow red lords Blue rim lords Green and purple Micromussa Amakusensis Green pipe/star polyps Blue anthelia? Green polyp toadstool Indo Green devils hand leather Pink devils hand leather Rainbow gold cristata Red/blue white/yellow Lobopyhillia Neon green nephthea Purple plume gorgonian Zoas Cristata- lost some color in qt History 2016 Back when it was just standard 10g. 20g This was before I was forced to change the aqua scape because I broke the rocks accidentally during a wc. All mushrooms have been removed from the tank, they always detached and grew where I didn’t want to grow, often covering up zoas. 10g ULM Mushroom dominated BB This tank I plan on growing zoas on cutting board agronite tiles bb and maybe the back wall. Fish stock- Clownfish Corals- Interstellar mushroom “Japanese” green toadstool Aussie Yellow toadstool Superman rhodactis Green rhodactis Jawbreaker disco Florida ricordea- green, orange/blue Blue dot purple disco Pink devils hand Green devils hand Rainbow yuma ORA Lemon lime yuma Indo orange yuma Indo red mushroom Indo orange mushroom Zoas Rastas Sakura King Midas Watermelon Purple hornets Many unnamed ones Inverts- Two Rose bta 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
spazizz Posted June 18, 2019 Some corals I want for the tanks are- Yellow/green/orange cristata Maybe og bounce some more bright zoas Green lords I’m in no rush to get any of these though but if I see that cristata at the right price I won’t be able to click buy fast enough.

spazizz Posted October 18, 2019 The 10g is doing great. The 20g is covered in algae so I’m slowly switching to bare bottom then maybe a thin layer of sand once it’s taken care of. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post

spazizz Posted December 10, 2020 New corals set up in quarantine. The most exciting one is the Fiji yellow toadstool. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
A.m.P Posted January 1 Yellow leathers can be hard to find, such a cool coral. Quote Share this post Link to post

spazizz Posted January 14 I haven’t been satisfied with my nano in awhile, I usually like a minimal type bommie aquascape but I don’t know what I like any more. The tank is a euphyllia and leather dominated tank with some zoas and other lps here and there, half of my corals are in another tank right now. Some goals for the tank are to have soft ball sized coral colonys. I’ll post some pics of some possible aquascapes with some commentary, let me know what you think. Aquascape 1 - This is the first aquascape, bommie style. This is my least favorite one, it has the least amount of surface area and hiding places for my fish. Same aquascape with extra rock. No middle rock, my micro lords instead. Quote Share this post Link to post
spazizz Posted January 14 Aquascape 2 - There’s room behind the rock structures to put some leathers on the bottom of the tank. Angle 2 Aquascape 3 - This is like the classic rock walls I use to see and do when I first start reefing. It has the most hiding spots for my fish. It feels a little cramped with rock but also has the most reef like look and feel to me. As corals grow rock may have to be removed. Angle 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
spazizz Posted January 14 Aquascape 4 - There is some room behind the hammers to fit some leather corals to grow in the negative space. I struggled to find spots for some coral with this scape though. Angle 2 Aquascape 5 - This is how the tank currently looks. It’s aquascape 2 with an extra rock, I’d ultimately put a yellow toadstool on that rock. There is room behind all the rocks to put taller leather on the bottom.

A.m.P Posted January 14 2 and 5 are my favorites as well, nice balance. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
spazizz Posted February 9 Current fts of the 20g, the leathers are bit closed since they are winding down for the night. I’m thinking about switching the hammers to where the leathers are in the top of the tank so the leathers have more room to grow vertically sitting on the bottom. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
spazizz Posted February 12 Trimmed some hammers and froggies. Rearranged the corals. I’ll probably tweak coral placements over time but I’m pretty satisfied with how things are. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
Christopher Marks Posted February 24 Amazing transformation @spazizz! The new aquascape looks great, worth the trouble I'd say! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
