SeanB Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 WOW! And after only 3 months - very nice. Link to comment
billm Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 A lovely, well balanced tank. The color combo is very well done. Bill Link to comment
NanoBob Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Looks great. You have a lot of color for only 3 months. Keep up the good work! Is that 3 clowns I see? Bob Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I like it!!!! Link to comment
tito7744 Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Thanks guys! Only 2 clowns and 1 twin spotted goby. Im planning on peeling some GSP off and adding more colorful zoos or something else. My GSP has been growing rapidly and it already stung my green brain. I moved the brain toward the middle so it wont touch anything. Do you guys recommend any other different type of corals? Link to comment
NanoBob Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 ricordia are always a good addition!!! Rainbows or oranges would look great in there. Bob Link to comment
tito7744 Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 I was thinking about ricordias , but i also heard they were expensive. I couldnt find any for a good price. They were around $30 - $40. Do you (NanoBob) or anyone know the specs of ricordias? where to place them and feed them? Link to comment
mje113 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Very nice... Just curious as I'm about to set up my own NC12 DX, how much LR and LS do you have in there? Link to comment
SeanB Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 www.fragsncrabs.com has rics for $9.99 - $19.99. You could also look at filly mushrooms. They are cheaper and are often mistaken for ricordia. There are so many of you guys here from SoCal, you should just do a group order to save on shipping. Link to comment
tito7744 Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 I dont really know how much LR i have in there. I just kinda bought LR and locate it in the NC until i was happy with the setup. I have about 1 inch of LS in there (one bag at the LFS). How would i know the difference between the ricordia and filly mushrooms? They all look the same. Link to comment
embryoguy Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 you have snails in your back chamber? Link to comment
tito7744 Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Yup, i have 5 astrea snails on my back chambers. They're doing even better than i ones in the front. Link to comment

embryoguy Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 great idea keeping some snails in the back. thanks ill try taht Link to comment
elimmel Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 nice setup you could consider turning the foreground into a ric or zoo garden... btw, how's the acro doing? Link to comment
tito7744 Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 I was thinking about some ricordia but they are so expesive for the ones i like. Soon, probably i will pick up some blue zoos and nice lookin ricordias. I want to keep it nice and elegant, not too much corals crammed in one cube. The acro is doing great, very hardy coral. Grows very quick! Link to comment
