Mickle Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi guys, hows things? Thought I'd give you an insight onto my lil simple(ish) coral garden ok So there arent many corals so far, just lil bits I've picked up for £2 So far In the tank there is: 1 RL hermit 1 Burrowing snail 6 green polyps 1 brown polyp 2 breen speckled mushrooms 1 green mushroom 1 unidentified finger coral and loads of bristle worms and filter feeders. Tank has 22 watts of light and a HOB filter with surface skimmer, which will soon house some cheato and a submersible 10 halogen light. My very own custom built condesation tray hood and stand No heater needed so far, keeping an eye on temps though So anyway some pics: Top off Mystery Coral FTS On my desk Enjoy! Link to comment
irishtexan Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Nice tank! I really like the rockwork too. What else are you planning on adding? I would add some GSP, hairy shroom, xenia, and a frogspawn. texx Link to comment
Mickle Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 Thanks I'm keen on the frog spawn but other than that I really havent a clue, depends on what I see cheap and small I'll keep options open a lil, keen on smaller things such as different polps though, make ths tank look a lil bigger Oh and I beleive my 'finger coral' to be a kenyan tree leather Link to comment
irishtexan Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Ok cool. I think some xenia would make that tank look really nice. I would also add some GSP, it will give some movement. texx Link to comment
