NanoReefer53 Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 holy jeebus ! that's gotta be the best softie nano tank ! Link to comment
NanoReefer53 Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 o yea, i wouldn't keep that maxima clam in there though. There's not enough lighting. Link to comment
Korbin Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Wow! That tank makes mine look like a$$ at 6 months. Did you just go on a coral buying spree or did you have a bigger tank? Is this your first tank? good job Link to comment
My Alife 7 Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Wow... you must have a whole lot of moolah to be able to set up a tank like that in only 2.5 months... Very nice, I'm jealous! Link to comment
MKramer Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 The orange coral in the lower-right corner, is that a sun coral (tube coral, sun polyp, etc.)? It's gorgeous. Could you share a little more about your experiences with it? I have a depressed pink/yellow one that is being highly finicky about coming out. Link to comment
heero Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 WOW! Thats a very nice tank. I sure hope mine's like that at 2 1/2 months. NanoReefer53: He said it was a Crocea clam not a maxima, which should be ok? Link to comment
Metznreef Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 that tank will probably make some dye hard anti-skimmer folks on this board shake there heads in shame. lol, just kidding Link to comment
Cam barr Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 wow really nice love the torch cam Link to comment
Sahin Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Woah! dude that is one nice and colourful tank! Link to comment
Kapelakin Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Gorgeous. I'd be thrilled with that if it was 2.5 years old! Link to comment
Mr Spam Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 very nice looknig tank but with so many corals so close together, i would be very consernd about aggression, adn that your frogspawn can sting the $hit out of most of the corals in there. Just a though and perhaps something to watch for. Link to comment
NanoReefer53 Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 just wondering, how much did you spend on corals within the past 2 months ? Link to comment
khoang Posted May 31, 2002 Author Share Posted May 31, 2002 Yes thanks, as soon as they grow, I either move them to another tank or have to re-arrange them. The frogspawn and the torch or the most aggressive.

khoang Posted May 31, 2002 Author Share Posted May 31, 2002 No, this is not my first tank. I've been moving stuff from another tank as well as scouring the LA and Bay Area for nice frags that would fit. Quote: from Korbin on 11:04 am on May 30, 2002[br]Wow!

khoang Posted May 31, 2002 Author Share Posted May 31, 2002 It's a sun coral frag that i picked up for $10 bucks. They're starting to do real well. They usually only come out at night but i've been able to get them to come out during the day as well as respond to live brine shrimp. Try feeding them directly.

khoang Posted May 31, 2002 Author Share Posted May 31, 2002 I think it's about $600 in corals. Quote: from NanoReefer53 on 11:02 pm on May 30, 2002[br]just wondering, how much did you spend on corals within the past 2 months ? Link to comment
