Clayton07 Posted May 20, 2008 It gets fed inriched table shrimp 2-3 times a week. It will eat all day if you let it. The bubble issue is a bit of a mystery I believe. You can check out wet web media for more info on the topic. It has more than enough light and food. If I had to guess I would say its my high DkH and Ca levels. (11-13 dkH, and about 450 Ca)...but I dunno. The coral does have room to grow, but just like in the wild they all compete for space wich can bring on nice growth patterns, and an ever changing coral scape. I try to select and place my coral very carefully to ensure that this "changing coral scape" remains in a state of constant growth, and change. However, I do trim corals a bit to make sure that they dont get too big. I do this to keep all the corals on the same scale. Kind of like a bonsai tree I guess... Quote Link to comment
BlueBoyAL Posted May 20, 2008 Very nice tank, I see a Clown in there any other fish?? Quote Link to comment
Clayton07 Posted May 21, 2008 1 ORA Occ. Clown (Misbar) 1 B&W Occ. Clown (Misbar) 1 Yellow Gumdrop Goby 1 ORA Indigo Dottyback This is a lot of fish, however the clowns never move around, the goby barley ever moves from his perch on the large monti, and the dotty back hides unless there is food.

64physhy Posted June 4, 2008 Wow! BEautiful tank! Did you put the polyps on the intake and powerhead, or did they pop up there on their own? Is there a small piece of rock glued to the back of the tank? Quote Link to comment
DrCooper Posted June 4, 2008 OK I WANT THIS EXACT TANK Please tell me all This is what im talking about baby Quote Link to comment
Clayton07 Posted June 6, 2008 Flow is provided by 1 Korallia Model#1, and 1 Nano Korallia. These two pumps are positioned to blow water in a 50% opposite angles from each other. (45 degrees) The nano Korallia is blows more on the top 25% of the display, where as the Korallia 1 is responsible for the bottom 75%. I have found that using this combanation creates the type of flow that I like. The water is pushed out and down toward the front and left sides of the tank. The flows reach eachother, mix, then travel upward through the middle of the display. The tank has been fitted with a 150w JBJ Viper lIGHT equipped with a Phoenix 14k DE Bulb. A Current USA linkable moonlight (2 x blue LED) is attached the last arm of the light. Yes, The zoos were glued onto the top of the Nano Korallia to make it blend in a little more. The rocks on the back were glued to the false wall. There were actually quite a bit of them glued onto it at one time. I took most of them off for some reasson..I dont really remember why. There are 2 threads about this tank on the forums. You can find them here: Thread1: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=158455&st=0entry1649366 Thread2: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=114958&st=40&start=40 Thanks for looking!
