eviota and trimma gobies are great pico tank fish.

I bought a used Tunze 9010 for my 40g cube. Paid $150 for it. I needed something with a small footprint to fit inside my tiny sump.

Per polyp, I paid $40 for a darth maul (became 3 polyps in 2 weeks!). Per single purchase, I paid $100 for a 25+ colony of spiderman zoas.

It's called Tahitian Moon Sand. http://www.***********.com/ps_viewit...hannelid=FROOG

Agree with previous poster. A torch will outgrow your Biocube very fast, unless you don't mind getting some of your other corals stung. Never had a torch/hammer/frogspawn in my nano for more than a few months before I had to give them away b/c of their quick growth and sweeper tentacles.

Your PEoAs are gorgeous! Haven't seen them around here. It's obvious that you keep your tank in great condition. You should sell frag packs. :)

I noticed that you have the acans terribly close to your zoas. They place nice? My acans attack everything that's within .5 inches of them.

Thanks for all the compliments! Keri - The pics were taken with a Nikon D70. Rebelprettyboy - There's actually nothing exotic in there. Like I said, the tank is filled with 'leftover' corals. The pink palys that just outgrew my main nano tank, the green PEs that were growing like weeds and I...

Purple Queens.

You take amazing photos. :)

Here's one of the 4 nano tanks that I maintain. It's been set up as the "can't find any room in my other tanks so I'm just going to throw it in this one" tank. It also houses the corals that my brothers no longer want in their reef tanks. End result? A very colorful tank!

I like your rock work. :)

I think it varies from one zoa type to another. I've noticed that my blue zoas actually brown out in high light, so I have them on my sandbed where they color up nicely. My zoas with a lot of red and orange (especially the 'armor' ones) seem to really like being higher up in my tank. In fact...

Yep. Some polyps just take time to open. I've had some that opened in the bag they were shipped in, and others would take up to a month to adjust.

They will grow looking link a giant golf ball. That's how my micromussa looks right now!

It's just more fun to call them zoos. I'll use the term 'zoas' when I'm posting, but would would use the term 'zoos' when I'm talking to someone about them. "Zo-ahs" just sounds so jurassic to me when spoken out loud.

I had a ric that detached from its rock, float under my live rock and disappear on me. I found it a month later buried underneath some rock rubble. After all that, it was still alive. Rics can take a lot of abuse. Not saying you should purposely put them through a lot of stress, but I think...

Although GSPs are considered 'beginner' corals, I've had an easier time getting my zoos to open. I had days where my GSP colonies would just refuse to open and the next day they would just explode. Just keep them under decent flow and be patient. My first GSP colony took 3 days to open. I have...

There's a 'shimmer' look to MHs that you can't get with any other type of light. As far as fragging LPS corals go, a dremel and goggles work for me!
