brand new 20g setup

[nikesb]

ive got a wrasse in my 10g and its doing well with the two clowns

I have been so wrapped up in talking about my fish (who is doing well now, thank you)...
Since we're posting pictures of our cars... This one is mine. I am in love with it...

 

[rlablan]

My rims are slightly different and they are not chrome. They are brushed instead. I like the look better. Truly a good car.
about the wrasse... I hear that the 8 line becomes really destructive with age and are jerks... That is all I know. I just ordered a 6 line... hopefully he does well in the 200 gal. I guess I will let you know how he does. He should be here on like wednesday or something.

i think ill go with a six line if they'll be ok in my tank... then like i said the first coral ill be getting is the sun coral... my favorite color is orange so thats y ill be going with the sun coral first....

as for those of you guys that had requested a FTS here it is let me know what you think... i wasnt big on fts because i really dont like how they come out on my cam but here it is any ways hope all you guys like....

 

[jon_fiasco]

and this is for you gusy who will check this post in the morning... last time i went to my lfs i saw a lil piece of sun coral... would it be a good idea to buy it if they still have it... here on swf they are recommended as a beginner coral so it is something i wanna look into as my first coral

it looks like ur green is starting to calm down! dont regret the 20g its a great size. i went from a 55 to a 10g because of maintenance.

 

[jon_fiasco]

[jon_fiasco]

lol i was talking about your fish... the reason i asked is because for a while i wanted a madarin but changed my mind because my 20 coudlnt support the amount of pods it would need to eat

IDK much about them...they are pretty, but I think they have to be spot fed...read this
While it is a hardy coral for the reef aquarium, it is classified as moderately difficult to maintain because it has special dietary needs. It is one of the few corals that does not contain the symbiotic algae zooxanthellae. Instead, it must be regularly fed vitamin-enriched brine shrimp or micro-plankton from an eyedropper directly to each of its polyps to promote rapid polyp budding. It will also benefit from the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.

LOL...I forget what your lighting is

how about a frogspawn or some mushrooms

 

[jon_fiasco]

i was lookin at some green eye zoos and neon zoas

 

[jon_fiasco]

my lights are a dual fixture 65watt 10k daylight and actinic light

 

[meowzer]

you can get a frogspawn....zoas are good too
Also ricordia mushrooms are very colorful, and easy

 

[jon_fiasco]

ok so this is what i bought at my lfs today.... 3 scarlet hermit crabs, a frag of about 20 or 3 zoo's of green bottons... and a sand sifting star...

 

[jon_fiasco]

ill be posting up pics soon

 

[meowzer]

Sand sifting star may not have been a great choice....tank is still fairly new, and they need a lot of bacteria (whatever) to eat
can't wait to see the zoas though
