i guess the two tone grey + orange skirt threw me off. Gorilla ni pples are all purple with a orange center. Oh well im sorry they lost their color

these are the generic REVERSE gorrilla nipples, I should have specified. The skirts look orange in the pics, but they are actually really brown. I've never seen true gorilla nipples that are the dark purple with orange center.

The tank looks AMAZING with the new aquascape. I'm really digging it, not too sure of the coral placement but I like the rockwork. Pics later tonight.

thanks whisk.
sorry I havnt posted the pics, I've been really busy these last couple of days.
BUT today I found a solana brushed nickel metal halide pendant on cl for $150! I called and left a message and I hope they call me back. This is the light I have wanted forever and when (not if) they call me back, I am going to pick that bad boy up. Which leads me to a question. How do I acclimate my coral to the new light? Should I use eggcrate between them for the first week, or put them all on the sand bed and move them up slowly? I've read a couple methods, I just want to know what ppl have had the best success with... thanks

don't think you can once you remove the image coding, I could be wrong though, not often, but sometimes....good luck as I know I would be screaming!!

Im picking up my metal halide pendant on Thurs. I'm so excited! I sold my 8g biocube and a few zoa frags and a yuma to get the money for it, but its all worth it. I cant wait to see the shimmer!
I've also decided to take a risk and get a mandarin dragonette. not for the next month or so though, I am going to set up three copepod breeding jars and also get a nice fuge, AND turn a hob filter into another mini fuge of sorts. I'll also dose my tank with pods bought from the lfs, and not to mention the weekly dosing from the pod breeding jars. I'm going to fill up the back chambers of my tank with lr rubble and put a rubble pile in the dt behind my rockwork. So, after all this is done and I see an increase in my pod population Im going to buy the tinyest mandarin I can find. I'll probably keep it in the fuge or a breeder net for a couple weeks to try and train him to take prepared food and then release him in the dt and see how things go. Any more things that anyone can think of that I need to do to increase my chances of successfully keeping it?

I know you are aware of the care needed and the difficulty in keeping a Mandarin. All I can say is good luck and keep an eye on it. If it starts to show signs of not getting enough food please try to get it somewhere else where it can be taken care of.

I would get one that is already eating prepared foods. They are out there you may just have to look around a bit. It will be very hard, IMO, to train one in your nano. I would bring him in already eating cyclo or mysis or whatever. HTH

Why arnt you a fan of lr rubble in the back? waste build up? I broke up about 15 lbs yesterday and stuck it in my back chamber. Im on the look out for some lr rubble to put in the dt behind everything, and I posted a thread on what Im looking for/ need for this setup to be successful.(pod breeding tubes, lr rubble...etc..)
Im not sure Ill be able to find one eating prepared foods, but Im in no rush to get the fish. I am getting my tank set up now so in the future when Im ready to get it, my tank will be somewhat ready too. I want it to look like my sand is blowing around, their will be so many pods.
It would be awesom to find one eating prepared food, and I would jump on that deal if I come across it, but chances are slim to none. I'll just keep my eyes out for a tiny one like I've been planning.
None of this is even happening till after I get my first clam! Which from the look of it is at least a month or two off. Im dropping all my current money on rent and the mh light. (!!!!) but its worth it, then I need to buy 2 part, and yada yada. too much stuff to list.!
AND, to top it all off, someone on my local forum has alot alot of stuff for sale and Im probably getting a package deal for a yellow open brain, a small orange cap, small zoa colony on tonga lr, a large rock covered in gsp, and a kenya tree on a nice piece of lr for $75. Im so broke.
