hi everyone!
this is a thread about the progress in my 25 gal tank which was set up on May 21 '04. started out with only 12 lb of LR and 30 lb of LS., Eheim2213 clessic canister filter and PC lights [130 watt all together]. later added 25 more LB of LR and a CPR BAKPAK protein skimmer [cant say im too happy with it]. 2 PHs are the most recent addition to my tank. as for the inhabitants, thy are as follows:
10 blue hermits [9 left]
10 scarlet hermits [4 left]
10 astrea snails
1 mexican turbo snail
3 sand sifting crabs [my anemone just spit up the last one :-(]
that was my cleaner crew
Attempted a cleaner shrimp twice, both times diyed 2 min into being put in my tank [still dont know why].
Corals:
3 polyps of florida richordea [all 3 are fine, but 2 bright yellow ones i think have been dyed before ,they look white now]
about 20 yellow polyps [all doing fine, hope to see some growth soon]
9 mottled shrooms [already 11 and 3 have migrated to the other side of the tank]
3"-4" GSP [no change yet]
1 pink tip haitian anemone [finaly has settled on the bottom of the tank and fell in love with the rock thats hosting my shrooms. eats fine and looks a little bigger than was be4]
1 sm. piece of Colt Coral [ had major problems with attaching it to the rock, tried a toothpick, gluing, both at the same time, than just left it in no flow area, didnt help so now using somewhat tight rubber bands, seems to be helping. it still doesnt look too happy but it began extending its things]
1 sm. piece of Blue Finger Leather -- newest addition to my tank [turned more brown but doubled in size in 6 hours of being in the tank, maybe bad water at LFS, but was really tiny -- now huge]
so far thats all i have to say. if i manage i will try to post some pics to show the history of my tank.
thanks for reading such a long post,
hope this will be usuful for someone
