New Nano

[genius172]

I appreciate that Perfectdark and I think I will start using formula 1. But i'm just trying to figure out how much to feed.
nwdyr i'm going to give it another week or so before I add the corals. I wanted to go with my gut feeling and add the fish. I figured it would be ok and I didn't want to go with damsels lol

As a general rule I feed no more than what can be consumed in 1 minute esp for only 2 fish.

See my above statement...the quantity is not as important as the time line because all fish are different and are different sizes.

I hope you like your maroon. I just had to trade mine to the LFS cuz he got too aggressive, but definitely a cool fish.

 

[genius172]

Hey Paintballer, I do love my maroon I think it's personality is pretty cool. Right now I don't think he's a problem just because it's not much in there. But I will keep my eye on him.

I also bought two new corals. I got a new red mushroom rock & a leather coral...I believe

Here are two new pics

Tank is coming out great. im starting a new nano tank myself. but im still wondering what to get. anyway keep it up

 

[genius172]

thanks Nissan I appreciate that...and good luck on your new nano. I'm very excitied about how mine is turning out. I got great advice from members up here and from my lfs.

 

[nissan577]

thanks. yea im here buying little frags for my nano. ive been cycling for like 4-5 weeks now. do u have any more pics of your tank?

 

[paintballer768]

I think that with the maroon and sixline in there so far with no noticable aggressive signs is a good sign, youll be fine. Is the leather mounted to a rock? If kept on the sand bed, it may become more prone to disease, due to attaching to random grains of sand and leaving the face of the foot exposed.
If on a rock, I would try to wedge it into the rock work somewhere.

 

[chroniccoral35]

Yeah I had to wedge my finger into two rocks.

 

[genius172]

Oh wow I didn't know that...it's attached to it's on piece of rock. So do you all think I should move it?

 

[paintballer768]

You can leave it on the sand, as long as the rock isnt buried. I would try to find a spot in the rocks personally, but all in all I dont think youll have too big an issue. I could see it comfortably on the left side on one of those coralline-covered rocks, but its your tank haha

 

[genius172]

lol well at the advice of everyone I have moved the coral (to the left side)

so I will monitor it for awhile to ensure it likes it's new home and then I will upload some pics for everyone to see.

 

[genius172]

Hey everyone,
I moved the coral towards the back but it hasn't open up all the way like it has been before, but I'll give it another day or so. Here are some new pics...I even got some new mushroom corals as well. Tell me what you think

 

[subielover]

Looks very nice

Love the sixline

 

[ballet ninja]

It is coming together nicely, I really like the algea growth on the rocks. It is very pretty.

 

[blazin2k6]

Wat it dew , your tank is looking excellent. Did i miss how many gallons you said this tank is ? It looks like a 29 or something with all that rock. Looks wonderful. Seems like it might get difficult for ya to clean the side of the glass where the rock is leaning on though. I'd be careful of having it right on the glass. Also i love all the mushrooms you went with. Nice variety of colors. Looking good. Glad to see everything is going smooth for ya. Check out my threads sometime. I got 2 different nanos setup. Seems like everyone has given you great advice though This BOARD is the best to learn and know what you are doing. I learned pretty much everything from here and on my own! Great people here.

 

[paintballer768]

New rockwork looks great genius. Leathers are tempermental corals, give it a few days if you need to, but Id say a day or so is all thats necessary.

 

[jadette]

Agree that leathers are tempermental. I sometimes have to wait a few days for them to open up after I move them around a bit.
Looking good!

 

[genius172]

Hey Blazin...it's a 14gal nano and I have to agree with you; that you really get great advice from the people up here. You can tell that everyone is passionate about what they do.
Paintballer & Jadette you are right...today the leather fully came "alive" and it's looks to be doing just fine in it's new location.
Just to give everyone an update on the fish bio load:
Maroon Clown
Sixline Wrasse
Lawnmower Blenny <----I forgot to mention that one earlier
and I was thinking about a Solar Fairy Wrasse as my last fish.
Any thoughts?

 

[subielover]

From what I have read, two wrasses being kept together will eventually become a problem. What about a royal gramma or a firefish? Just a couple suggestions
