Patrick's 10 gal. nano diary :)

[patrick8929]

haha no i was already down here the tank just joined me. but yea its only a six gallon, i never really thought about the fact that there is not as much water because of all the rock. is that really gunna cause a problem?
Yes the light is amazing, i took out 2 bulbs because i didnt want to burn up the tank but its awesome and i can pretty much keep anything i want with out a problem

Ah ok, not bad to have the tank in the room. Good to look at at night.
I honestly don't know about how much live rock/ gallons is too much. I know the average is to try and have around 1 lb rock for 1 gallon of water. I'm sure that at some point your reducing the amount of water too much,which could lead to spikes quicker. PM spanko or Meowzer they always seem to have advice.

 

[patrick8929]

yea i love having it in my room i just stair at it all the time. but yea i prob have about 15 pounds of rock so maybe i will take some out i like the way it looks tho

 

[demartini]

eeeek! I can't believe your dad agreed to buy you another tank lol Throw out that snail... it's a sundial and they eat zoas. Good luck with your new tank hehe.

 

[patrick8929]

haha yea i didnt think he had the heart to do it but he bought me a new tank! i have flushed the little guy already! haha i would have been pissed i love my new zoas and thanks its going good so far i only hope it looks half as good as yours!

 

[patrick8929]

im not sure i just sold my old fish tank stand on clist for 40 bucks so im about to head up to the fish store right now, i have my eye on either a colt coral or maybe even i brain frag im not sure tho we will see, also i was wondering should i be feeding my corals anything? thanks

 

[meowzer]

I'd get a brain over a colt anyday....and if all you have in there is the zoas...you don't need to feed anything
I have a glass goblet brain...I give it a small piece of scallop once to twice a week

 

[patrick8929]

yea i agree on the brain over the colt but i remember correctly the brain didnt look to good, and its more expensive i will have to see once i get there thanks for the help!

 

[patrick8929]

and i also have to think about how stressed the coral can get, i would say a colt is probably more hardy than a brain right?

 

[patrick8929]

well i ended up just getting a nice little zoo frag but they are bright green with kind of a brown rim, im working on the id right now, but ill post pics once they open up, only 10 bucks this time

 

[patrick8929]

1. the new prego peppi lol
2. topdown of my zoas (just thought it was a good pic of them)
3-5 my fish stores selection of coral

they have some good stuff but if its not a frag its atleast 35.99 or more. and one mushroom rock that has maybe 5 shrooms on it costs 40 bucks along with one that have 15 shrooms on it

 

[patrick8929]

the mushrooms i was talking about all these are the exact same price!

 

[meowzer]

WOWWW...I would have gotten the brain or the striped mushrooms...the cup coral...the frilly mushrooms....LOL...and a third job
Sometimes.....ONLY sometimes I am grateful i have NO LFS..LOL

 

[worrballer]

That sucks man. That is their entire selection?
How much is that bubble coral that is in the back?
