Wanted to brag on my ricordia tank.

[flricordia]

Hello. I am new on this forum and would like to show off my 20 cube ricordia tank. It is an Odyssea cube with about 35# Fiji LR, 25# LS, 1 6-lined wrasse, mated pair yellow watchman gobies, 1 Tiger pistol shrimp, 1 atra snail, 1 Emerald Mithrax, 70wt Sunpod 14000k, 4gl fuge/chaeto fed by 1" bulkhead overflow and returned by maxijet 1200. That is it. I am trying to keep it simple. I add Kent's iodine, moly.stont and liquid calcium daily per directions. Auto top-off RO/DI-kalk. 20% water change bi-weekly. Started Aug 06. I have started a 14gl Bio-cube zoo only tank. Just finished mods on it and put some zoos in. Will post mods and pics later. Thanks for looking.

Very nice......

Love rics, they are very hard to get here in Canada and one single one if you can get it will cost you $50.00 CDN..... :scared: I settled for nice green bubble tip anemone for my buddy maroon clown instead. But you have a very nice tank.
By the way, what kind of camera did you use for the pictures?? I am on the hunt for a new camera.

Thanks and sorry to hear they are hard to get there. I use an outdated Fuji finepix. Not a great camera by any means. Bought it about 3? years ago @ $120 and if it were still available and new it would be worthless. Much better camera out there. would love to have a digital SLR, but I am too busy spending all my money on my reef addiction.

Wow nice tank, hopefully my starter tank will look like that soon...
One question with all those corals, can they touch? I heard that they arent suppose to touch or be near to each other.

Shrooms and zoos are fine next to one another; softies are pretty peaceful corals. Other corals such as SPS and LPS are aggressive and will wage chemical warfare or sting other corals with their sweeper tentacles.
Wow--that ricordea tank is gorgeous!! By the way, didn't you mother ever teach you that it's not nice to brag, especially in front of those who are less fortunate than you (and by less fortunate, I mean those of us without ricordea tanks!)? I'm sure now that you feel bad about bragging, so to assuage your guilt, you can send me a lovely blue Florida ricordea, and you can consider yourself forgiven!
