What type of lighting do you have And yow much? I love the six line I had one but it had a taste for Snails so it had to go. How is the bubble coral? Ive heard they are fast growing and shouldnt be in a nano. But seeing one in yours makes me want to go get one

Finally got Metal Halide lighting for this tank. LFS had 2 150 Current Pendants for $150 each. Brand new units actually cheaper then I could get them online. Not sure how they were even still there on a Sunday. I bought one and may go back tomorrow to get the other. Now I can get the remora skimmer to hang on the back instead of the side. Got the egg crate cut for the top so I don't lose my six line. I hope the lighting will make the anemone a little happier. I am super excited about this, because its something I have wanted for this tank since I started the hobby. The 14K bulb looks really blue. When it burns in will it look a little more white?

Added 2 Seio 620's and removed all the Aquaclear powerheads. Everything is loving the extra flow. I figured I have about 60x turn over now.

My blasto frag has some scary long feeders. I keep moving it away from everything, but it seems to keep reaching.



The "meat" coral.


FTS.



Oh have I metioned I hate coraline algae? Scraping this stuff once of week isn't enough.

Tried a few different positions for the seios. This seems to work. Having both blowing forward I would get water splashing out from the front. Blowing at each other was just too much force on the corals.

I don't think there will ever be sand. Well unless I set up another tank.

New fish for the nano

I got a scissor tailed dart fish. Thought it looked pretty manly for a firefish cousin. He's gonna hang out in the nano till I can get the other fish out of the 75.




The turbo snail knocked off a rock that my hairy mushroom was attached to. Now I have 2 hairy shrooms.


This rock started with 6 polyps.

Well that day has finally come. I need to move this tank so we can put down new flooring. Want to update the pics so if I loose everything I at least have the pictures to look at. Took out the big paly rock cause they were taking over the tank.





This is what I mean by the palys taking over. I had one big rock that spread to almost every other rock in the tank.







Little tri color acro.

I didn't loose anything except a mushroom that I accidentally buried when I moved my corner tank when we put down a new floor in out living room. It is still in the dining room but my in-laws are gong to be here in 2 more weeks so it has to get moved back.
