Nice tank, you have a little more info about it? When you started it and such...

 

[Sakura2282]

Your tank looks really good I can see the coralline algae growing on the rocks :).

I started the cycle mid June and just moved the contents from my two nano tanks 1 6g and 1 12g which were both over a year old.

Thanks! I need to get more rock in there, I hate seeing the wires. :D

I do everything I can NOT to paint lol. I'll get the wires under control soon. I spend my time looking in the tank not through it :sfish::sfish:

cool rocks, I like the large pourous holes.

What's your list of livestock? (Fish/Coral)

Thanks, I'm not sure what type it is. It's thin and very porous and gives lots of hiding places. The idea is to cover the back wall with it and build off of that with LR.

[AnthonyTheNewbie]

Nice, does the Sun Coral require spot feeding? Also, how old is the tank again?

 

[ErinCahir]

Sun corals are non-photosynthetic. So yes, they need to be spot-fed.

 

[Aquarian]

Nice, does the Sun Coral require spot feeding? Also, how old is the tank again?

The tank is a combination of two nano tanks that were around a year and a half old. The 36g bow front was cycled last month. And all the contents of the nanos went into it.

Yes the sun coral needs to be fed, I feed mine twice a week.
