I'll grab some in a bit... The fire shrimp is in his cave, so hard to get a good shot.

Fire Shrimp and Zoas are now in the tank! Almost all the polyps opened within 15 minutes of being in the tank and have remained open. The shrimp let the clownfish know where his territory is (clowns weren't sure they wanted to give up an inch of the tank.. but by this morning they've worked it...

I sent him an e-mail like a week ago and never heard back. Perhaps if I sent another it would go better?

So, set up the tank about 2 weeks ago... used around 20 pounds of live rock to start it with aragonite sand. Dosed the water with some powdered flake food (to get some ammonia in the water when it dissolved and broke down). Started testing the water a couple days later and it read: Ammonia - 0...

throw the video on photobucket or something and link to it

My clowns swim much "weirder" than any other fish I've owned. I'm new to saltwater, but they definitely "weave" and "bob" their way around the tank. Throw some cyclopeeze in there and watch it go nuts. A video would definitely help, I never get tired of watching mine swim around... it's just...

I sit on the couch to the left of the tank (left as if you were the tank), and the clownfish come up and swim by my elbow... for hours on end lol. They're still "afraid" when I open up the lid, but that'll go away

Thanks! Thinking fire shrimp and some polyps next weekend if my water parameters stay stable

Couple random cell pics!

so... they are in the tank, swimming around silly happy... eating and playing around. Acclimated very well. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.

I'm not disagreeing... the post was about a possible incompatibility based on temperament of the shrimp and the type of cleaner you put it with.

I've read about some possible incompatibilities between cleaners and fire shrimp. Not suggesting you _will_ have that problem, just as a heads up.

So, I have the BioCube 29 and have read 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites and 10 nitrates for a little while. I got around 20 pounds of live rock that was well established from the LFS for initial set up, which I think helped the process. I also got the inTank media baskets and took out the BioBalls...

how on a leather?
