[Vincenzo]

I dont know the best choices im obviously new to this but i personally like frogspawns a lot. just my :twocents:

 

[shades251]

i am thinking about going to my LFS tonight need input soon....im really thinking on the bubble but would really like opinion on the sponge and other stuff before i go

 

[fastrd400]

I was propogating frogspawn in mine, it actually did quite well.

ok any opinions on bubble coral, white lightening sponge, i really need to add some color cause i dont have anything really bright in it at all.....another question i have bristle worms everywhere like a whole bunch of them is this bad, can there hurt anything in the tank, do i need traps???

 

[fastrd400]

Sponges are filter feeders, and non photosynthetic. They are cool and may do well in your tank. Bright colored zoas would be nice, and they will grow and expand. The bristle worms are part of your CUC, and they are fine. My clowns eat them when they find them.

Bubble corals are easy and hardy -- one would be a good choice for your tank. Sponges can be a bit more tricky. If you get a sponge, do not let it be exposed to air at all. Being exposed to air, even briefly, greatly lowers their chance of survival.

I'm trying to find small colorful reef safe fish for the nano. Here is a list of fish I am looking at give me addvice...

flame angel
coral beauty
any kind of bright colored damsel

 

[PRC]

skip the damsel. They can be very aggressive. Since you don't have a ton of room no reason to cause problems...most people skip over damsels because of their aggressive nature.

firefish Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Firefish
clownfish
royal gramma Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Firefish

I'm not saying add all of these, I'm just giving suggestions.

The angels can be coral eaters, some people keep them, most don't.

 

[cageburn]

gobies are sweet too :)

 

[shades251]

i have two fancy clowns already....was thinking a wrasse of some kind.....or maybe a diff breed of clown is that possible?

NOTE:: i finally got a working camera been bust building my other tank tonight so i promise up to date pics sorry its been so long

 

[BL1]

unfortunately, you can only keep one type of clown per tank. They are extremely aggressive towards other kinds of clowns

 

[fastrd400]

I have a pair of baby clowns, and an Orange Stripe Prawn Goby in mine. And a Fire Shrimp.

ok guys another stupid question how in the hell am i suppopsed to get a mushroom to stick where i want it in my DT

 

[OhNoNemo]

super glue,i used it on all mine,they haven't moved

 

[shades251]

i tried superglue gel on my frag piece it wont hold do i just use alot?

 

[OhNoNemo]

It has to be the regular ,good ol super glue...not the gel...for some reason the gel doesn't work

 

[BL1]

superglue wont always work with mushrooms. If you get a small tupperware container, and put a small piece of live rock in it, then put the mushroom in there with it, the mushroom should attach itself to the rock on its own.
