My first (55) reef tank

[project5k]

ahh theres one i didnt see! ok, i'm just trying to get an idea of what i should try and work towards for flow, cause i'm not happy with what i have now.. and since your tank is so awesome looking, i was thinking that you might be a good example direction to head in...

 

[Smitty]

Thank you sir...I appreciate the kind words of encouragement.

 

[EliWhitney314]

Would you sell any Smitty?

 

[Smitty]

:DWhen your tank is ready, let me know, I'll ship some to you, you just pay the shipping cost...

 

[EliWhitney314]

It's ready my friend

 

[EliWhitney314]

Thank you so much man.

 

[Smitty]

Cool...no problem...also I got your pm.

Awesome aquascaping Smitty! You should think of getting a cherub angel. He'd work wonders with any algae in the rocks. My little guy eats everything! I turn my powerheads off once a week, not together of course, and he swims inside the Koralia's to clean them. It's funny to watch. Also, he's fun to watch darting in and out of the rocks.

Tank looks very good! Love the seascapin bro.

 

[Smitty]

Ok...I had to get one so my clownfisg will leave my duncans alone, so i picked up a condy anenome. He is still doing well and I fed him some shrimp with no problem...

Your percula will probably not host the condy, condy's come from the atlantic (no clownfish) sometimes they the anemone will allow it but usually not. And the anemone has a stronger sting and the clown may not be able to adjust his slime coat.

I have seen a condy allow a clown into them and then eat them. Good Luck!

 

[Smitty]

Thanks for the advice Winy...Im really not an anemone fan, so hearing this may help me to get rid of it.

 

[Kev]

Yea. I had a condy years ago and he was also constantly moving all over my tank. They pose a threat to a lot of corals I think cause they move so much.

 

[Bifferwine]

To draw your clown away from your nicer corals, get yourself some fuzzy or hairy shrooms. They are tough enough to withstand the beating of the clown, and clowns love them.

+1 Biff

My clown loves her fuzzy shroom ((or what Winyfrog refers to as a Galaxea :P))

 

[Smitty]

Thanks Biff, I may have to try that, cause my male is harrasing my duncans.

 

[EliWhitney314]

Whoa, that is beautiful!

 

[dcantucson]

Evan that is one beautiful Galixia (oops...I mean) Fuzzy Mushroom. I want one. :(

 

[dcantucson]

Smitty that sucks about your Condy. I didn't know that info either.
