Going to transfer corals over tomorrow! Can't wait for this tank to fill in. Going to order some fish too. I really like that jaguar goby!

Thanks Jeremiah. I am looking forward to it too! I think this go around will be even better than the first!

Did you get rid of your tanks?

Here is a video I made before I dismantled and moved most of it to the 40, traded in the rest and started over,

Moving over the mountains to glenwood spring was going to b hard enough, didn't want to complicate it with fish and corals. Will setting up again but will b a little bit - following your 40 build as I built my stand that I kept to a 40b dimensions.

That's amazing! Really nice colors on your Zoas and acro.

Thanks Jeremiah! The corals have all been moved to the 40 and are doing pretty well. I did lose a couple things and my greenbay packers are receding for some reason. I put a few heads of them into the 17 to try to save them. I think the 40 was too clean. Been feeding a lot more lately and things are looking better. I love the 40! It's filling in nicely.

Moved some coral and a few snails into the tank today. I have ghost fed the tank a few times, tested last night and this morning and 0 nitrites, 0 Nitrates, 0 Ammonia. Yeah! Here's a few pics. I will add some acros after a while. Zoas haven't all opened up yet but some have. I just put them in!

Those are Clavularia Sp. Commonly known as clove polyp. There are 2 varieties. The larger has an orange stripe that I picked up at Aqua Mart. The other has a yellow stripe and I got that from Seth.

I decided to move the zoas off the tonga branch and onto the rock just below where they were. I figured if I grew acros on that rock then the zoas would be hidden. I will use the Tonga for just sticks

Just realized how fuzzy my iphone pics are when zoomed all the way in. I will try the GoPro next time.

So, I keep trying to decide on the fish for this tank. I would like 2 maybe 3 fish. I had always had success with 2 the third fish always alluded me. Mostly they would jump out! So I am thinking of the ORA green banded goby with a pistol shrimp and the ORA Red Sea Mimic Blenny and maybe a yellow line Cardinal. Thoughts?

 

[Shaunv]

Well, I have slowly been adding corals to this tank and everything seems happy. I have been considering pulling all the coral out and making this tank an anemone tank with 2-3 clowns. I really want something different than my 40 which is a mixed reef. Thoughts?

 

[Miah2bzy]

There's a store in Fort Worth tx that had a display tank w just clowns (30+), store was called the true percula. It was really neat, had a ton of anemones and focus was on meeting the clownfishs needs, they bred like crazy and that's why there were over 30. Always wanted to do that in a tank someday...

Anemone tank for sure would be pretty cool!

Thanks! The coral that you are talking about is actually just an orange capricornis monti. It is no longer that bright it is way bigger now too.
