True they are not actually anemones, but they are called tube anemones. The article I lined to is a little out dated but has some good stuff. Lame.

Oh sorry about all the crappy iphone pics.

Got a few more frags from a friend today. See Below plus a few pics of fish.

Do I win the nem?

Is it not the same as whats in this link? http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2004/6/inverts

Tube nem?

Thanks. It is coming along slowly, but its coming.

Well first I want to say very nice tank, but 4 pages to find a FTS is a little much. Haha just play tank looks great love the scape.

Those corals look awesome and the shrimp is even more awesome. Where can I find a FTS in this thread?

So I uploaded some pictures to my photobucket and saw this picture thought I would share it. This is my old 40 breeder prior to it crashing. And here are the current pics. FTS First The first four are from Bruce And just a few others.

Well I just had the tubing hanging over the edge and when it started to fill I guess it just came up and fell out. My fix is to snap the lid on next time which is what I normally do. I will get some pics later. The achilles is a beautiful fish but I really like the orange, yellow and blue of the Powder Brown.

Picked up a few frags from Bruce (bbyatv), who has a great looking tank, yesterday. Grab a green slimer, green birds nest, green cap, and yellow digi. I know a lot of green. By the end of the day they were showing polyp extensions. So far I got 2 clowns, a bangaii cardinal, 3 blue green chromis, a 4-5in yellow tang, royal gramma, a Powder Brown tang and a diamond goby. As far as corals go, I have orange cap, green cap, blasto, torch, Birds of Paradise, and those mentioned above. I just wish I could get my Red Planet and a few of my millis i lost in my crash. I also flooded my basement floor yesterday when my RODI line fell out of my BRUTE for a few hours. Luckily I have tile floors in the basement and there is a low spot in the middle.

Well the side tank isnt real pretty right now. Lots of hair algae. but that is better than in the other tank I guess. Couple of additions.

A few pics of what I got so far.

Sorry it took me a while to reply. I really like the lights. They seem to be very well built. They are very easy to use and configuring them is a little time consuming but once done they ramp up and down nicely. I just completed a 140 gallon water change (about 75%). Due to my ammonia being so high at the beginning my nitrates were extremely high. I decided a huge water change was the best way to drop them. So now everything is looking good. I just got 2 clowns a misbar occ and a misbar mocha occ. Hopefully everything is balanced out and more fish and corals to come.

Well the ammonia is now undetectable and nitrites down to .1. Looks like we are getting close to the end. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got the Saliferts. I have definitely thought about doing something like that. The only concern is I want some nice display macro algae and I know a mantis will rearrange/hide the macros. I havent figured out what exactly is going to go in it. But that is definitely an option.

Getting closer. Ammon: .25 Trites: .2 Trates: 10 I finally ditched the API tests. After comparing the results I am glad I did. Accoring to the API kit, I would probably be cycling from 6 months.

We had a Christmas like that. Turned into heavy drinking and strip jenga (I would suggest a faster game). Sometimes you just gotta get creative.

I get mine from a chaeto from an established tank. I'm sure some will come from buying corals also.

Got a nice solution for the Mantis. See my future display fuge/predator shrimp or frogfish home. I am really tempted to use my fuge to keep something I can't keep in a reef. Nice looking tank btw.

Thanks. Just trying to be patient. I thought it was hard with one empty tank to look at, but now I have 2 empty tanks to look at. LAME. Even my wife is asking when I am getting fish.

Well ammonia is dropping and nitrites and trates are on the rise. Here are a few pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cool thanks. I will probably order them in a week or two. Just ordered the LEDs today so I need the bank account to build a little.

Thanks. What do you think fo the WPs. Always a little nervous going cheap, but I hear mixed reviews on them. Thanks. I hate cycling. Patients is not really my thing.
