Valeria December 5, 2011 December 5, 2011 Welcome to the club! taking down the 40G and will set aside some more corals for you. Let me know if anything caught your eye.
Dr.eclipse December 5, 2011 Author December 5, 2011 (edited) I honestly didn't get a good look at the corals in the tank. But I'm not picky Thanks again for the beautiful flame angel. Oh and the zoanthids are very nice as well. Edited December 5, 2011 by Dr.eclipse
FearTheTerps December 5, 2011 December 5, 2011 It always great to see younger kids interested in the hobby, I wish I had started sooner. Good job with your tank so far, hope the upgrade to the 40 goes well and will be the first of many more upgrades to come. You should upgrade your membership to a student member, its free for students and it gives you access to alot more of the website. I cant remeber if BB members can send PMs or not, but if you can send a message to Tom, screenname Origami2547, he is the membership director and get you set up with the student membership.
FearTheTerps December 5, 2011 December 5, 2011 How are your 3 clowns behavior with one another? Generally speaking you should only keep 2, a female and a male, but its possible to keep more if they get along. 2 of your looks to be on the smaller side so they may still be juveniles which means they should be peaceful with one another.
Dr.eclipse December 6, 2011 Author December 6, 2011 thanks terps. im trying to get the all stuff together for the membership, but im having a hard time finding my student id and report card. as for the clowns, they get along pretty well. some times the female doesn't want the black clown in the frogspawn and will kick him out. i added a purple crocea clam from my dads tank. his tank didnt have enough light it was showing signs of bad stress. so hopefully he'll recover in my tank while my dad gets better lights.
Dr.eclipse December 13, 2011 Author December 13, 2011 fts dads clam in recovery. my derasa new flame angel
Valeria December 13, 2011 December 13, 2011 is the tank alone? no sump? no refugium? give us details.
Dr.eclipse December 14, 2011 Author December 14, 2011 As of right now there is no extra filtration on the tank besides live rock and a hob filter. My new build will have a 29 gallon sump, with a fuge. equipment for the 40B skimmer: bubble magus NAC5A heater: 250W jager heater overflow: 700gph complete kit from glassholes flow: mp10 return: mag-drive 5 light: current sunpod ATO: jbj ATO
