My new additions!!

[crazymman]

So my tanks been running for over almost 2 months now and my readings are all good. 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and about 10 ppm nitrate. I did my water change and I got all of these 2 weeks ago. I also got 10 blue leg hermit crabs and 10 turbo snails. All seem to be doing great and like i said they have all been in there for a little over 2 weks now. What do yall think?

 

[crazymman]

I was thinking of maybe adding some zoanthids this payday. Do you think that would be okay?

 

[crazymman]

Also wanted to post some pics of my tank and see what yall think. I was thinking of building my wall a little taller. Sorry for the crappy pics their with my phone.

 

[crazymman]

Or any lps corals that yall think would be good. Sorry for spreading out my post. I keep thinking of things to say lol...

Thats looking great. Sure get some zoo's or mushrooms they are really great beginning corals.

 

[Bifferwine]

You should be fine for corals! Mushrooms and zoanthids would be perfect, and they come in every color imaginable. Some LPS that would work are torch/frogspawn/hammers, bubble corals, or candy canes.

I love my frogspawn. It's simple and really cool looking.

 

[kwsm]

My frogspawn is the friendliest coral I have. It waves at me!

>_>

All jokes aside, it's really neat.

 

[crazymman]

My new Torch coral!! I think its awesome. Hopefully it thrives in my tank.

 

[crazymman]

The guy at my lfs said that i dont want my clowns hosting in this. Is this true and why?

 

[Bifferwine]

This is true. Corals aren't made to withstand the beating that clowns hosting can give. If clowns host corals, the coral will oftentimes close up and stay closed to protect itself from the clown. Larger corals will sometimes be fine, but the smaller the coral is, the more susceptible it will be to the clowns' aggression.

 

[crazymman]

Ahh that makes since. Well they havent even looked at it so far so hopefully they stay away. I was going to get some zoos tomorrow. Do you think I would be okay with adding a couple corals at the same time. Im not sure what effect they have on the bio load.

 

[Bifferwine]

Corals won't add significantly to your bioload, so you can add several at a time (unlike fish).

The tanks looking good.:D And congratulations on the new additions.:D

The LFS is right for a change.You really don't want clowns hosting your torch,which btw,looks very healthy.I find that they do better with supplemental feeding with mysis and cyclopeeze.You may need to shut the pumps off and scare the fishes away.

Congrats and yeah,it would look better if your rocks went higher up or even better,two separate islands.
