10 gallon Softie Tank

Diamond1 · Feb 22, 2014

Thanks Dawn I'm working on it.
Kiwi I haven't got a good pic yet. Only one polyp opened up on the little colony I'll see if I can get a shot of it.

Diamond1 · Feb 22, 2014

Not the greatest shot but here it is.

Also forgot about these
Watermelon zoas

Your doing a super job with this tank. I am enjoying looking at its transformation with your addition of corals.

Thank you very much. Now to let it grow out for a couple months.

A couple of pic after stuff is settling in.

The tank seems to be stabilizing nicely, although I lost a mushroom that came with the multi frag rock I got. It just never opened up and kinda melted away. Not sure what happened but everything else is looking good.
Got a new hydor nano 240 for some extra flow and added a new peppermint shrimp.

A couple shots from this morning with the actinics on

I hope your peppermint shrimp is better than mine. I had 2 and I watched them for about a week and then they disappeared. My cleaner shrimp is fine so I don't know if the peppermints are just hiding or if they died? There are some kind of little baby's in my sump that I wondered if they were peppermint shrimp???

Very nice tank. I love my 10 gallon, im just glad to see someone else doing a 10 gallon common. People would be surprised how much you can put into a 10 gallon, I have mine stuffed. Good luck with this nice tank.

So far he seems to be settling in nicely. He has molted already and the 1 aptasia that I saw, (the reason I got him) is gone. He is usually hiding behind the rocks but comes out when I feed the tank. So far so good

Thank you very much ofr the kind words. I like the 10 gallon too. Inexpensive and easy to maintain. I am looking forward to see this thing grow out.

Couple of updated shots of new growth.
Was told these were radio active dragons eyes when I bought them but they sure don't look like them to me.

My GSP are starting to take off!!

My monti is starting to encrust nicely.

Couple of new polyp nubs on one of my zoas.

My eagle eyes are not doing very well they seem to want to stay closed all the time not sure what that's all about. I have moved them around a couple time but can't seem to find their happy spot.

vlangel · Mar 16, 2014

I used to have radio active dragon eyes but they didn't look like that. What ever you have are nice looking anyway. Your GSP is growing nicely! Colorful monti. Everything is progressing very well.

That BTW I believe that unknown coral is a baby fungia plate. I see a few zoa's like that at my LFS that have them attached. Everything looks great!

Diamond1 · Mar 27, 2014

Thanks guys! A couple more new pics.

Went to the LFS today to buy a couple nasarius and astrea snails and found a bargain polyp frag for 10 bucks and couldn't resist.

vlangel · Mar 27, 2014

Oops, sorry Diamond. I asked if you re-scaped ( on another thread)but I see you haven't. Everything is looking good. Your clown is lookin' good.

Diamond1 · Mar 27, 2014

TY Dawn. I might re-scape a couple of things in the near future but not yet :wink:
Yes the clown looks absolutely great (the pics don't do her justice). I might have to pick up another one soon but I'm not sure yet.

Diamond1 · May 4, 2014

Haven't done an up date in a while so i figured I would since I got a bunch more corals today.:xd:
3 more montis
5 new zoa frags
Some orange rics
A frogspawn
and some various mushrooms.
I will post some more shots in the next couple of days after things get settled in.

vlangel · May 4, 2014

Hey Diamond, nice to see things progressing. Lookin' good!
