Anemone Garden

TrevorHenryTDH · Jan 10, 2023

Figured I’d show off my little Joy of a tank. Considering selling it, also considering moving it to my new fish store I’m opening and propagating them in some sort of tote system.

17 clowns, probably 80+ nems
Simple 3 AI16’s lights and all the flow comes from a return pipe. Had a mp10 but wasn’t doing much. Might consider a GYRE down the line if things stay the way they are. Been up for about a year. Started with I wanna say 35-40.

Meanwhile I’m considering jumping into the SPS side and attempting to grow out SPS lol

Yeah I flip back and forth every couple of years. I really need to get 2 six-foot tanks and do both, but I would end up single awfully quick that way.

I was in the same boat, so I decided to open a store and now my old lady can’t say anything about me adding more tanks to my store

We are in Ontario, 60/Vineyard where global used to be. Right around the corner. Not open to public just appointments only. I post FS ads and when people wanna buy they come on in and hang out! Still work a 9-5 so it’s my 5-9 gig.

From what I know, at least, the majority of the group I got to start with started from one in a 29 biocube, and I believe after 2 years the entire cube was full. So technically it did

Wow those are fun. The only BtA I’ve had recently just grew by about 500% in about two months and I gave it to the LFS before it dominated everything. Do they usually stay bubbly?
