Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

So, my clowns lay completely still inside my dinner plate trachy radiat-a(if I put the a next to the t it changes to radiate)... they've been doing this for a two years now. Like, literally inside all the folds where the mouths and tentacles are. My coral banded shrimp also walks all over both trachys until the clowns see him and begin WWIII.

I wouldn't call them voracious carnivores. Feeding response is so slow, they lose more food to flow in a completely stagnant tank from just fish swimming than they can eat.

You’re stressing me out, if anything gets near my trachy they’re toast. He poops out about 5 amphipods a day at this point

Woodstock is swimming everywhere. And I think until we see it morph otherwise, it's a boy.

 

[LadyMac]

Woodstock is so pretty!

Woodstock is so pretty!

Thank you. Andrew loves him. I want to see more of your lights!

 

[Katrina71]

Fingers crossed we get this little guy plump.

So how would y'all scape a 30"x30" tank?

With rocks ;Hilarious

Your use of HE made me ask. We were told she, but I am questioning that. I understand Woodstock is very juvenile.

Actually I am not sure, I think males have the long pointy dorsal fin, right?

Yes.

 

[Katrina71]

Speaking of rocks. I'm messing with some structures now.

 

[Katrina71]

Trying to learn arches. I suck at it so far.

 

[Katrina71]

I want something interesting, but functional.

Swim throughs! I really like the caribsea shapes for making caves and arches.

Hold that thought. Andrew has a project due on 1/30. Build the Great Wall of China.

I would do one big structure, maybe two, with lots of little islands.

 

[Magellan]

What sort of corals will you need space for? Functionality over Form imo

Fishy Business had some of this is stock saturday. Its Caribsea rock and makes great structures. They has a big Stonehenge arch that was right at 16" tall and about 20" wide with all kinds of ledges and flat spots... actually, that may be it in the last pic.

@Katrina71 for arches, the easiest way is to build up a small structure or column, then glue a flatter or curved piece extending from the top of the structure.

Then you can either use a longer, slightly curved piece to rest against the portion that jets out from the the top of the structure.

For larger archways towards the top of your tank, you just have to break up the pieces of rock you buy until you get a nice curved piece that wedges between two columns real well.

It’s like winning the rock lottery.

You know that took several generations and lots of dead bodies to fill in, right?
