James’s 29g Nano Build

[Goaway]

That would actually be amazing.

Obviously I would need to get more rock, but that’s a small cost. I’ll keep that one my ever ending list of things I need.

Not a lot more, but the right shapes. Glue and putty as well. To hold a ledge in place.

There are a couple of places a ledge will work out already.

Should I start dosing aquavitro reef fuel? Some say it causes algae, but a lot of them also say it’s a ridiculous amount to dose. So say I did 50% of what they recommend, and then dose that twice a week. Just so it’s not a TON of nutrients coming at the coral at once.

I’m hoping this will provide amino acids for the SPS and also encourage growth from my softies.

Dosing, is better for those with low nutrients vs high nurtrients. You are basically going to pollute your water if you dose.

I wouldnt dose anything in that system. Especially amino until you have 0 algae growing. Amino are like rocket fuel for algae. Ask me how I know lol.
Your still stuck on getting that tank spotless and controlling the nutrients your already "dosin" with regular water changes and feeding.
Let's get some space in between those rhodactis shrooms too. Notice how they are not fully layed out and extended? And shrunk up? I bet they open right up for you.
Have you seen how I laid my rock out in lagoon? Exactly how @Mibu has suggested. My floor is wide open for space. Look at the space im giving my shrooms Trust me the will love you for it.

Tanks looking great!

I do want to rearrange my rocks so that I have more floor space for coral. This way I can actually see all my coral and take pictures, instead of the ones in back being blocked by the ones in the front.

Someday… (hopefully soon)

Rearrange when you clean the rock.
Your not too far off honestly. I see coraline growing on back glass. A good deep clean like we keep talking about along with regular weekly maintenance will get you there pretty quickly.
That rock around the back and sides would be awesome for you. My fish love it. Alot more spots to chill and allows them to get in all the crevices. Would help with flow as well.

Torch gave me another heart attack this morning

Hammer is doing good:

Zoas are also looking fluffy:

Euphyllia can be traumatizing to keep. Wait until the heads split. It's ... Not pretty.

I’m starting to think I may have got ripped off for this hammer:

$60 and it’s the size of a quarter? Heck no. I’m never buying another coral that expensive again before I ask how big it is across.

That's a lot of hammers. They don't sell the momma's.

My phone isn't charged.
Also, hammer size varies on the species. I'll try to get pics once I get enough battery power.

I have one hammer growing in size, not splitting. I have one hammer who's heads are under a quarter and split often and never grow past a quarter size.

Edit: and no one has said anything other than fishy about my anemones speckles. I think it'll be fine. maybe he's just got ugly foot syndrome?

Edit: heres the difference between my fast growing mini colony and a gold tip hammer.

I've got a half dozen bubbles, and 5 other species of nems. Total number of nems in my nem tank is over 20. if it's staying attached and the mouth isn't gaping you should be good to go.

I’ve seen some baseball sized ones from @REEFTIDE and @Pieces of the Ocean for around the same price range, so that’s why I was saying that.

I will definitely have to ask next time I buy one.

Just got an email saying my POTO package has been shipped! Estimated delivery before 12:00 tomorrow.

I’m wondering if the hoodie will come with it? Or did he say it would be ready next month?

I trust your opinion. and appreciate it. Thank you!
It's odd, I did have a wild anemone. It just kept shrinking. No ssigns with being stick and the mouth kept shut and puckered up. But, My lord, it was a very tragic experience.

You aren't getting a nice size like that for 60 dollars. You will need to make some friends if you want a huge baseball size hammer head.

Edit: they may not ship well either.

Wilds are tough. I've lost a few...
