Acclimating-

New Zoas


Mushrooms


Orange Frogspawn and Snowy Duncan


Different pics of zoas- rastas didn't open all the way tonight and neither did the gobstoppers. Jokers opened a little but not all the way. Others were completely open.



Pic of zoas I already had but I just like them-


And current FTS!-

Aquascape is looking nice

Thanks!

Well.. as much as I would like a yellow watchman goby/pistol shrimp pair, I think I will eventually add an orchid dottyback and a cleaner shrimp to finish off the stock list.

I just don't think the goby/shrimp pair will be active enough for me.

No new updates really. Waiting on things to grow out for a while now, unless I see something at the LFS that I just can't live without. Haha

Have a zoa losing a color and a couple more not opening all the way so I'm going to move them up a little in the tank.

Need to work on getting things off the sandbed and onto the rock.

That's all

Last FTS I took. Moved a couple things around last night but didn't get a shot yet.

Your tank and corals are looking really nice

Very nice. Love the rockscape. 20G long was my first tank and still one of my favorite dimensions. This is what mine looked like:

Updated FTS.. nothing really new. Moved some things around.
Found a Trochus that found its way into my Koralia , but other than that, no other fatalities.

I have one aiptasia on my GSP that I noticed when I first got the frag. It's getting bigger but it's still small. What's the best/cheapest way to nuke one of those?

When I had aiptasia in my old 29, I got a few peppermint shrimp and they took care of them. But I had more than one aiptasia in there, I don't want a peppermint shrimp in this tank.

This ric is huge!

The tank is looking fantastic! As for the Aiptasia, Red Sea makes a product called Aiptasia-X. It basically melts Aiptasia on contact, but didn't hurt anything else in the tank. It comes with a syringe so missing is very hard to do...

Are you sure you don't want a pep shrimp? Typically if there is one Aiptasia, there will be more... It couldn't hurt to have one for a few weeks, and you could always bring it back to the LFS later on.

Thank you!

I will look into aiptasia-x. I've inspected everything I've put in before going into the tank and now. I still only see that one since the day I got it. I debated on even putting it in my tank. I'm pretty set on no peppermint, though.

 

[HowardJ02]

I love seeing new growth!

Few random shots from tonight.
Excuse the bubble algae on the bambams

Your tank looks great. I love that yuma! If you only have one aptasia you might try to just superglue it closed. I haven't tried it yet, but it's going to happen an about 5 minutes Aptasia X didn't help me at all.
