My carpets

[luan67]

I have been in the hobby off and on since the late 1980s and have always been enamored by anemones. I went through phases of FOWLR, softies, LPS, and SPS but never felt like I had good luck with sustaining gorgeous tanks. My fondest "success story" was keeping two mags that grew over 18" and a yellow Fiji leather (> 24") under halides and due to negligence, I lost them years ago. Every time I'm on here, I thought maybe one day, I can have success and share with this community. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to secured haddoni carpets and last year a blue mag. Thought I share some pics here. Mag is in a 25G and the two haddonis are in 40G breeder. Hoping they still thrive and I know I need to get a bigger tanks one day. Sorry for the bad pics.

That "mag" looks a lot like a gig.

What percentage are you running the blade at for the 25 gallon ?

LOL. Yes.. As I was typing the post up, I kept thinking of my mag of old. It's a blue gig.

What percentage are you running the blade at for the 25 gallon ?

Peaking for 4 hours at 105% RB and B. 20% W. I also have 2 Prime 16 peaking at 125% RB/B. 72% UV. 25% White.

Can you share some photos in daylight? I like seeing the different colors and patterns of gigs.

I am a little confused. Do you still have these 3 carpets, or these are carpets you owned previously?

 

[luan67]

These are what I have now.

Are they still in these size tanks and how are they doing?

60 cube with a carpet and pair of clowns something I've been considering but wife wants the space for a wine cabinet

They are still thriving and I feel very lucky so far. I know that they need bigger tanks but I’m scared to disturb them since they have not moved much. Maybe because I do weekly 5G water change for both tanks?

Here is a daylight picture as requested and pictures from the tonight.

I keep a blue haddoni in a reefer 170 20x20x18" probably 30g with rock. This one has been in for about a year and a half doing great. Only problem I had is after 9 months it went from being front and center and moved around the side

Wow. Great color. I do find my Haddoni are more finicky and more often the gigantea.
