Naked JBJ 30 Rimless

M@! · Jan 17, 2013

Well since JBJ has it's own forum I guess I better start a thread for my 30G. My 20 Long had been running for a solid 1.5 years so I decided to mix it up and see how everything would look in a BB 30G JBJ. I moved everything over on 1/1/13.

FTS 1/1/13

Fish
Female SA Picasso
Male JCA Picasso
Purple Firefish
Sixline
2 Barnacle Blennies (I can only find one)

SPS
Bird of Paradise
Hawkins Enchinata (died in move)
Green Birds Nest
Blue Stag
Blue Tort
Ponape Birdsnest
Idaho Grape Monti
Dr. Mac Fireball Monti
Green Monti w/orange polyps (not sure name and was dying to I moved it to a pic)
Tyree Montipora aequituberculata
Red Monti

Zoas
SC Orange Rainbows
Gobbstoppers
Darth Maul
Fire & Ice
Keds Red
Utter Chaos
Mohawks
Pandora Paly's
Couple of other random zoas

Other Stuff
Nuc Green Candy Cane
Crocea Clam
Red Acan
Green/Purple Acan
Tyree Alien Eye Chalice
Hollywood Stunner Chalice
SRBTA
Purple Seafan
Rics

Hardware
Tunze 6025
2x Koralia 4025
2x Whatever the stock JBJ powerheads are Tunze 9002
Lights = bridgelux 8 CW, 8 RB + 2 Cyan Luxeon & 2 TV (no name brand from Steve's)

The Tunze 9002 is a perfect fit in the overflow chamber with a few mods.

FTS from 1/16/13 withouth any pumps on, my RBTA is getting huge! Hawkins died after first water change. That sure added some nice color to the top of the tank.

Nice! Quite a collection in there. Any trouble with the BTA stinging corals?

Sweet tank. A lot of beautiful candy in there.

Thanks, it's nice to have a great local club for trades. BTA just started extending to my other rock structure this week. I just added another Koralia 240 to blast it away from the SPS side of the tank. Hopefully that will keep it away. If not, I might setup a 20 Long nem prop tank and cut it.

Appreciate the comment, I had a ton of fun building the scape. I really enjoyed working with the Marco rock.

Thanks, any pics of your setup? I've been very happy with the tank.

Already starting to get some corraline growth on the two week old Marco rock.

I added two Barnacle Blennies yesterday. They were tiny! One took residence at the front of the tank. I haven't seen the other. For size reference the zoa in the picture is small, less than 1/4".
