PinayReefer's 10g Turbid Lagoon w/Sump

[VWD]

Very Nice looking

Well, I'd wanted to wait, but for the sake of posterity, I'll show a temporary visitor in a tank that isn't ready for prime time yet. The tomato pair in my display just got on my last nerve, pushing an Echinophyllia out of its place and dropping it on my Mycedium. Only 10 minutes or so and already the Mycedium has a spot with skeleton showing. I've been threatening to get those two out for awhile now, unfortunately I couldn't catch the *#@$% (expletive deleted) pair, but Genie managed to snag the male, so he's in here until we can catch the female.



IT was just a little over two years ago I was caught trying to catch another clown, with my "karate kid" stance. How many remember that?!

I have to say that full tank shot is a real treat! Thanks ,

Tank is looking Great! thanks for the pics

I got home from work and Genie had snagged the female. The tale she told of the aggressiveness of that b%^&# made me glad we were evicting them. Then they started tearing up the nano!

I printed some copies of them spawning and tending their nest and took them to the lfs, within 5 minutes they were out the door to someone so excited about a spawning clown pair. We were both very happy, now got some substantial store credit!

one reefers troubles become another's treasure!

[yardboy]

Yep, a real win-win situation!

Looks great! Is that 15kK giving you any growth/color problems yet?

[yardboy]

It's a little early to tell, but I did put two small brains that were in my other nano and they appear to have bleached a little. I'm about to start some experiments that Tom and I have set up to determine if it will be adequate. I'll post to a thread in the Think Tank. You'd think that a 175W in a 10 gallon tank woluldn't be too little light. For sure the softies aren't bothered by too much light. I've got zoanthids up nearly at the top of the water column and they open up each morning just fine.

HAHAHAHA...that karate kid pic is TOOO funny!


I have to tell you guys...I am just in AWE of the way that rockwork turned out. It looks REALLY REALLY cool! seriously!

the tank is looking REALLY gooooood!!

great job guys!

[tdwyatt]

Heh!

Karate kid...

[yardboy]

The light switch was a little further away this time, so no "Kung Fu" stances on the nabbing! They're off to another home now, a FO tank, so no corals to throw around.
I'm gluing zoanthids here and there onto the rock work, along with softies. It looks very plain so far, but there are some small spots of corraline starting to show up. I've also added a couple of lps and one sps. I'm loathe to post a real tank shot though, as it looks so plain right now, but soon......

Confucius says: "Man who catches fish on one foot can acomplish anything"

[jlscrug]

Looks really cool!

I've gotten my technique down so that I can offer each polyp a mysis shrimp without a bunch of them escaping into the water column, so to assuage my guilt about not feeding them every day, I kept feeding them last night until they quit asking, four shrimp each! I got up this morning to find that their "mouths were bigger than their stomachs"!
Good thing I have no fish yet, as I'm afraid damage may have resulted, though I did see a Nassarius snatch a piece from the fungia frag. I'll try and capture a shot of that soon, as he's obviously loathe to touch the Fungia, so arches his proboscis up over the Fungia and siphons the mysis off!
