tank for view and input

[little2fishy]

so i figured it's about time i show my tank and get some input from you guys. I hope the pictures work.

this was what i originally started with, a 2.5g from petsmart for zoas only. 2# ls, 3# lr, coralife 18w pc and rio nanoskimmer. Currently this is being used to store frags until i decide on a good location in the 12g:

here's the 12g i got from DanSDFish. 10# sand, 12# lr, 55w pc, cpr skimmer using a remora preskim box:

some of the other stuff were from LFS, namely OG and Vets-Pets.

I got this from a LFS as a green ricordia yuma but the more i look at it the less of a yuma it looks. It isn't very green anymore, only when it's shrunken up can you tell it was green, as well as it looks more like pictures of fuzzy mushrooms. Anybody have any clue?

Very nice collection of corals in your tank. Perhaps if you move the rics to a nother location in your tank, they will come out more.:)

[little2fishy]

Thanks Poacher for the compliment. as for the rics I've actually moved it quite a few times finding the best location for it since i first got it. It's been there a while. High light areas it would lay as flat to the rock as it can and expand huge, but just have a faded purple color. In a more shaded area it extends its stalk a little more as well as not expand as far, but remains green. Not really sure what would be ideal for it, thought they tend to prefer lower light and lower flow.

I have the same problems with my shrooms and PCs. Im thinking of going for more actinics...

[seahorse_man]

Nice nano,where did you get that nice blasto from:rolleyes: :p :D ?Where is the green ric you got from me?Keep up the good work.

[little2fishy]

it's in the back of the tank so i couldn't take a picture of it. But definitely mucho thanks for that one :)

I am trying to lay out the tank so that it don't matter which angle or side you look into, there will be something there to see.

[SolRo]

paint the back of your tank, or glue on some of those faux backrounds sold at petstores. Will realy help your tank look better for almost nothing.


Cool softies overall though.

[little2fishy]

i was thinking about that too. I keep intending to bring home a piece of black foamboard from work for a background but always end up forgetting or too lazy. You know how it goes.
