The Pico Tank where we are holding the two baby clowns for now.
The maroon clown is just too aggresive and independant for the nano cube that once the two small clowns mature (and pair up) they willl replace the maroon.

Im scared they may not pair up and mate, if they dont then I will have to purchase a mated pair :(

Two little feather dusters that survived my old blue tang constantly picking at them. Now safe in the pico tank.

This Anenome is the Size of a pennie :) fits perfectly in the tank, the clows have been curious, but still have not hosted.

This pico is starting to become a small hospital tank. I bought a peppermint shrimp for a few small aptasia polyps but the sixline wrasse wouldnt stop pickin at him, so into the pico with the shrimp, this actually is awsome cause he eats the food the clowns miss.

Small update
 

Hey all,

So some bad news, the ricordia I introduced (not sure if they were yuma or floridia) had cyano. I did notice some dark algea when I purchased them, but I was really hoping the Iodine bath and gentle scrub was going to rid them of the bacteria. Alas, I failed. I HATE YOU CYANO, x10! (thats alot of hating)

I picked up a coral banded shrimp last night after work, so far he is just hiding in the back :( Im not sure about aclimating livestock when the lights in the tank are off. I wont be doing that again though.

Today I picked up a tuxedo urchin with 3 zoa polyps and a nice green mushroom that the urchin has been carrying around. He is being drip acclimated as we speak.

The prices at Golds Aquarium cannot be beat! In the last two days my fiance and I (and our baby Liam) have made the rounds to all the reef stores, and still Golds has the best priced frags and some of the fish and inverts are cheap aswell.

THANK YOU GOLDS AQAURIUM!
Cheers guys

Im very excited for the gsp (green star polyps)! Ive always wanted a matt/garden of this flowing neon grass. We glued the gsp on the back wall of the tank.... keeping my fingers crossed. I re-directed spray from the spray bar to hit the back wall to keep the gsp moving. :wink:

Thats that for now.

The tank looks great. I really like that you've pulled the top off and suspended it. I'm sure that really helps oxygenation and to prevent it from overheating.

I'm wondering if there is any way you could build a black acetate cover of some sort to hide the contents of the back chambers from the front view? I'm thinking I'd like to suspend the top of mine, but I'd still want to try to hide the back chambers.

GSP is fun, but before you know it, it will take over your entire tank. I got clumsy and now have it everywhere! :D

The Pico is nice, and your nano is coming together very well! Keep the updates coming!

Hey thanks soaptray! Someone IS watching this hey? Im encouraged by this.

I can only hope my next problem or bump in the road with this tank is having TOO much of any coral
If you still have some, Id love to purchase it from ya?

Great setup. I have JBJ 28Nano LED version and was wondering how did you do your plumbing with the sump. Did you drill the tank? Thx
