Just as an update, I have installed a new bulb in my lighting. It is a 13W pc with one side 10000K and the other side actinic. The color it produces is better than the 6400k bulb it came with. I am even getting faint fluorescnce from my mushroom corals.
I will post some pictures soon.

Where'd the clownfish go?

I have replaced the clown with a bicolor blenny and it is doing great in this tank!

I am trying to chose what corals I can add to the tank. So far my zoos are doing ok and seem to be spreading despite the fact that they are a lot more pale than they were in my main tank. Mushrooms, colt, and xenia are doing great - no difference from when they were in the main tank.

At home I have some green and some purple monti digitata and some orange and some purple and some green monti caps. Would any of these keep under a 13w pc? What about a green candy cane?
If none of these are suitable options, does anyone have a suggestion for a good coral for this little tank?
Thanks,

Oh ya, I would love to find a larger diameter fuzzy mushroom to put in if anyone has one. I can trade zoo frags or Canadian bank notes for eligable corals.

hmm not posting this pic?

Are you for real? Your just joking right? :confused:

Anyway, do they make higher wattage mini PC's for that light? I know Panosonic has an ulta white energy saver at 26 watts that compares to a 110 watt bulb. It way brighter than any energy saver I've seen.

You could try monti caps, the worste that will happen is them fading. I had candy corals in a tank under NO lighting that lived, they didn't grow a lot though.

Haha thanks Ryan!




Danny, now you're joking right? This is an old thread that Steve brought back after he found that funny tang picture in one of my other threads. I was genuinely shocked that as a member of the FTOTM commitee you aren't familiar with my tank :eek: . Many nano reefers and diy'ers on the American boards consider this to be the finest piece of Canadian craftmanship since the Avril Arrow :razz: . This thread is really out of date, follow the links in my signature or look me up on RC (ninjafish) or Nano-reef.com (Fish) if you want to see where it's at now.
