:D
 

Thanks! And I am so far from done!!!!!

STILL WAITING
 

So I am still waiting for lights. I have a small light over half my tank as I acquired not one... but TWO beautiful RBTAs from Kona (Jason). These are absolutely amazing in color and they bubbled right up after they hit my tank.

Very bright red. I added my clowns and I am hoping that with the RBTA in there, and nothing else to distract them, that they will take to one of them.

They have a habit of hosting my frog spawn and bubble.... so why the hell should they ignore this beauty?!?! I hope they don't. I ma going to try some of the things people have posted in the past about hosting tips... picture on glass of clowns hosting or the flower pot.

Time will tell.

I also threw a couple more zoa colonies in as I am slowly moving stuff from my old 20G into here and if I can add some now... then when my light arrives it will not be such a huge chore.

Anyhow... I will try post pics of the RBTA later. Again they are beautiful... definitely a future show piece!

Current Stock
 

Well awaiting lights but here are some things going into the tank....

Rose Bubbletip Anemone (Thanks Jason**Kona)
Acan Lord
Red Frogspawn
Green Bubbble Coral
Red Chalice (frag)
Favia (red with neon green mouth)
Montipora Capricornis (red)
Montipora Capricornis (neon green - frag)


countless Zoa and Paly

I am most likely adding GSP to the backside of my rocks as it is a swim around aquascape. I will let the GSP grow over the back to add dimension as opposed to putting something "nice" back there.


I have some more stuff.... but not sure what I am going to add.

This is a start and once my lights show up I am going to have a whole bunch of fun!

SUCCESS!!!!
 

Soooo my Ocellaris finally started to host something asides form a bubble coral or frogspawn.

I set this tank up... and added the clowns and RBTA within days of each other. No action. I added a picture to the side of my tank with an Ocellaris hosting an RBTA and now 3 days later.... HOSTING!!!!!


This is the first time they ever took to an anemone!!! No I can add other corals with the hopes they stay in the RBTA forever!!!!


WOHAHHAHHAH!!!! Good day after all!!

Light!
 

My lights will be here tomorrow! Its been a long wait but its finally time to shine! ha ha ha!

Lights
 

Deal fell through. I am lightless and not happy.

are these comming from a supplier or a fellow hobbyist? (did I even come close to spelling that right? I dunno...not enough coffee yet)

Either way, I'd see if you can get some other lights pronto.

From another reefer.

hopefully you didn't pay in advance. I'd call it a wash and just order them from a supplier if you can then.
