Asylumdown's 275 Tank build

asylumdown · #1 03-23-2013, 12:06 AM

For such a minor change in my aquascape, that was a tremendous amount of work.

I 'cleaved' the rock work on the north side so that the anemone is more on an island now

Kind of hard to tell in that last pic, but the island the nem is on is only touching the rest of the rock work in one place, under and overhang that anemones don't seem to like to climb under. I left everything above the nem free of corals in case it decides to climb while I'm gone. If it does make it to the other bommie of rock, my roommate has promised to move corals out of its way.

I kind of like it, it created this little canyon that I think I'll fill up with zoas or LPS once the nem gets settled.

I'm not placing anything that I pulled off the rocks in the front until I know where things are going to live for good

and yes, yes I know BTA and magnifica anemone in the same tank. The BTA was an impulse purchase and I just haven't had the time to sell it yet. I'm sure it's going to walk all over the place stinging the hell out of stuff while I'm gone next week.

and remember kids, don't text and rockscape at the same time:

I got distracted an forgot that I had put these guys up on the lip of the tank. Found them an hour later quite dead. Oops. thankfully not my favourite pieces.

Got a new camera today. Obviously tested it out on the tank. Having a hard time because a certain someone insisted on photobombing every picture:

Oh Ferdinand. To you, I am food.

Didn't you try putting it back after finding it out? I thought corals can be outside for hours (low tide) and won't have any problem because of the mucus they excrete. Would have worth a shot.

Yup, I left a couple frags out overnight and they survived.
