Thanks Barnacle blenny's are super awesome and perfect for small pico's. I also love little inverts. Found out the hard way you have to be careful though. I had sexy shrimp that were eating the zoas had to move them to a different tank. Then I got some more zoas and added some more rock and tried gluing the new zoas down (ran out of putty and was told reef glue would work) but the glue released some toxins into the tank (I'm guessing) and shortly after my cool blue spot anemone shrimp died and a little later found my pom pom crab dead Did a 30-40% water change and everything else seems ok. Still have a few zoas I have to stick down but I bought putty now. I'll have to go slow in adding as to much putty at once will create issues.

Beautiful nano, love the blenny. I use to have one, they have so much character...

I guess super glue can be toxic in a small tank, never thought that it would be harmfull but I'll keep it in mind for the future.

Keep the pics rolling please!

Ya I'm used to my big tanks so I didn't think a tiny bit of reef glue could be so harmful. I've been waiting till I get the zoas puttied in to take more pics but I'll try. Guess I should take some pics of the rock I added, you know you got to many zoas when you have to add more rock to the tank to make room

On an odd note my red hornet zoas look awful under the new light. Which is really odd since all the other zoas look nicer. Also getting way more algae growth with the new light, not surprising but a pita nonetheless.

Was that some utter chaos beside the rastas?

I don't think so (not sure which ones you're thinking of) but I'm not great with zoas name though. To the left of the rastas are armour of god pallys, above and to the right are maybe.....not sure but they sort of look like;

Nuclear Meltdown zoas



Is this the utter chaos zoas you where thinking of??? Sadly I don't have those. Got it off google image

(Actually on the first page,Rasta on the eggcrate top left).I'm really considering the PAR 38 now for my frag tank,they seem to be the ticket for a small tank.

Thought I'd share pics with the added rock and zoas. I was to lazy to use the good camera and download pics but I got some ok iPhone pics to share
