Umm...ditto to all of the above comments!

You find the 4x65W PC and 55W T5 to be enough, eh? How deep is your tank? The reason I ask is because I'm considering supplementing my current PCs with a single-strip HO T5 bulb.

Tank of the Month aquascaping Inspiring!

Wow thanks guys! I'm really loving this tank.... and I know there is so much space for growth with all the corals so it will only keep lookin better!

Sushiman, supplements come with small waterchanges, the addition of Kent Essential Elements (only once in a while), and reef calcium when needed. I feed the Tangs every other day Nori and/or seaweed selects, and the rest of the tank gets a mixture of enriched brine shrimp and PE mysis with Zoe or Selcon as an addative. I feed them every other day. I'm not target feeding any of the corals or the anenome, and the tube anenome seems to catch enough to eat out of the current.

Tony, long story about that BTA. I got him about a year and a half ago now, and put him in my 20 gallon reef tank. This is what he first looked like (yep that saddleback within a couple days was hosting in it):



Then, I really dont know what happened, but it hid itself under the rock like anenomes sometimes do. It bleached. It lost all its tenticles. You will notice it in the tank photo towars the left side of the tank, yes the white circle thing....

I kept feeding it and trying to pull it off the rock but with no luck. After a couple months, I thought for sure it was a goner. Then one day it decided to come out.... it just looked like a little white plate coral. I just left it, and within a month it had moved so I could pull it off the rock. I put it in my 33 gallon and there it stayed for over a year, growing and getting better and better.

And now, thats what it looks like! I've never seen those bubble tips so nice!
*whew*. I will never get another anenome. If this one wants to live- then I'm a happy camper.

Der_Iron_Chef, the lighting on the tank is working out great. Its not too bright for mushrooms to be at the top of the tank- yet I am getting great growth on my Monitporas, even the digitata.


Thanks again guys

What an amazing journey for the anemone. Yeah those bubble tips are amazing little spheres.
