syeve's JBJ 28G build

Quick update/question (of course )

I made a little bit of an impulsed buy...A BTA and a couple captive bread percs.

NOW, the question...the BTA was pretty big in the store, but I thought it wouldn't be too bad. I got it home, and two days later it spread out to like half the width of my tank. I'm assuming that this will effect my bio load? Will this be too much load? Does the mushroom that doubled in size going to effect my bio load?

FTS (my DSLR is at a friends, sorry for the crap pics)



The culprit




The mushroom thats growing...



The tank is doing great, I am just worried about the size of these things...also, notice the new star polyp! I love it! Color is crap in these but it look florecent!

Thanks for looking!

Yea, a BTA is a bit of an impulse buy.. haha It will probably affect your bio-load just because of how new your tank is. But keep up on your water changes and tank parameter consistency and you should be ok.

Tank is looking really good though.

Well... your tank looked great...

i just started my tank week and a half ago, and i can't wait to have my tank looking like yours..

i have the same tank as you, and i saw you have a power head in your tank, do i need one too. i noticed the my sand is getting dirty by days.

Here is the picture of my tank.

Thanks!

Josh, yah, total inpulse buy...It was always the end goal of my tank to have a hosted anenome...just a little sooner than I planned (and a little bigger than I planned).

jalemboo, I like the power head pointed towards the surface, it creates a lot of surface movement and the inhabitants seem to really like it. You prob don't need one but for like 35 bones it's money well spent. All I can suggest is read a lot and leave your tank to cycle for as long as you can. I got a small clean up crew at week 5...havn't looked back sinse!

Thanks for looking!

Your tank looks really good, i started out with the same tank, unfortunatly i had to sell it to get lights for my "new to me" 110g. I do miss it though. Here are some pics of what it looked like before i moved everything to my new tank. I still miss it. If your careful where u put everthing you can have alot of diversity in these tanks.

Just a couple of new pics..sorry for the quality, I had a lot of sunlight shinning in and didn't feel like closing all my blinds.

Nothing really new, tank is doing great, no issues!

Thanks for looking!
