My new 20G Thread

i kept a green dot for 3yrs in a 10gal! i found that to keep them healthy i feed them live tigger pods and a mixed blend of other copapods [live]. it took a year till he would eat enough frozen food to stay fat! nice tank gl

 

Thanks bsweezy. Im actually starting another 10gal reef and am trying to think of some cool ideas...
Any ideas guys?
Im going to be making my own rock structure from agr. rock and stuff. I know it takes a while to cure, but this is going to be a long term project....

Open to ideas...

 

Well, here are the new pictures as I said I would put them up here.

This is my new cleaner shrimp:


This is the new colt coral


This is a cool shot of some new hammer coral


This is cool shot I took of some new polyps that have spread.


Here is the tank as a whole. With my new mcclosker wrasse in the top right.


Here is my coral beauty getting her daily scrub from the cleaner shrimp


Here is a shot of my gsps growing very very dense


The two headed leather toadstool (my favorite)


More to come after I add some cup coral and get my new 10 gal nano going. The 10 gal nano will be all white sand, rock, and primarily for some experimentation on fragging. I havent made up my mind yet, but I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a tricked out 10 gallon nano. Something different that someone may have been thinking about trying maybe??? Im all open ears.

 

So here is the question:

I have a spare space for my 10 gal. I have the money and knowledge to do either a nano planted tank, or an even smaller nano reef compared to my 20 gal reef. I am not afraid of getting into co2 injectors etc, nor am i too concerned with a reef of that size...

What is everyones vote? Reef or planted tank?

Thanks. Im just curious on what to do next. Another reef or a planted freshwater?

 

I am going to make a sump out of my 5.5 gal..

Well, I gave in a bought a coral that Ive been watching. Its a Blue Sea Fan (Acalycigorgia sp.) Coral. It roughlt 6 inches tall and 7 inches wide. Its still not opened up yet. Ill post a bunch of pics once it does though.

I have it at low-medium flow, high light, and away from any type sand debit that may get on its polyps. Aside from target feeding, anything else I should know about these. I know I have to keep the calcium and magnesium up as well.
