New Pic of 20gal SPS Dominated!(pic heavy)

yes in a 20.. and hes doing wonderfully! been in there for 2 months now. I may upgrade eventually, but dunno yet. hes just as happy as an anthia in a 70gal. if there is ever a problem i have no issue rehoming him...

 

nice coral and love the rock work

 

Thanks!! I actually just rescaped the rockwork a few days ago too lol My favorite aquascape so far!

 

With all due respect I highly doubt it will last.Waiting for a problem to rehome a fish thats clearly in too small a tank is not good husbandry IMO.
Your tank is gorgeous though.

nice tank. love the lps and zoa's

 

I'm so in love with your torch corals! Beautiful!

What's the coral in the 4th picture, first post? It looks so shaggy.

 

I was waiting for you to show up ;D I would have to agree that the Anthias would have to be moved in a little while. The tank is looking gorgeous, though

 

hehe thanks... unfortunately I just lost the green torch coral today due to BJD.. the purple one seems fine though so far. That 4th pic in the first post is an Acropora Millepora. Probably my favorite coral in the tank at the moment lol.

 

Your tank is very pretty, nice healthy looking corals.

I am going to apologize upfront if I offend you because I truly don't want to. BUT, you have 3 fish in your 20, one being an anthias and you also have 2 nems. Your tank is severely overstocked due to the type and size of your fish. A 20g. tank could house a nano fish comfortably but not what you have. And, have you ever seen really large bubbletip anemones? They get huge. My LFS has a large rose and it's the size of my foot. Don't be surprised if one of them decides your anthias or one of the other fish is a good meal because your fish have no place to move away from the nems. And fwiw, anthias are happier with others of their own kind. Additionally, don't be surprised if the one of your anemones moves and consequently kills your corals. Your tank is just too small.

I read vinnie's link about animal husbandry and our responsibility towards our animals. I agree 100%. I've said this so many times, and I'll say it again: my 65g. had 2 fish and both were no larger than 3" when fully grown. Several people told me to add more fish and I simply said, "NO, it's stocked just fine thank you very much".

 

omg... ok seriously? You do things ur way and ill do things MY way! My tank had been upa nd running as it is like a long time... i have been reef keeping for 1.5 years i know whatdoing!!! I KNOW the max size of everything in my tank!!!!
