Norgs picotope nano tank.

Yay Zoa's one of my favorite corals, You should enjoy them when they start spreading, Looks like your off to a great start.

 

Yeah, I cant wait for them to start spreading. I have just recently picked up a pink candy cane frag and I am in love with it. Now that I have the equipment to keep corals that demand higher light I think I may be moving towards some sps and maybe another lps or two? you guys will know as soon as I do.

 

Id Suggest a Brain coral, but They would get to big for your tank I think

 

Looking great. Santa brought me one already. She just wont let me play with it yet LOL. After xmas Ill start setting it up. Would you do anything different from the start?

 

Hmmm... I am pretty happy with the way I did things. The only thing I didnt spend alot of time planning out is my coral selection and that is relatively flexible. The only thing that can really limit what I can keep is the size of my tank. Get a new light if you have the money. The one that comes with it just doesnt cut it. Running a sump/fuge would be a great idea. That would probably be the only thing that I would do differently. I am happy with my tank.

 

I was thinking it was about time for an update. Sorry it wasnt sooner but I have been working or just straight up busy over this winter break. With the some of the gift cards I recieved for Christmas I have some new coral additions! I picked up a green monti cap. In the store it was an insane bright green, but when I brought it back home it browned out a decent amount. I still love it but I plan on switching my 10k bulbs to a higher k rating bulb as soon as I can to get that color back again. I also picked up a green trumpet coral. Green is my favorite color if you cant tell

PICS!


The new monti.


The new green trumpet.


Very noticable growth in my palys.


I love these zoas and they are growing like weeds!


FTS

I also grabbed a hand full of chaeto from my lfs and put it towards the back of the tank in a hope to cut down on some hair algae. I also picked up a really tiny emerald crab and he is doing work! Not touching anything like my previous crab so Im happy. I am also thinking of how I could make a small fuge directly behind the tank. That would help me immensely.

 

Love the new additions, Keep up the great work!

 

I like how you glued the frag plug right to your rocks. lol, nice.

 

Haha I wasnt happy about it at first, but it will all be covered up eventually with coralline and I plan on covering the plugs with more zoa frags in the future. Wont even know they were there.

 

I just picked up a new acro today. Could someone give me a positive id? It wasnt very clearly stated at my lfs.



It seems to have taken very well to acclimation and has colored up very nicely.
