    Thanks, there are tons of caves and tunnels for fish to swim through, and let water flow as well. Today I hope to get all of my zoa frags mounted to rock and get my wiring cleaned up a bit for easier identification. Going to try to get some more pics up tomorrow, and maybe a short video.

    Well my sand bed isnt deep enough to keep the tube nem happy. Plus with the flow in my tank it is going to get beat to death.

    Solution :

    1.5 " PVC siliconed to a piece of acrylic. The pvc will allow me to insert the nem into the tubing and surround it with sand to protect the whole tube of the nem, and the acrylic will keep the sand from slipping out of the bottom of the pvc. I will then slide it into a cave in my rock work to protect it from the turbulent flow.


    Hope it works as planned.

    it ended up hiding in the rock quite well. I was affraid that it would stick out like a sore thumb. the nem is still mad at me and hasnt fully opened yet but it is working on it

    Cool solution I might just try that,as my sandbed isn't deep either, but epoxy some base rock rubble around the pipe to hide it.
