Smitty's 40 Gallon Breeder - I miss this tank :(

free food !!!! ;d;d;d;d;d

 

Exactly lol

 

I'm thinking of making this simply a softie tank. I really like mushrooms and I really want some Orange Ricordea florida. I like just having my 2 aquaclear 50's running, my skimmer and UV sterilizer running for flow. I have tried running my korrilla 425 and 550's in various positions with no luck. They cause my mushrooms to be "unhappy" lol. Softies are also cheaper, and with the ricordea, I can get a lot of color.

I am also thinking of eventually replacing most of my live rock with dry rock from macro rocks so I can actually scape this tank lol.

 

I think that'll look really good man! You can get all kinds of colors especially if you're looking at coral morphologic lol

 

Ty, I noticed that about coral morphologic lol. They have some really nice looking stuff. ;D Now to just convince the wife to let me make an order in a month or two.

 

Here are some updated pics:

My green shrooms. This started out as one head last July. Now there are at least eight!



Some red shrooms I picked up last November. They dropped two new heads last February.



The two new shrooms from the colony above. They were on the sand bed, so I moved them. They seem really happy.



My red shrooms that didn't like the increased flow from a few days ago. One of the heads is starting to recover though.



My GSP. Becoming one of my favorites lol. It looks really healthy in person.



Here are the fish lol









The two buddies:

 

I am thinking of trying to move the all the shrooms to one area in the tank and making some kind of garden out of them lol. I'm not sure if I will do it or not just yet though.

 

Thank you, I appreciate that. ;D

 

Great pics smitty! I think that's a good idea, can't go wrong with shrooms!

 

Man those shrooms are red! Lookin good! Love the wrasse, need to go to the LFS and have them order me a new one.
