    more updates 019 (800x488).jpg

    I did some trading with a buddy of mine and got some new stuff. I no longer have the green striped mushrooms or red mushrooms (I know the reds were a nice color in the tank, but mushrooms are kind of boring to look at lol) I traded the green striped mushrooms for a frag of hammer coral, 2 heads, the green and pink one where the tips of the polyps are pink and the base/neck of the polyps are green and a small very pretty short tenticle plate coral. I traded my red mushrooms for a very nice piece of colt coral (in the process of being attached to a rock) and 2 frags of fuzzy mushrooms but I unfortunately lost them in the tank somewhere. I'll have to hopefully find them later. So, all together my inhabitants are:
    2 clowns
    skunk cleaner shrimp
    hermits and snails
    kenya tree
    trumpet coral
    devils hand
    hammer coral
    anthelia (pretty sure its the blue kind)
    blue mushrooms
    colt coral
    eagle eye zoos
    purple zoos
    frogspawn
    short tenticle plate
    coco worm
    feather duster

    wow thats an awful lot in a ten gallon aquarium. Looks GOOD. I am debating on a ten gallon or 20 gallon what do you think?

    Yea it is alot lol. I have the habit of wanting more and more coral eventhough I have no more room and need to let things grow out! lol. It all depends on what you preffer. I was either gunna get a 10 or 20gal but I ended up getting the 10gal because I really like the smaller nano systems and I found this tank for free! So it all depends on what you want. If you get a 20gal you can let your corals grow bigger than in a 10gal and have a little more water volume which will keep things a little more stable than if you get a 10gal. But it all depends on what your looking for and your experience level.
