20g Mini reef

SulfurAcid · 03-11-2008, 06:19 PM

Hi all, this is my mini-reef that I started just to see if I could keep a mini aquarium.

FTS

Coral Shot

Some more coral shots

Many more shots will come when i install my new DIY wetdry/refugium this weekend. Tomorrow I get some zoo's and some more live rock from Foster and Smith. The hammer coral is still a bit freaked out from the rearrangement. PICS TOMORROW!

Nice little tank. I like the rock work , one side rocks , one side sand !!!

Looking forward for progress pics

Got some pics of one of my polyps under the actinics. Alot of them are still freaked out from shipping, so I will take pics tomorrow.

Here is the one that was not freaked out, I'll get a full color shot tomorrow.

Lettuce Sea Slug, he eats some serious algae

Hang in for some cool palythoas tomorrow, as well as GSP and the rest of my zoos

That tank looks Radioactive!

I'd like to see those Zoa's with "white" lighting.

You're going to have to find a new home for that Lettuce, once it mows down your algea, it will starve. It won't look like it at first, but you will start to notice it shrinking as it does.

I don't think in a tank that small you will be able to keep up with it's need for food.

Heh, who said my tank wasn't radioactive...Radium!!!

Yea, I'm gonna get some full light shots after school today, and I think I know of a friend who could use the slug, but for now, he has plenty of food, if you know what I'm saying.

Here are some of my tank shots under white+actinic light. Some of the zoos still have not come out yet, but it has only been one day since shipping

Here are my lemonade zoanthids

Some chaeto that I got from OctaviusMonk, this stuff is top notch, kudos to Octavius, thanks a ton.

One of my three paly rocks, dunno what to call this guy...

Here is a pic of the palys fully open

Another shot of some live rock

Frank A · 03-14-2008, 08:51 PM

nice what kind of lights do you have.

SulfurAcid · 03-14-2008, 08:54 PM

I have a corallife double, total 135 watts. Its a nice light fixture.

**Deepwater** · 03-14-2008, 09:31 PM

Is that the same tank , you have more rocks , I like the 1st pic , both look good thou. Did you add new rock and recycle the tank >?

SulfurAcid · 03-14-2008, 10:03 PM

no, its the same tank. I just added more rocks, i actually have a better arrangement, with more sand in the front, but the lights are off, so ill post tomorrow.

My refugium/sump kicks in tomorrow, so I will post plenty of pics.

Set up reef today.

Here is the entire assembly shot

Here is my coral banded enjoying the setup

The sump area

The xenia, does anyone have a hope for this after the ammonia scare this morning, ammonia is at 0.25 from 10 this morning, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate.

Nice Fission Power Action
