New Oceanic BioCube 14gallon!!!

Thanks. I love Xenia but not enough to overcrowd my tank. That is something I will really keep in mind.

I was at my LFS and I was checking out their display tank. The Xenia are all over, it looks absolutely amazing, I could watch them for hours. To be honest, I'm not sure what type of Zoa's I am looking for. I am looking to add some red and blue colors to my tank. But thats all I'm at right now...lol.

I was looking at Sun Coral. They are absolutely gorgeous when they are all bundled up on a rock. Now as I'm aware they don't have specific light requirements you just need to feed them 3-4 times a week?



Thanks to Lando for that picture he posted!!! But thats what I am talking about!

I've never seen any of those anywhere. Are they expensive?

YELLOW ZOAS



Just trying to help here, but those look more like Aiptasia Anemones... Can anyone else confirm/deny that for me? I had these all over my 60 gal, and it was really a losing battle. Dont the zoas have more "stubby" fingers, for lack of a better term?

Given the spacing and side profile of them I would say they are aips. Try some Joe's Juice.

Really? Uhoh, that's not good. I was wondering why they did not look like normal Zoa's. Hmmmmm

I would suggest reef crystals if your keeping corals since reef crystals has more calcium

Yes, thats exactly what I have been doing. I use RO water I buy in 5 Gallon boxes from my LFS. I do daily parameter checks and water change every 4 days. Everything is going well so far. *cross your fingers* No more fish for that tank anyways...lol. Now I will take my time with corals.

I was looking at Pulsing Xenia and more Zoas to add eventually.

Your tank looks awesome! how much water are you changing out per change?

Sun corals don't have the symbiotic algae that most do to get their food from the light. The open their polyps mostly at night or when there is food around. You do have to feed them often. The only thing i didn't think about when i got one of these is that because of they hand feedings all the time it really can cause your problems with your nitrates in a nano. I have to take mine out of the tank in another container and feed it there.
