GBOY & NUNU 30 gal saltwater build!!!

[needmorecowbell]

thank you soo much severum mama, thats exactly what i was looking for. i need to find out where to place my 4 acros. i like the birdsnest the most out of any of my sps, its growing well too. if your looking for a lps, go with an acan, they are really pretty and open up to filter feed. i love spot feeding mine. i started to like sps because of the polyps extending on acropora. i still like my lps more though.

Everything sounds great you guys!! congrats!

Lol thanks dude! Severum did give some gret information! Hopefully our new light will support a birdsnest... Could you post a pic of yours adam?

 

[stingrays4]

Hi looking really good,love the photo of you or your brother feeding the shrimp

 

[severum mama]

Nu nu, I've kept green birdsnest with less light than what you'll have after upgrade. Imo it will be fine. Place in top half of tank.

Oh very cool! I would like to get one, but i really want a hammer coral, and i know those will be fine. Do clowns host frogspawn or hammer coral? I think they do..

Thought i'd put up some pics...

 

[needmorecowbell]

They can host one, but it's not for sure. They can really pair up with anything. I saw one in a video with a leather coral.

I think you have added a lot of stuff since your tank finished cycling, and that you should slow down, let your tank get more established, and get a little more experience under your belt. I got overconfident as a beginner and paid the price... shoot for cautious optimism.

Coral, shrimp, crabs, and snails have a very light bioload which I think their tank can handle. The clown was added 2 weeks ago aswell. And their tank was cycled about a month ago. TBH I think they aren't rushing, they have no dead livestock or ammo or trites. But I wouldnt add a fish for another 2 weeks.

Just thinking in the future, im not going to buy it this week, or even this month.

Plus, after ordering this light, we will have a nice cash balance of $0.00...lol

I realize all this. I've been following the threads just as you have. My opinion is based on the same information that you just posted.

 

[needmorecowbell]

Don't you hate when that happens lol. The toadstool would be great when you get the light.

Dont they get like huge? I have seen some massive ones that dont seem fit for a 30!

 

[severum mama]

They do get huge, eventually. Many corals do. Google some fragging videos if you're curious... you'll need to learn how to do it eventually. LOL

Haha, i actually saw one last night on a different thread..he fragged a frogspawn! It was pretty cool!

Does a toadstool shoot off different parts? Or does it just grow up and out as one piece? Im not sure how i'd frag somthing like that in the future..

I've got a full grown leather in my 25g tank that frags himself every 1-2 months. It's the one at the bottom right

That dude is sick! Very nice! How do you frag him? Does he shoot off another section?

Also, are leathers sps? Or lps?

 

[severum mama]

Leathers are softies.

That's a nice leather, but it is not "full grown" and it's not going to stop growing. The dropping pieces off of itself is just a method of propagation. It doesn't mean that it is fully grown.
