Looks awesome. Now all you need is some crazy neon zoas or another type of candy cane (the neon green ones)!

Im going to look at a pink leather coral tomorrow, and will most likely get that! So wel see!!

 

[xwesx1978]

I like hammer coral , there supposed to be easy as well

 

[obscurereef]

Cool. Ever thinking about getting a clam in the future?

 

[Evansimp]

Lately I've been buying from local reefers, not lfs so I can't be to choosy haha!

I would love a clam one day, but my lighting is cheap, and I dont think a clam would really thrive! And my tanks still new, still want to make sure all is well you know!

 

[obscurereef]

Oh nice I bet you get lots of steals. Yeah I really want a clam, but I'll have to wait until my tank matures and I culture phytoplankton.

If everything works out, I'll be getting a 7" pink leather tomorrow for 15$

I don't even know what phytoplankton is so you can see how far I am from getting a clam haha

Jeesh that will take up..like half of your tank! not really, but what a deal. You're learning fast though .

They are, and really cool. I have had mine for a month and it is already splitting one of its 3 heads and has 2 nor branches growing. This is in a 4 month old tank and feeding with fuel. If I can make it grow anyone can.

Just picked up the coral! Have to say I'm not to impressed, but wel see how things go. It was only 15$ and he threw in a zoa frag!

 

[Bearchumjs]

Your tank looks great! The zoas will be awesome and that pink leather will probably grow in nicely!

 

[Evansimp]

Finally I get home from a weekend with my dad and my tanks not a mess!! Pictures!!

 

[Evansimp]

Remember this ugly thing?!

Now look at it!!

Thanks man! i appreciate it!

 

[Evansimp]

Just some picture updates! Tank is doing well!

 

[Evansimp]

Hey everyone! Just finished doing a big cleaning on the tank! There was algae everywhere, and so I got razors and pretty much scraped the entire tank! It looks 100% better and I changed up the scape a bit! Will post pics after water is done clearing up.

I'm going to cut the light time down to 8 hours, and I'm only using r/o from my lfs. I think some of my CUC passed without me knowing, so im probably going to get some more snails as well! overall, I'm very happy with my progress today

Just read your entire thread, I have a 10g? tank that came with my 29g sitting in my closet. I been dying to use it but still upgrading my 29g

That's crazy that your Coral Banded Shrimp lives with your YWG. I have both though I'm not their 1st owner, I didn't know they lived together, my shrimp is WAY bigger then yours he doesn't fit anywhere but on top of rocks LOL. and my YWG isn't yellow anymore Check out pics of them on my profile.

I just got an anemone a week ago and the shrimp is so feisty he has me constantly checking the tank to make sure he doesn't pick at it. I also have a CC star so I'm afraid to get any frags
