20g cube : A Reintroduction to the Reef

[Sniperhank]

Nice looking zoas. I was just thinking on if I should add more of them someday to my system while I was looking over the aiptasia today.

Every tank could use some zoas IMO, but I may be biased

New zoas weren’t open yet when I took these but here’s the new rfas

[BigRedsReefs10]

Been a while lots of additions but I picked up 3 acro frags today to try and get some variety. I’ll post some pics when the lights come on but for now here’s some zoa shots

Pink Constellations



Fire and Ice



Rastas



JF Stargazers



Mandarin oranges, 2 more baby heads on the back too



Bam Bams



Couple rfa shots

Love, love the RFA.

My lfs had a 5 for $100 deal, but just don't have any spare cash.

[BigRedsReefs10]

That’s not a bad deal, they go about 30 a piece here for the standard ones.

[Autumnsky]

These were all glowing colors under the blue lights, red yellow green blue orange. I'd say medium size. Bigger than a quarter up to 50 cent size.

Lately the most I have seen in that pricing range have been dime to nickle size for 30-35. Majority dime size. Very small to me.

The very basic ones are around 15 - 20 often will glow at least somewhere on it, but not always. The regular not super fantastic ones are up to around 30-40-45.

Love your Blue green one, is the 1st and 3rd one the same or different ones? 1st pic. The way the light and dark blue to white is gorgeous, set off by the green center. That pattern is a favorite. There really aren't any I don't like though. Even the non fluorescing are interesting.

Keep tempting me with those beautiful pics!

[BigRedsReefs10]

Ya same one, the 3rd pic is just towards the end of the light schedule where it’s almost all blue light.

[bribo12]

Acro pics!?

[BigRedsReefs10]

I’ll take a few pics after work but they seem to be adjusting well, fingers crossed, never had to much luck with acros

[bribo12]

Just gotta whisper sweet nothings to them man!

[BigRedsReefs10]

Is that the secret?!?! What you think 5-10 minutes a night?

[BigRedsReefs10]

Ok super delayed but here we go.

Highest mounted one, no namer I believe.


2nd no name, seems to have some green in the base and in the smaller growth.



Snail keeps tipping it to an angle so I think I’m going to trim the plug a little to better fit and put a little glue on it today during the water change.

3rd is a tabling acro, Red Robin according to the lfs.



Might move it up a couple inches and glue it to the side of the structure to get it out of that little bit of shade, though it has colored up a bit and seems ok there too.

And a paly shot of one of the 5 frags I got from a buddy last weekend too.



The pics are pretty blue since I took them during ramp down and forgot / was to lazy to turn the whites up.

Also half of the next duo of inhabitants is in the tank, hope to pick him up a buddy this weekend.

Nice first one may be a type of tenuis, second definitely looks like a Mille and third looks like a stag like they said. Definitely have some coloring up to do but polyps are out and they look good!

[Autumnsky]

Really pretty! The greenish base on the 2nd one is pretty exciting to see what comes of it.

I thought the second one looked a little different but couldn’t put a name to it, thanks. So far so good, I’ve been whispering sweet nothings to them like you suggested, lol.

Ya I like that one, it’s always got polyps out and doesn’t even seem to mind me having to straighten it up once or twice a day

[BigRedsReefs10]

Other half of the duo acquired

[BigRedsReefs10]

Well just went into the room and realized I left the mesh top off the tank for a little over an hour after adding the yasha, don’t see it on the ground anywhere but the cat could of been in the room, will have a better look when I turn the lights back on in an hour or 2. Fingers crossed

Hope it was way down in back behind a rock. That is a bad feeling, wondering like that.

Still haven’t seen it, but not entirely uncommon for shrimp gobies.

Got a few corals from my daughters for my birthday

Orange lepto I believe (wasn’t there)





Couple acros

Lunar eclipse zoas
