Kevin's 36 gallon tank

[Convict2161]

Yeah as soon as the blue lights came on the frogspawn opened up, and the candy cane closed. The frogspawn doesn't close all the way up just about half way at night. My leather shrinks big time at night. Noticed part of it was laying on the rock last night I hope that's ok. The Duncan stays open day and night.

My leather sometimes will shrink ALOT at night. Pretty much most of my corals go to sleep so to speak when the lights are off. Looks like everything is deflated and they look dead almost. Then bam! Lights on and it's a whole different story.

I was just worried the leather touches the rock when it deflates and it still kinda moves and I was worried rubbing on the rock will hurt it

It will be fine

Cool thanks, I want to add more color. I like the dendro tony has but I don't think I'm ready for anything like that he is having a hard time with his

I would suggest star polyps, zoah and some mushrooms for some color.

Found a fish store in Columbia TN that has green chromis for 6.99 each and they have a rewards card that gives you 10% off. I bought two and they came to $13.74 tax and all. Acclimating them now

Can't get a good pic the light shining off them makes them glow toI much. I don't think my clownfish like them they are chasing the clownfish around. Guess they will work it out

 

[apet66]

I hope they all just get along. Congrats bro. You have 4 very active fish.

 

[kwandrsn]

Yeah they calming down a little now lol

My guess is cyano bacteria. I get it on my sand in areas where there is low flow. Your tank looks awesome!! I love your blue-green chromis. I can't wait until my tank is cycled. Those are the first thing I'm getting


EDIT!!! I meant to also tell you that you would LOVE a 6 line wrasse. They're great little fish. My brother has one in his 55.
