11Purewater Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'd probably do a sun coral tank,since they are non photosynthetic you wont need any kind of special lighting,just what's appealing to your eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cainechow Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yeah. The Suns are really nice looking but I'm not down with the feeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooper Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Duncans zoas and torch corals is how i would go with it the zoas for color and selection and the torch and duncan for movment all 3 easyer keepers and more forgiving of "spikes" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cainechow Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm pretty much committed to my little frogspawn. Interestingly enough I recently got diatoms and at the same time nitrates dropped from 10-20ppm to undetectable. Must be diatoms cleaning up the water. I'm going to wait some more to see if they burn themselves out and I'll see what my paramaters look like after that. If they remain good even after feeding the frogspawn, I'll get some shrimps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cainechow Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) So the tank finally stabilized out and it took me months to find Sexy Shrimp (Thor Amboinensis). I drip acclimated them for 2 hours, then temp matched in the bag. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-SVaev5TCPn8/UWoOuSmMHNI/AAAAAAAAKrI/nNLQdt4t76Q/s739/IMG_20130413_154703.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ub5WiGGqa6U/UWoOuZrzr9I/AAAAAAAAKrI/Qgn0xu4zJqc/s739/IMG_20130413_154732.jpg And then finally in the tank. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-EzgyVWa5CG4/UWoOuf55AEI/AAAAAAAAKrI/ui8w6h1peUE/s739/IMG_20130413_185024.jpg They weren't being all that sexy though. Just hanging out. <edit: image linking isn't working for me for some reason.

Cgy_Betta_Guy Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Nice... where did ya end up finding them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cainechow Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Ocean Creations on 16th. Apparently he never has issues getting them. He told me that we just have to let him know what you are looking for and he'll hook you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Nice. When I'm ready for a Barnacle Blenny...I see if he can get that little guy as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgy_Betta_Guy Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Barnacle blenny are awesome... had 3 of them in my SW Edge before they all died off. Love watching their eyes moving in opposite directions all the time. Feeding time was also pretty neat when they darted out to catch stuff.

cainechow Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I just figured out that I have two male sexies. Looks like I'm on the hunt to trade out one male for a female or buy a couple of females. I wonder if Ocean Creations will get me in some sexies just for me to pick out females!

cainechow Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) I did up a new video and I think I figured out the video settings on my phone. I think this is a little better. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rNLbuyAUwtY/UXIndR2pxAI/AAAAAAAAK3o/qzCJtB6djeM/s480-o/Thor+Amboinensis.m4v (I wish I knew how to embed this...)
