15g cube from the start , pictures all the way

[tonym10]

Temps with ice probe chiller after lights were on 10 hours is 81.5 .
I have not put a fan in the canopy but I think this temp range should be ok . 79 no lights to 81.5 with lights on. Before chiller 83.5 to 86. SO the Ice Probe is keeping my 14g down 4.5 degrees.

I got the corals from phishybusiness today. I had to put them in the tank then come to work. I will post pics tonight of them. They are all really nice. There are more acans on each rock then I expected. Three acan rocks plus he sent me a free 4th acan rock.
Colors are all excellent. Pics later.

Here are pics of the new corals. I placed them in the tank in temporary spots, some of the spots made it difficult to get pics. SOme I could not get pics of. I could not be happier with these corals .

here is a close up of the first pic

And this is the free acan that phishybusiness sent me

those corals are beautiful, and out of curiosity how much were they and how much was shipping?

 

[tonym10]

The total was $550 with shipping, not all of the corals are pictured.
2 of the corals were Blastomussa Wellsi, they were $119 each. The brain coral was $39. The rest of the money was for the Acans and shipping. Phishey gave me a deal on 4 Acan pieces with a nice number of heads on each rock instead of buying one piece for $300+

Keep us updated on your tank. Looks like it's gonna be awesome. Have you had any thoughts on your lighting? Do you think they will be strong enough?

 

[tonym10]

The lights will be strong enough for what I plan to keep. Just acans, wellsi, brain, zoos, mushrooms.

I just got a box of corals that was suppose to be delivered to me by fedEx on friday, it is now monday. They have been in shipping for 4 dasy now. Couple ricordia and zoos for nano, and a frogspawn for my 75g. I will see later if I throw them out or if they open up.

 

[tonym10]

I put the corals in cube. The Ricordias and zoos do not seem fazed about being in shipping for 4 days, they all look good, the frogspawn has a chance I would say.

 

[tonym10]

Today i moved my nano to my work office. So far so good.
Everything seems to have made the ride ok. I just need to get a couple fish now. The corals are all doing well.

 

[tonym10]

Bicolor blennie, and a yashia goby shrimp pair will be here tomorow, then my nano will be complete.

Got my randals pistol shrimp and yasha gobie, and bicolor blennie today.
The blennie perched on a rock and did not move, the shrimp made a home in the very back of tank, and the gobie hid in a rock. Hope they come out tomorow. I might need a swimming fish in this tank, any ideas?
