If referring to the mandarin in the second pic, that is actually a spotted or target mandarin. Very different coloration

The anemone looks like it's grown already!

Don't want to hijack the thread but here's some more aquascape ideas. Subtle differences between the 3:

No problem brother anytime, and I would say it depends if u gonna do all sps or mixed or what, but I really the last one

 

[Martini5788]

I agree, the last one. But that is if you aren't gonna do corals that take over because all the rocks are connected

 

[Miguelh1302]

Exactly martini u do have a point with that, no gsp for u Johnny

 

[BigJohnny]

Thanks for the feedback guys. Yes I like the last one as well, only way to get a bunch of caves (which I want for my fish) was to connect everything. I could put gsp on that lone rock in front corner haha, or back wall. What other corals take over like that?

Leptastrea , Cyphastrea, Favia, Mushrooms, chalice, those are just a couple, but I truly believe that every single coral can become a problem if we don't check it almost every week

 

[BigJohnny]

Well I don't like mushrooms so that one's easy, I will be getting some acans and maybe favia but putting them on sandbed probably, same with chalice. Anything that goes crazy I can just trim eh?

 

[AdamNC]

I just got some of these. Do you remember what their trade name is?

 

[Miguelh1302]

Some kind of zoas zoanthid, not sure of the name

Exactly my point, if we are on top of it, nothing can go out of control

Lights n new tank hopefully arriving next week [emoji3]

 

[Miguelh1302]

Finally mate

 

[BigJohnny]

Lights Tuesday, tank Wednesday unless I find one locally before then that isn't bowed!

 

[BigJohnny]

Let's see someone pics vids today eh? I'd like to see your lighting and skimmer etc haven't seen the full set up or a zoomed out full system shot.

Awesome tank! Glad to see someone else running no sump no filter. I have a 36 bow that I have the aquac skimmer, no sump no filter as well.

It's a newer tank so it's just beginning to thrive but haven't had any issues at all. I did make the mistake of putting 2 blue green chromis in together though, just waiting for them to start world war 3 with each other. I might try to snatch one this weekend and put it in my other tank.

Do chromis need to be in 3s or something?

 

[Miguelh1302]

Lmao jajajajaja oh boy I do remember my gf telling me not to buy chromis, at the beginning I did buy 2 of them and put them with clown fishes and everything, we'll let me tell u am glad it was at the very beginning and it was only rocks and sand and a couple fishes, because I got home at 9pm from work and spend from 9 to 2 am trying to get those ****ers out of the tank because they were butting and following every other fish in there, we'll never again I have buy a fish without doing my research first lol, Johnny I will post some pics tomorrow of my set up if I get a chance
