Fluval Edge 6 Gallon Build

im really not sure if it is or not when i bought it the clown was hosting it so i bought them both but now the clown couldent care less about the anemone.
Im not sure about the sand it looked blacker when i bought it but now its more grayish. still looks good but i may change it when i install the sump and put all the black sand in the sump.
 
ah i gotcha. it still looks good IMO. i created a video btw, its uploading to youtube currently so i'll send the link later. here's some pics of some new coral of mine::

Also are you ordering those coral online or are you getting them from petco ? any other saltwater places around bloomington other then petco ?
 
I'm all for pushing the limits, but this is disgusting animal abuse.

You remind me of me. My first tank was a 5.5g that housed a clown and a haddoni. I regret it to this day for being so arrogant and hard headed.

Please get a bigger tank or give the livestock away. You aren't suited to care for these organisms.
 
I could get into a philosophical and moral debate on this matter. The fact is, all fish are being abused in the aquarium hobby bc they belong in the ocean.

Jizzy-I had taken out water in order to acclimate the corals I added today I filled it about an hour after that video; dont worry the water cube still exists
 
I have been thinking about doing an edge but cant get the wife to approve the led perches but i am working on it. lol what heater are you using?
 
Just order everything at one time johndoe. Be the man and take your chances. From my experience it just starts a hella argument for a day but then you have yourself a fish tanky. lol ( Just expect her to do the same thing to u once) Good luck !
 
oh and jizzy, i usually drive up to indianapolis and go to Premium Aquatics to buy my coral and fish, i dont deal with petco. all their fish have ick and they usually have a poor selection of coral (but lately i've been noticing more coral)
 
Ya petco has got better. I do buy a lot of fish from there and havent had one with ick before. i must have got lucky.
 
yea i mean theres an occasional fish without it but it will eventually get it if its left in their tanks. their entire system has ick except for a few tanks, bc most of their tanks run on the same filtration system and they wont leave their tanks fish free for a month to get rid of the ick so its always there
 
I'm using a Panorama on a 5.5 and it's fine for that size housing LPS corals.

However two clowns and an anemone is grossly overstocking your tank.
 
Agu-yea isn't the panorama awesome?! yea on a 6 gallon almost everything will work bc of the light penetration since it isn't very tall. The clowns....well....i always wanted a pair of black and whites with a nem, and i know its way over the recommended limits and all i just wanted my dream to come true. so far they've been happy, but i plan on removing them at first notice of unhappiness/illness. thanks for the advice
 
Your pencil urchin is from the Western Atlantic, right? It will eat your xenia (mine did) and likely has the power to do damage to the tank itself.
 
anybody have some thoughts on a cool new coral to get? somethin out of the norm but not extremely difficult to maintain? or maybe just something that people dont always notice, and you think is spectacular? my coral list depends on you, people!
