I ♥ Lizzie's Tank

[Dave VG]

Some people never get good coralline growth. It’s a sine of good husbandry and water parameters. I think its one of those things either you like it or you don’t.

Awesome Tank

Looks great Lizz!

Tanks looking great Lizz. Excellent job....

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

I suppose I could always just scrape the coralline, and see whether I like it or not - kind of like a hair cut..... it'll grow back

On another subject, I'm finding I'm really missing the purple clam and bright yellow suns. I'm thinking about replacing the clam - maybe.... but yellow I just don't know. The sun coral is in my other tank now and it so much easier there. It was such a PITA to feed it in the 29g with the clowns and cleaner shrimp in there....

I think I'll just add a yellow tang

My tank looks naked!!

My tank looks naked!!

So... I went ahead and scraped the cor. algae - and my tank looks strangely empty!

I also got a new crocea clam. I'm keeping a close eye and also changed to some stronger T5 bulbs.

You can also see some of that infamous bubble algae.....

I see Stichodactyla tapetum, too :wavehand:

 

[aquadonkey]

Yep! I started with 2 tiny ones and now I have 9

Lizz,
Love the tank. The motion of the corals in the tank has to be amazing. Thats why I always have liked the softies vs the SPS tanks. Very nice placement of the corals. Maybe a bigger tank is in the future?

JMO-Kind of like the clean glass look.

 

[Dave VG]

The tank is looking real good Lizz! And I have to say I like the clean back in yours for some reason as well. I guess for me it seems to make things pop more. But that’s JMHO. And you know, really either way your tank has two of the most important traits of an awesome looking tank…. for me anyway, and that's nice rockwork and beautiful corals and that’s really what it’s all about anyway. So kudos to you for an awesome tank with or without coralline algae growing on the back lol.

 

[aquadonkey]

Thanks Paul and Dave
Paul - no plans for a larger tank. I don't really think it's my style - + even thinking about changing out more than five gallons at a time makes my back hurt . I do have a smaller (7G) one though! Need to post a thread there.....

Welcome Norbert!

Welcome Norbert!

I got this little guy yesterday - he's so beautiful and I'm so happy!
(pay no attention to the jerky bubble algae!!)

 

[jewbilee]

Glad you like him! He was definitely one of my favorite things in my tank.

Just tell people that those are pearls that the very special magical clam made.

Actually.... That's where 90% of the bubbles are - right front and center :/

Nice pickup with the tailspot Lizz - hope to grab one tomorrow (well, today actually...)!

 

[aquadonkey]

Thanks Aaron - I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine!
He's out all the time swimming in the middle of the tank - so cute!!
