Last Count..17 RBTAs . .

[Foster]

I thought I would share some pics of what was once just 1 RBTA a few years back, has cloned into 17.... BTW, the tank is a 225g if that helps for scale. The top part of the patch is over 3 1/2 across.

sweeeeeeeet

 

[Slakker]

One please....lol

That's a gorgeous tank! Looks like your 225 mixed reef is turning itself into a species tank for E. Quadricolor...I am jealous.

 

[Amphiprion]

You know, that makes for an incredible display. Very nice!

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

you need to get a hold of a local breeder and stuff them with baby clowns

 

[kkyyllee]

WOW, that all i can say, does that pair of clowns host all 17 of em?

 

[Foster]

thanks.

I actually have 2 pair of percs in them. they host in all of them, though they seem to have thier favorites. I will consider adding more percs. the ones I have are still young.

VERY SERIOUS !!

Don't consider someone's saying that you're headed for a species tank as a joke. Been there, have that.

I dont . I start that tank out as a SPS clam tank, all but one SPS bleach when the tank overheat a few years ago, but my clams (and the rbta that I added in the begining) are booming. I had one LR with a couple of mushrooms on it, that I just could never get rid of. Im just letting that tank do what it wants. If I end up with all RBTA, Im cool with that. I dont have time to try to steer it into a different direction. Plus it is doing so well, I dont want to mess with it

Thanks - That 2" pipe you see next to the RBTAs is a 50g Carlson Surge tank that runs 6hrs 5min on / 6hrs 5mins off. They seem to love it?? 3x250w MH ushios w/ VHO suppliments.

Here is a whole 3 page document on when I made this tank about everything if your interested in the equiptment.

Click on the www link above my post. It goes to the RK article on my tank. I really need to take some new pics, but I never seem to have time...

Foster....just awesome!
One question...doesn't that one clam get stung by the one RBTA that looks like it is onle a few cm's away from it?(first pic., bottom right)

 

[dodo99]

Having so many individuals, I'm curious to know if any (or all) of them gone through a spawning event? (I know they usually split... but...)

 

[Jeff]

Very cool looking tank
I have one rbta. I cant imagine what the looks like in person.

 

[chrisstie]

This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing!

 

[orchidsnfish]

Wow! Amazing! That's my dream tank. Never too many RBTA's. Are you doing anything special that might be responsible for them splitting like that?
