Looking for creative suggestions

[bradleym]

I have a 12g nano cube that I have been running for a little over a year now. I just recently remodeled: pulled out the sand, scraped the back wall, and cleaned up the rocks a little. So now it's looking good, but empty of corals for the most part. Before I add ANYTHING I want to get an anemone or two and let them find their spots.

The lighting is 30w LED and the flow is upgraded to a MJ1200. If I have to I'll just put in a maxi mini or a E. Crucifer, but I'm looking to get "unique" here. I actually put in a tulip anemone because I love them and you never see them because noone really WANTS them, so there ya go for how I think. :headwally: I am still holding out hope for a chance at a Cribrinopsis Crassa or the like (if you've been following my rants over the last year you know what I mean) but I am also hoping to get some crazy, bordering on impossible, suggestions from you guys. :reading:

For the time being, let's just assume tropical temp and photosynthetic varieties only. I'm not adding a chiller and I don't want to feed more than weekly. So that rules out Waratah or Beadlet Anemones, but if you were gonna suggest them you're on the right track! :celeb3: Also, for the sake of time, let's assume I'm able to provide perfect water quality and that my tank is well maintained.

OK, so PLEASE, get those creative juices flowing! No bad ideas just throw it out there! Thanks in advance! :beer:

Well, this isn't really "unique"...but I've always wanted to see a small tank just carpeted with maxi-minis hosting dozens of sexy shrimp.

Don't tell the Mrs but I'm headed that direction with my 210 slowly but surely, lol. I have 5 so far, and no reason to slow down. :thumbsup: Oh yeah and 3 sexy shrimp so far. I disike Petco, but they sure can mislabel things, and a $10 maxi mini is hard to pass up when the next tank over has sexy shrimp for $8.

BTW, I may end up doing that for a short while, but when they all grow up it'll be kinda crowded. Maybe no more than 3 maxi minis approximately 6 inches each, in a 14x14x14 space... I can probably swing that, you think?

Since you mentioned them, I thought you might like to see what I had so far. As you can tell, I'm really into the solid colored ones, and I pretty much will buy any one I can afford. Still hoping to get a 100% red, orange, yellow, and whatever other color is out there.

In this last pic you can see my happy sexy shrimp trio. The pics would be better, but it was all done under actinics by cell phone. Sorry.

AW CRAP!!! Busted! :fun2:

I shoulda seen this coming. This is what I get for harassing you about your phosphates...

:idea: Funny enough, I got this rock with about 4 little polyps of black sun coral. They were abused when I got them but they're recovering, and now I'm kinda bored with them. Would that be enough to buy your silence?

Lol, sall good, brothers before lovers! I'm not gonna twist your arm for them, but if you really don't want them I'll take them. Got above little 4g they can go in
