My 24gal AP w/Sunpod

[acidlittle]

So I've started the nano tank to replace the 75gal.

So I have decided to show some pictures, anybody's advice and criticism is welcome!

That's all I have for tonight, will put more rock in there tomorrow probably.

Here is an update of what she looks like....still wanting some aquascape advice!!!!

and then ( I have a tendency to aquire corals and not know the name of them) I was wondering if somebody could identify this coral, it is a hard coral but I just need to know if it likes lots of flow or low flow...thanks!

thats galaxia

 

[acidlittle]

that was one of my options thanks

in a 24, I'm not sure if anything else will live with galaxia in the tank. Read up, man, read up.

Spoiler: Short little corallites with up to 7" sweeper [murderer] tentacles.

I realize that I was a little pessimistic a second ago. When I first started keeping corals I was a little angry with everything dying within a foot of my galaxia that I ended up sitting it on the sidewalk for a few days. In the sun. In the winter.

I really do like your setup, though. The aquascaping is exactly what I would do with the same size tank. I just don't think a galaxia in the middle of it is probably what you're going for. Very pretty coral, though, if I had room I'd have one.

nice rock work - put the galaxia in a corner of your tank and blow a power head right on it to keep the tentacles from sweeping out elsewhere and stinging and killing everything!

Yeah I read up about that after it was ID'd and realized that it has no business in a nano reef. Therefore...

Galaxia for sale in Ames!!!!! 20 bucks for it? it's about 4"x2" will trade for some colorful SPS if anybody around here has some!

Looks really good! In the 2nd photo how do you keep the water from spilling out? LOL
