My new zoa/paly paradise!!

[mwladdicted]

It's a 60g rimless deepblue tank. the main objective in the tank is no visible cords and a still surface for topdown viewing. I've been slowly adding corals and fish. I plan on adding the rest of my zoas/palys (some 40 some colonies) late next week, taking it slow so far. Current stock list is a few different types of euphillia, trachaphilia, and some tester zoas. For fish i have 20 chromis, a powder brown, 3 pj's and a pair of green mandrin's. Also being added next week is a rose anemone and a few other oddball inverts. Planning on a mangrove or 2 as well. Only one picture for now. I will update again next week.

Cheers!

Currently divorcing that all so lovely brother of mine haha, he will keep the 250g running but it will be zoanthidless (Almost all SPS). The new 60g will have all my current colonies transfered, I will post in the journal once I start the build.

What are you doing for flow on this bad boy? I was contemplating a closed loop as I don't have room for 130+ zoanthid colonies and powerheads in the new tank but it's still up in the air. I want the same top down look that Geoxman ran but I'm afraid I will have to cut back on flow for the effect.

BAH, double post. You planning on keeping that many chromis in there full time?

 

[mwladdicted]

Thats the exact effect im trying to achieve. Currently I run a mag 7 return and thats it. I don't plan on adding powerheads as I dont want any cords to show. I want the surface to be like glass for good topdown views. I just submerged the lock line far enough below the surface to keep it still and I still get decent flow,but, I dont think you'll have to cut them back as long as you place them in the right spot. Everything looks happy so far but we will see!
