thanks tony and ilham, im working on it.

as for the lighting, it turns on around noon, and is off around 8. the tank gets essentially direct natural light from about 7 til just before noon. adtravels, i look forward to seeing your set up!

On another note, I just noticed how the ledge your magnifica is sitting on is sitting at a slight forward down angle, which gives you a really nice viewing effect of the anemone. Neat!

What do you have for flow in there? I found getting a good flow pattern in a cube tank to be not as easy as I'd hoped because of the return flow (even with two streams). I'm thinking of taking off the streams and replacing with a single stream or maybe a Seio but putting it on something like a wavysea that can sweep it left to right on about a 30 second interval. Only problem with that is I'm not sure if it means my sand will get blown to the back of the tank. But I'm tempted to try it and see what happens.

Great mag!!! What type of nem is the second one? Great tank, I would like to do a similar set up in the near future.

Apayne
purple h. crispa.

austin is correct in mentioning the h. crispa in the next tank over, but in with the magnificas i have a s. gigantae.

 

[bluerug]

Get a pair of maroons. Awesome tank by the way.

 

[apayne]

Thanks for the reply,

It seams that magnificas and gigantae are good tank mates. They look great together.

I'd consider putting a dozen juvenile perculas in there. With two huge anemones I think it would be awesome looking.

Awesome tank, Jordan. I am so very envious.

I made a mistake by adding pink skunks to mine tank. Mine poor percula and ocellaris all got chased out of their anemones. They were sharing different anemones together for the first year but no more.

I have all the equipment for my tank now and will begin a thread for it soon it arrive 2 weeks on monday
Aquestion about flowwhat do you have
I have a seio820 two tunze nanostreams (1 modded) and a return raterd at 5000lph and intend to put a sea swirl on it for random movement.
I intend to run all the pumps during the day and maybe switch one or two off at night to stimulat calmer seas.

what do you think based on your experiences. Thanks alot
