sweet 35g looks very clean and nice! It will be interesting to see how it matures. Good Luck!

What are your impressions of that Vanuatu live rock?

I really like Vanuatu. I've used it for another tank and the price per lb is comparable to Fiji premium. The shapes of Vanuatu are more conducive to coral placement (less roundish) and easier to create more interesting caves and shelves.

Yup. Not much though. There weren't that many vendors and it was kind of a ghost town.

I picked up a 15 polyp frag of Tub's blue zoas.

And an interesting looking chalice. This photo isn't so great, but it's more pink with slight slight green edges in person.

They are also known as mini carpet anemones or Stichodactyla tapetum.

They are super hardy anemones and they don't move much.

Here's a better pic of my "watermelon" looking one.

Also, picked up this frag of zoas tonight.

I dislike tiles and frag plugs though, so I may have to peel off and stick to some rock rubble at some point. The two frags I got from IMAC were also on reef plugs and I glued them onto some rock rubble from my sump.

Do the mini carpet nems host anything?

 

[Tigahboy]

I guess they could. Depends if the fish wants to or not. I'm no expert on these guys tho.

Nice flow! Those clowns are so darn tiny! My 3 year old misbar perc is about 3" now. She was about that small when I got him. :lol:

 

[Tigahboy]

Yeah, my juvie clowns are really small. It'll be nice seeing them grow up into upstanding citizens.

 

[myreefcentral]

I think seeing small juvi clowns grow up is rewarding...

Looking good as always Tigahboy

 

[BullDZR]

glad to see you back Tigah, going to be nice watching your tank blossom after the last tank. You were a great inspiration to my new 20L

 

[uhuru]

looking really nice! is that gutter guard small enough to keep snails out?

 

[qn5reef]

Great looking tank!! I need ti find some carpet anemone like yours!!

 

[Tigahboy]

Thanks!

uhuru - none of my snails have been able to make it through the gutter guard. But I don't really have any tiny snails.

As a back-up, I also put an intake strainer on my standpipe to prevent snails from going into the actual drain pipe.

Looks like you've covered all your bases...I'm still in awe of the aquascape...
