Also, to help TJ split his thread,I'll add that I'm begging him to let me get my own tank and set it up ...I found a tank that I like so we'll see!

Well that's the first split on the new thread, and most of you probably know that I currently am tankless, sinceI managed to break my beautiful custom rimless cube tank

But don't worry, I have a new, larger rimless tank in the works... and it should be arriving in January... with all kinds of new goodies and gizmos!

So I figure since I don't have a tank at the moment... I'll start off with pictures from my Zoanthid fragging endeavor from tonight.

Thanks everyone for your support thus far, and enjoy!

Oh and I think the new thread can finally be dubbed:

Please let us know how many of the zoas survive the glue, mine barely ever do, I have to resort to rubberbands

 

[Tswifty]

hmmm... that's odd.

I've always used superglue gel on Zoanthids without issues. I'll keep you posted though.

Yea Phil...I want a little cube! I'm worried about the whole matience aspect of it, though. I mean I know I'm a coral whiz and whatnot (lol), but I don't know annnnnything about skimmers, sumps, powerheads, ect.

Thats where TJ comes in tho !

 

[PhilipOSU]

well how small are you thinking? Alot of people don't skim their nano tanks, but rather make up for it with larger water changes. Now I am not sure how successful this method is if you're trying to keep your beloved SPS.

Glass... 24" x 24" x 24"

I shot the guy a PM, so we'll see what happens.

I think initially is could be started up as a FOWLR for relatively cheap just to get her and her little brothers started, and see how it goes. No sump, a powerhead, some second hand lighting, maybe a HOB skimmer and a top off unit is all.

 

[PhilipOSU]

Sounds like a good initial plan. She will be chomping at the bit to throw corals in that FOWLER!!!

 

[Tswifty]

Yeah we'll save the Tyree Watermelon Chalices for my tank though! :lol:
