    Thanks!
    Well I started this tank using a mix of cured live rocks and Seachem stability, I never really seen a cycle happening, they told me because the cured rocks and The stability product by Seachem wich I still use every so often. As per water change, I do it once a week and I replace about a gallon and a half

    You just started this in April and it’s already cycled? My first and only aquarium was a 140 gallon – had it for 7 years, then I got laid off and had to sell it. What’s the upkeep on this? How often do you need to do water changes? How many gallons do you swap out?

    Ta you are right they sting other corals sometimes but mine has not moved at all because I build a cave for it so it stays in it

    yea and i am actually surprised that u keep anemones…….its cool to see nemo swim in them but they can kill other coral plus then can move around too…..

  6. mishac23 on 29 Mar 2009 at 3:32 pm #

    oh they do now……they used to sway more but now it looks similar to urs!

    I am not sure why yours does not fully open is it new?

    lol i actually have xenia’s myself but urs looks way cooler. urs is thicker & the way the light hits it in that shot gives it a blue look, plus all the strands were closing & opening looked really cool! better than mine! and im looking for something for my NEMO to hide in likes urs does lol

    Hi, the coral at 2:07 is a Xenia coral and the item at 3:47 is a Oceanic protein skimmer.

    Hey Paolo333333 what is that coral u show a close up of in 2:07…..??? it looks so cool how all the strands are closing at different times. Reminds me of the plants from super mario bros. Also what is that thing u lift up in 3:47….i have the same tank but i dont have that.
    Awesome tank though. I would recommend Bubble coral, really cool & sometimes u can see it eat too.

    I think is about 24 watts per light.

  12. wain1979 on 10 Apr 2009 at 6:33 pm #

    how many watts your light has?

    Thanks I didn’t know, I will keep an eye on them.

    Excellent tank- very very rare to see an ocellaris hosting with an encatmea quadracolor. Be care of your torch coral stinging your anemone or vice versa
