got2envy's 20g Long Flower Power!

Hello!
I am entering the contest with a 20g long, I have had it cycling for 2 weeks. started 6/8/14
Just finished the scape this morning, couldn't figure out if I wanted to go bare bottom or not. Decided to add about 2" of sand.

Equipment
20g Long, painted navy blue
Osyssea T5HO 4x 24w 3x Korallen-Zucht 20k Super Blue and 1x Korallen-Zucht 10k Coral light
Ecoxotic 445nm actinic stunner strip
100w National Geographic Heater
Jebao WP10
Aqua Clear 70 HOB filter (waiting on PicO Aquariums surface skimmer)

Cloudy after scaping FTS

Ihttp://s982.photobucket.com/user/luv2fish4fun/media/6576dca1-195e-45c9-8af6-81fdf5952f8f.jpg.html am not to sure what route I will take as far as coral, I was kinda thinking a monti dominant tank.
For fish I think I will go with a pair of yellow tail damsels, watchman goby, clown goby or royal gramma and a pygmy angel.

Thanks for following!

FTS 9/10/14

 

[got2envy]

It has cleared up nicely today. Waiting for July 1st. I think I am going rock flower anemones dominant in this tank with some monties.

 

[Tahoe61]

Boy you always have the magic touch. The tank is beautiful without any fish or corals, few can pull that off.

 

[got2envy]

Thanks! That is a great compliment :wave:

 

[metrokat]

You did it. You made a thread!

ROAR!!!

 

[metrokat]

T5s. Sigh.

 

[revhtree]

That's a beauty already!

 

[got2envy]

Thanks Rev!! found out about the contest on FB

Yay Kat! yep I finally scaped the rocks
You no likey T5's? I have a Kessil in the wings but I like T5's for easy pix LOL

I cant wait for the July 1st!

 

[got2envy]

I ordered some Seachem Silver Shores substrate for the RFA's to have a better foot hold
Seachem. Silver Shores

 

[got2envy]

Yay! Here is my entry pic.
Added the Seachem silver shores substrate and I am trying out a Kessil a150w Ocean Blue 15k
Sorry - edited cause pic was dark you could hardly see the sign :/

 

[got2envy]

Here are the nems I will be adding! I am excited :cheer2:

I have them holding in a breeder basket in my 40g for now till I make sure the contest tank is cycled.Got
6 from VIP but will only be adding 5 cause I need the rest for other stuff in the tank LOL
It would be very easy to go over $500 with these.
The rainbow in the top right corner will not go in cause it was $119.99 :der:


$199.97


This was my first order $279.99 - $119.99 = $159.98, I will not be adding the middle one for now.



So my total is $359.95 so far that I am thinking to adding in, so that leaves me a total of $140.05 which will be macro algaes and a few zoas.
It will be VERY hard for me to stay in the budget. I am a addict. So that will be my biggest problem....restraint LOL

Hey what are friends for. I can deploy a ninja to kill your internets and slice your credit cards.....

 

[got2envy]

Do eeet! I hate when I get addicted to something I did it with Zoas and Palys and now RFA's.
They look like big candy to me LOL!
Anyways so I had the Kessil on there but I think I would need 2 of them...the edges of the tank are dark cause of the length so back to T5's

 

[AleksandrDubois]

Looks good! Love dem nems!

 

[got2envy]

Thanks AleksandrDubois!

I don't know that I've ever seen a rock flower as colorful as that rainbow. Pretty cool. I live and die by Seachem products but had no idea they made substrate. Looks good!

They come in some incredible color combinations! when the contest is over I will be adding more and try to start a breeding population
Seachem has some pretty cool substrate and def different. I also use the Grey coast sand in my 12g and it looks incredible!

Here is a new FTS with the freshly added RFA's. They will eventually open fully once they attach their foot to the bottom. I mostly just wanted to show the substrate off.



Close ups, The sea shell substrate looks heavy but it is as light as a feather.




I guess I will have to add xenia to my list :suspicious: hitch hiker. $10 I also added a bit of Prolifera.


and Aiptasia and a mojano...must kill with FIRE!!


Thanks for following! gotta figure out what Z's and P's to add

 

[Ricks Reef]

looking good ! Im thinking of setting up the same size tank. Are you happy with the flow the WP-10 is giving ? I was thinking of going with the wp-25.Thanks

 

[reefobsessed]

Where did you get the Seachem substrate?

 

[got2envy]

I am happy with the flow. 2 would be awesome but I Dont think that the anemones would want that much flow. I have it set pretty low. I think a WP25 will be a bit much. I have one in my 40g long(4ft) and it is pretty strong. Hope this helps.

The substrate I got at Premium Aquatics
