Do you have a picture of your Strawberry Shortcake?http://www.uniquecorals.com/

Locally it's called the EA Rasberry Limeade. AE is the LFS that got the colony in and only sold frags. I believe they lost the colony. There are 4 or 5 of us in the DC area that still have it.

This is the nasty algae I have:

I will beat it.

I had this algae in my tank and use microlift special blend and in week was gone. nice tank

I have decided to add a split-tank to my system that will be easy to change as my mood sees fit. The tank is 30x20x10.5 and has a 2" wall 10" in from one end; this 2" wall is to hold a sand bed in place. Above the 2" wall is a removable wall (removable for cleaning) that will keep the fish etc on that side of the tank. The rest of this tank will be my new frag tank. The whole thing will be lit with 4xt5 bulbs and the display end will also have a 70w MH for the 'shimmer'. Here is the tank; right side is the 'mini display' that will be viewable from the den:

To start, the new display will have a 2" sand bed, a rock, a rose anemone and a pair of clowns. This new tank is built into my new frag tank and will be tied into my system, and my current frag tank will be converted into an auto top off.

The 16"x9" viewing window will be just to the left of my 135 and about 5'6" up the wall.

When I get bored, I will return the rose put the clowns in the 135 and make this little tank in to a seahorse tank, or a pipefish tank, or a zoa garden, or ………. what ever I feel like

Sound like an awesome idea. I've always wanted to do a huge Tube Anemone alone in a tank or a few..........

 

[rng_pw]

love the tank. That rasberry limeade is a sick piece. Are the polyps blue or purple?

When you told be about the idea Friday i thought it was a great idea!..Cant wait to see it up and functioning!

Water is in as of last night. Lots still to do.

 

[ReeferRob]

Looks dope, any ideas on how your going to trim it out. Cap pucks, trimmed up sticks, dead corals?

 

[Leishman]

Any of those would not work for the wife! A simple photo frame theme will work.
