New 75 g upgrade

[tzabor10]

Don't you just love life rock. I got so many creatures and corals out of my 3 loads, impressive how all those inverts,sponges,filterfeeders survive.
I got at least one mantis too, a few pistol shrimp. Lovely click concert when it's light out ea h night. R u keeping the mantis?

Absolutely keeping the Mantis(s). They are so much fun to watch. It’s like Batman lurking around the tank. Found 5 wild anemones as well. The tank needs so much right now. Trying to keep it alive.

Setup is complete. Still tweaking the flow and lights. 2 mantis shrimp on the loose. Found 5 wild anemone so far. Loads of wild coral. Tens of thousands of barnacles. There is even a wild clam.
Added 4 BT Anemone, purple peppermint anemone, one carpet, and 7 rock flower anemones. Bubblegum digi, purple stylo, strawberry shortcake acro, Scoly, raptor favia, green oolophyllia, pipe organ, and dragon soul gonistrea all added.
Thanks Low Tide Corals, @Bulk Reef Supply @WWC , @LiverockRocks , Jason Fox, @SBB Corals , Reefworks, Clammania, and Ranch Monsters for helping to make this happen.

Here are updates! Thanks for the love. Been too busy running my business that pays for this hobby.
Thanks @WWC for the bubble coral and Lobo
Tank is cycled fully since setting up.
A One spot Foxface and whitetail bristle tooth tang keep the rock work clean.
The gorilla crab and stone crab are in a HOB refugium off the sump. Kind of a pain. But I am a collector. Thanks @LiverockRocks

I guess this is an anemone tank. Created to house an angry clownfish almost killed by a coral beauty. Here they are. Too many to count. A story for each one. For some reason I credit the @LiverockRocks TBS rocks and sand for supporting these amazing creatures.

If you find a definite way of controlling the first 2 nems without using either a copperband or australian stripey or berghia nudis(can't get them in Australia) or the true peppermint shrimp( wundermani...again not available in australia) then feel free to let me know ;)

They don’t really breed prodigiously. Much easier to keep than aptasia. These are Florida light bulb anemone. Very large and a little colorful. To kill anything like that takes patience. Try rubbing kalk paste on them. Use stainless steel tools to cut them off or grind them up.

Lightbulb anemone , bellactus lux, and curly Q are common on the TBS/gulf rock they aren’t as nasty as regular aptasia nor do they propagate as much. That said kalk paste in a pipette has been the easiest way for me to kill aptasia (turn off flow and go to town)

Haha...I thought they are aiptasia, how wrong I've been. Tried kalkpaste, just created more for me.
