Here's a little June FTS update, waiting on my Nano Flipper to arrive so I can clean that glass, at least we got the WC done!

And this cute lil bugger:

Following along! Great little build. Thinking of doing a clown/nem tank in a WB10.

Oh my, my wife has stolen your idea...we just ordered a WB10 for her nightstand, since she wants an RBTA and there is no room for it in the other 2 systems!

Now, we have to decide whether or not to get a matching Kessil A80 or try Dave's new Nanobox "Lite" fixture!

HA! We actually are backing out of the idea (at least as of now). Would love to get a RBTA in my 17 gallon but not sure it would fair well with the close proximity of all the other coral.

That's why we're setting up another system!

Its about time for another WC, but it still looks good in between proper cleanings!

Oh wow, I am way behind in updating this thread! I guess I need to take some pictures or something?

In any case, Bam bam continues to be a voracious eater and rearranges his habitat as he sees fit.
Unfortunately, his habitat is suffering from an incredible aiptasia infestation...but the frog spawn and several zoas are still doing well!

Anyone have any tips on aiptasia eaters that would survive the mantis? I was thinking about trying bergia, I know a peppermint shrimp wouldn't last 5 minuts, and the system is way to small for any fish.

Depending on how many aiptasia you have, you can use an insulin syringe and needle to inject lemon juice directly into them. When you poke the aiptasia with the needle, it will retract to its foot. That's when you push the lemon juice. Should take about 0.1 ml to get the job done

 

[Raindog3030]

The aiptasia is so thick, it looks like algae from a distance...it is a literal carpet...lol

I honestly believe it has spread so much because the mantis continues to agitate it.
