My plan for this tank is to have corals that are typically considered to be unwanted by many hobbyists. I am going to be housing anathelia, button polyps, pink and gold zoas, plain green palys and other corals that are considered to be a nuisance. Many of the corals are going to be coming from my DT and were corals that I did not pay for. My personal objective for the tank is to not spend any money out of pocket for the tank.


Here is the tank:

This should be fun! Majanos can be your main display :) they are a pretty green!

You just gave me an idea...I could use it as a tank to cultivate aiptasia and breed berghia nudibranches. I unfortunately am battling aiptasia in my display tank. Hmmmm....

The battle is a tough one, I lucked out with an aptasia eating file fish. 2 weeks no progress then one morning half of them were gone!

This is a great concept. I have been thinking for years that I should try one of these out, but never get around to it. Excited to see how it turns out

Finally, I will be able to set this tank up this week. Just got done moving. I will post up the required pic this week. Unless, a pic of an empty tank with a baggie of water in it will do?

There is officially life in the tank. I got gsp from a local member for free. The tank also houses a pistol shrimp hitchhiker, scarlet crab, snail, and peppermint shrimp.

Since the rock is covered with a good bit of star polyps, I will just say the FMV is 75. I also added my h. aurora anemone. It was not looking to well in my main tank. I got the anemone from Live Aquaria for free. They sent me the wrong anemone. It was supposed to be a sebae. I will just go with the FMV of 15. Originally paid 30 but since they are a sponsor, divided by half.

My total out pocket so far: $0.00
FMV: $90.
