SmokeyCFH's Tank

SmokeyCFH · Oct 7, 2011

What's up guys! This is my 20g DT with a 10g sump with a few corals...it's only a few months old but so far so good!

Thank you guys for looking!

Nice looking tank so far!

What are your plans for fish?

SmokeyCFH · Oct 8, 2011

Thank you and I'm not really sure yet but I do know I don't really want a damsel so probably clowns. Any suggestions would be great...not only for fish but anything else you would do differently in the tank, I'm pretty new to whole thing. I have somewhere around 20lbs of LR, a solid CUC, an anemone and a few corals. Thank you.

Lookin' good so far!

Looking good so far.

I would add a few firefish and it looks like you are already on the zoa road so I would continue with them.

SmokeyCFH · Oct 9, 2011

Sweet, thanks. I have a 24g aquapod I plan to set up differently in the future, I'm sure I'll be asking for suggestion's down the road for that as well haha. Should I do clowns as well as firefish?

skinz78 · Oct 9, 2011

Yeah, Clowns are an awesome addition.

SmokeyCFH · Oct 10, 2011

Aside from fish I should be pretty good on the coral's I have right? I've got 2 green hairy mushrooms, cinnamon palys, button polyps, nuclear green palys, yellow polyps and green flowerpot.
I've been thinking about the 24g I want to setup and I was thinking about going a completely different way with it as far as corals, any suggestions for that size of a tank? Thank you.

skinz78 · Oct 10, 2011

I think you could add a whole lot more if you wanted to or just let what you have grow out.

What is that?

The tank looks good!

Looks like a Chili? BTW, the tank is looking very nice.

SmokeyCFH · Apr 23, 2012

Thanks guys! and yes it is a chili coral. It's having a rough time though...it hasn't looked like that since a week after I bought it. I've had no extension from it in weeks! I'm a bit worried so I moved it to another tank.

Mike Cruz · May 1, 2012

Looks like a great start, loving the chalices and zoas!

Good luck with the contest!

SmokeyCFH · May 1, 2012

Thank you very much! This tank isn't permanent, I'll be converting a 60g and setting up a new 100g one of these days...I'm excited! And thank you guys for the contest! You guys are a huge help in reef keeping!
