The Miracle Tank

[brett_schn]

Ok, being as I have a 7’x30” frag tank now. Once it cycles all the way and is stable, should I dedicate part of it to my largest mertens nem?

I mean like feed the nem twice to 3 times a week, put it under the t5 side and see how big it gets.

In the wild they can get over 3’. I want a 3 foot nem and it would still leave 3.5 feet of frag tank. Nem poop is rich in nutrients and my sps seem to love it. The clowns mash it up and fin it out of the nem, the polyps of everything in the path of it moving across the tank come out.

Just a thought.

Pic, cause spam lol. Lights were just coming on, so wasn’t open all the way yet. Need to see if I can manage a top down shot of it.

Will it walk around a lot? And is the frag tank in an accessible room? Bc that’s a beautiful showpiece. Wouldn’t want it sitting in the basement

Frag tank is in the fish barn right now lol. Mini barn with ac and heat. Fully insulated. For walking, it would be put in, allowed to go wherever and then other stuff put back in. Mertens love light and to be on top of rocks with their foot in between the rocks. Once settled, as long as flow and light doesn’t change, mine have never moved.

Trying to talk the wife into moving the frag tank into the “formal room”. We never use it, it is full of tropical plants and the mangroves I plan to add would make it fit in. At least that’s my argument lol. Honestly, I want a lagoon style, like true lagoon and this tank can do that.

I want a lagoon too! I would love to get one! Not sure if the price would be in my range to get a 4ft lagoon but once my room is done I’m going to be poking around ;). A fish barn sounds awesome!

Good morning y'all. Hippie kid is adjusting to life with braces. He said his teeth hurt worse than his arm did. As much as he hates it, I'm very happy to give him a beautiful smile!

My pistol shrimp sounds annoyed with the clown this morning. Lol

 

[NY_Caveman]

I remember those days. Ugh. The tightenings were the worst. If it still works that way 40 years later, LOL

 

[NY_Caveman]

BTW, his smile is already beautiful ;)

I never was given the opportunity to have braces. It’s cool that he will have a smile that he will be proud of, but it’s already a nice one :)

Ahh I had braces for 5 years! Worst week is getting them on and then getting them off. Lots of ice cream this week and the he will feel normal in a few days. My teeth were terrible
