The Miracle Tank

[fishguy242]

I hit another benchmark today. The first water change since dealing with the dinos2. So far so good with the focus on building up the microfuana; live phyto, pods and bacteria and a big clean up crew.

I have 9 zoa frags what do you think if I used the left rock with the carpet nem for a zoa garden?

Also,
Right now I also have a red cap monti , a frozen gonipora, a JF Sector 001 Favites and a green birdnest. The kenya tree is, well, you can see where it is (no plug, the plug fell off so I dropped it in a hole in that rock and its liked it there). There is a GSP rock in the front right.

I'd like to add a frogspawn and a duncun as wells as some easy sps sticks to go with the birds nest.

How would you plan out the coral placement?

Would you put the red cap midway on the right? Would you add purple and green cap montis with it?

It's a 29gal tank btw.

yes on the zoas ,but nem will grow also
yes on the monti placement,yes on different colors ,start small ,plan on trading or selling monti frags for larger tank :cool:

Hey y'all. Butt kicking day at work. I'm worn out.

Tangs are omnivores. I feed my two a combination of NLS pellets, PE mysis, mysis, enriched frozen brine, SF Bay Marine Cuisine, Emerald Entree and nori. I would feed LRS if I could get it here at a LFS, but you need to have a LFS. The romaine lettuce thing is from the 70's & 80's. That is what we used to feed them back then. I am not a marine nutritionist though. Just an old codger. :-)

I can't find lrs either so I had to make my own food. Oysters,clams,mussels,squid,octopus, shrimp,fish eggs, freeze dried plankton, and a sw white fish. (Octopus needs to be cut into small chunks first. It will bind the blender or food processor) Blend to desired consistency. Veggies are feed separate.

I used to do that, I have access to lots of fresh seafood (my sister-in-law owns a commercial fishing vessel and business). I will probably do that again once I get more than four fish. LOL!

Thank you - It's been long time since I enjoyed looking at the tank and planning forward.

yes on the zoas ,but nem will grow also
yes on the monti placement,yes on different colors ,start small ,plan on trading or selling monti frags for larger tank :cool:

Goycha. That nem rock is three sided, I figure I would put the zoas starting lower left and if, nay - when (being positive) they and the nem meet up, let them duke it out. There is lots of open space to the right and above for the nem and I can frag zoas as they get near.

I don't have room for a bigger tank, which I think is a blessing.

Another feel good post Dino2 pic. With the exception of a dose of a pipette of pods, for the most part these pods are from the survivors of the rip clean. It was a month to the day that I spotted the first specs of pods. This is why the mandarin is snarling at me.

Also. that larger ball of cheato was harvested from my under the tank sump to the pod HOB fuge last weekend

The cheato in the sump not only has gown back, the light circle is actually where it has gown outside the water. Loving the sponges growing on the crate. There are time I spend more time staring at the sumps than the DT.

(good thing I just took that pic, I see the media reactor line has come off the pump. I'll reattach it and may bt the winter I will get around to trimming about an inch of the tube so it lies straight).

[Scratch08]

alright rainin here,time to get MIRACLE rolling,1st numbers ha i see full house aces over 7's my last post.lol:p
@Katrina71 what's happening today ,working on stand???
@Dolelo96 you around ,feeling little better?
@Scratch08 stand dry and tank on yet?
and not to be left out any katrino's "what's up":)

Final coat of black went on a little bit ago...4 more hrs before I can clear it, so will happen in the morning...then will have to air out for a day or so before coming inside...so I'd say at the earliest it'll be Tuesday night before I bring it in and put tank on it. ;Meh

Space out so that feelers, feeders and stingers cannot reach its' neighbors.
