you're coming to the swap from saratoga springs? that's quite a drive!!!

 

[zook]

I was at the last swap too d=

 

[motortrendz]

where do you get your zoas?? ive never seen so many different types and colors all in one place?? what type of light are u using?(did i miss that?)

 

[zook]

The Zoanthids have been collected for over a year or so from both local reefers as well as LFS, online orders, and swaps. I guess the number and polyps add up over time.

An update and some fish additions:

Oh so cute and so angry all the time, I'm planning to get a few more and hope that they'll be as established as this one. It's eating live baby brine and Cyclop-Eeze, but only from the water column.

I'm super excited that these are getting along in the shallow. Didn't get them as a pair, but they get along quite nicely.

And these are already spawning nightly. . .

beautiful tank, beautiful everything, one day i would love to have a tank this amazing.

one question. you keep the garden eel in that tank? how deep is your sand bed, im interesting to see how healthy he turns out to be, ive wanted one for so long, just heard some things like needing a 1 ft sand bed so i got turned off.... lol

 

[Hungriee]

Very nice fish. Your tank being so shallow aren't u afraid they jump out?

 

[rookie07]

Still awesome!

Thanks for the comments.

The eel is in my 30g XH planted tank with about 6" of fine sand. It's part of the same system as the shallow, which has no sand. I was very worry about its jumping out, but since it likes to stay in the sand, I'm feel a little safer. I only have had it for a couple of months, only time will tell how it'll do, but it's eating well and out often.

I always liked nano's, especially when they look as sweet as yours. Is it plumbed into a larger aquarium or sump?

 

[zook]

Both the 20g shallow and the 30g planted is plumbed to a 20g sump/fuge =D

 

[rookie07]

ahhhhh....I have been trying to figure out where all these plants were in your shallow tank...now it makes sense

 

[premilove]

what a beautiful tank!

 

[topmav1]

Just when you think your tank looks good...you see a thread like this! Freakin beautiful.

zook's got the best tank on the block, imo. and he's giving me free frags for life per a secret deal we struck.
