Wow, that's 3 weeks? Impressive. Congratulations. :11:

[TowBoater]

Thanks guys... It has only been a week since I started with corals. Here is a list of what I have in there and equipment...

Base:

15 Lbs of LR
5 lbs of fake lavarock (seeding and added as filler)
cup of Live sand
White and black sand mixture

Inverts:

5 Blue Legged Hermits
1 Astrea Snail

I did have 5 Cerith snails but they got killed by my hermits SOOOO I am trading my grandma my blue legged in exchange for her ordering me 3 orange clawed and 5 astrea snails. I will soon get a skunk cleaner shrimp and 2 porcelain crabs.

Corals:

Pulsing Xenia
Kenya Tree
Purple/Green Ricordea
Purple Ricordea
Green Ricordea
Steal Blue Ricordea
Teal Blue Ricordea
Cup/Octopus Coral
15-20 Superman Mushrooms
Hairy mushroom
Lime Green Warty Colimorph
Spiny Orange Sea Rod

Equipment:

96 Watt CF 50/50 Acintic 10000K with moon light
30g Rated Powerhead (sweeping kind)
Stealth 100 Watt Heater

Probably going to lower lighting to 64 watts and pick up another powerhead (kind with the K that has magnet back). I am considering a Modified Skilter 250 or a 10g sump/fuge.

Looks very good kuli! I like how you have the sand different colours.

Tubinaria is looking great, Mr. Almost certainly T. patula now that it's opened up fully.

Do I just take some shaved mysis shrimp over it about once a week?

[TowBoater]

Also thanks for the kind words everyone!

Cyclop-eeze is a better bet, Mr. Corals react very strongly to it, the frozen food rather than the dried. Corals you've never seen open up their feeding arrays will.
Might try putting a single frozen mysis on the coral, and see if he very, very slowly eats it. Otherwise, pick up a frozen package of Cyclop-eeze. Been using it for some time with my corals, and like it very much.

Looks great. You may want to keep an eye on the STP Coral though, they are usually not recommended for new tanks. I've heard of people having trouble with them in newly setup tanks. I've actually read that they are best suited to a tank that has been running 6 months to a year.

[coachfraley]

That is a VERY pretty tank. I think I like the look of that substrate better than regular sand.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks.... Dave, I have been feeding the dried variety to my 55g and such for a while now. I may have to go get the frozen type. I also tried Daphnia in my 55g once and my corals went NUTS!
